Lonnie Johnson Laplegged Drunk Again
I've been drinking all night long : I've started again
today
I been trying my best : to drink these worried blues away
Some people drinks to hide their [worries and] troubles :
but that don't mean a thing
When you think your troubles are gone : and you find
yourself drunk again
Friends I drink to keep from worrying : I smile to keep
from crying
That's why I cover my troubles : so the public don't know
what's on my mind
I said I was through with love : both whiskey wine and
gin
You know when I found myself : I was lap‑legged drunk
again
Love will make a‑many man drink and gamble : and stay out
all night long
Love will drive you to many places : sometimes where you
don't belong
