Lyric Drunken Hearted Boy

by The Allman Brothers Band

Well, yes, people I am a poor, drunken hearted boy.
Well, yeah, people I am a poor, drunken hearted boy.
I have a whole ocean of trouble,
And just a little, half pint of joy.

I drink because I m worried, I don t drink because I m dry.
I know if I keep on drinkin, I m liable to drink away my life.
But that s alright.

Baby, bring me another half-a-pint,
I m trying to drown these blues, yes I am.
People if you had my trouble,
Baby, I know you d be drinkin too.

Alright.
Baby, bring me some Old Grandad s 100 proof.
Don t play like that man, you ll make me thirsty.
Oh, Lord.

Baby, if I keep on drinkin, I know I can t last too long.
Woman, if I keep on drinkin, people ya know I can t last too long.
That s alright, cause when I m dead and buried,
Please think about me when you hear this song.
