Sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a-doin' today
Sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'
I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
Well, now I couldn't make her stay, well, doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Every time we disagreed
She was always askin' me
Are you a man or a mouse?
Now that she's gone
She probably thinks that I'm home
Just a-mopin' around the house
She probably thinks that she's the one thing
I just couldn't get along without
Well, wouldn't it surprise her, I got a sympathizer
As long as these bottles hold out

Well, I'm a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a-doin' today
And I'm sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'
I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
Well, now I couldn't make her stay, well, doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Every time I try to sit down and talk to her
It always end up in a fuss
I tried to reason with her right up 'til the time
That she got on that Greyhound bus
It'd be better if I could forget her
'Cause she sure forgot about me
And if takes all night, I'm gon' do it right
I'm gonna sit here 'til I can't see

Well, I'm a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a-doin' today
And I'm a-sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'
I'm boozin' my troubles away
Well, now I couldn't make her stay, well, doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Well, I'm a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a darn fool
That's what I'm a-doin' today
And I'm a-sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'
I'm a-boozin' my troubles away
Well, now I couldn't make her stay, well, doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
I said, just pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
I said, just pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
