Bottle blues Lyrics

I had a friend, a brother

He was Someone, he took care of me

He held me tight and said all right

I'll love you baby every night

You're never getting out of sight

Oh baby how I love you so

I had a friend, a loved one

He was gorgeous and respected too

But late one night he showed me right

He share with me all of his plight

We'd never even had a fight

But this was more than I could sight

Oh baby, he just killed me too

He said 'when the bottle comes to me

There's only one thing I can do

Just drink it up and shout out loud

'Cause all I really want is booze'

I said 'will you ever understand

That with that strong and handsome hand

It's up to you, just what to do

It's me and you, you know that too

Oh baby, please come on through!'

I had friend, a lover

But it's long, so long ago

He preferred to booze and fight

I could never set it right

How I prayed with all my might

Now he's gone all dressed in white

My baby, how I miss you so

Oh my baby, oh my brother
