And it's troubles up and down the road
And it's trials all the way around
I never knew what trouble really was
Till' my darling threw me down
Ragged clothes dropping from my body
And my heart strings broken to shreds
Blues'll creep on over my body
Their notions running through my head
Cause if wine and whiskey don't kill me
There'll be one more plan to find
I will fetch that old rub alcohol
And ease the troubles all off of my mind
I'll soak up that old run alcohol
And ease the troubles all off of my mind
Well the easiest thing that I ever did
Was loving and drinking wine
And the hardest thing I've ever done
Was getting you off of my mind
Having never worked for pleasure
Peace on earth I cannot find
The only thing I surely own
Is a worried and a troubled mind
Because if wine and whiskey dont kill me
There'll be one more plan to find
I will fetch that old rub alcohol
And ease the troubles all off of my mind
I'll soak up that old rub alcohol
And ease the troubles all off of my mind
When my worldly trials are over
And my last goodbye I send
Bury me near my darling's doorstep
Where the roses bloom and fade
Cause if wine and whiskey don't kill me
They'll be one more plan to find
I will fetch that old rub alcohol
And ease the troubles all off of my mind
I'll soak up that old rub alcohol
And ease the troubles all off of my mind
