Sloppy Drunk Blues Lyrics

Lucille Bogan Sloppy Drunk Blues

I saw you last evening standin' up against a tree
I saw you last evening standin' up against a tree
I heard you say you were sick but you looked sloppy drunk to me

Well your hat was on backwards and your clothes were comin' off of you
Well your hat was on backwards and your clothes were comin' off of you
You were preachin' to the birds and doin' the boogie woogie too

The ambulance came to get you and the doctor had to strap you down
The ambulance came to get you and the doctor had to strap you down
Somebody said you blew a fuse, now the talk's all over town

I wouldn't believe it if they told me, but I was standing there to see
I wouldn't believe it if they told me, but I was standing there to see
Well maybe you were sick but you looked sloppy drunk to me

You get drunk Saturday evenin' and you stay drunk Sunday mornin' too
You get drunk Saturday evenin' and you stay drunk Sunday mornin' too
Well you'd be better off if they kept that juice away from you
