"Drunken Woman Blues" (hoopiejohn original)

What's fair is fair. I have recorded a video on YouTube entitled "Whiskey Headed Man", so I'm now giving my equal time to the fairer sex.

This song is dedicated to my first wife, whose whereabouts are unknown, but the drunk tank in Murfreesboro, Tennessee's jail would be a good place to look for her.

****** Drunken Woman Blues ******

You can drink your liquor,
You can drink your canned cold beer;
...repeat...
But a drunken woman,
Sure ain't welcome here!

A drunken woman,
She always fuss and fights;
...repeat...
She's got a temper,
Like a snapping turtle's got bite.

A drunken woman,
Ain't no friend of yours;
...repeat...
When you feeling most friendly,
She lays there drunk and snores.

She won't keep house,
Or mind what the children do;
...repeat...
If it ain't burned down,
What a wreck you'll come home to.

She won't cook nothing,
Lays sick in bed all day;
...repeat...
Then she'll go out drinking,
Spending your hard-earned pay.

A drunken woman's
Too easy with her love;
...repeat...
Three men, four men,
Five men, ain't enough.

You can drink your liquor,
You can drink your canned cold beer;
...repeat...
But a drunken woman,
Sure ain't welcome here!

Played finger style on my 6-string Republic brass-bodied "Resolian" parlor resonator guitar; self-accompanied with an "E" scale Hohner "Blues Harp" harmonica (but almost any brand or model will do).

Note: I wear the ski mask because I'm otherwise famous, and don't want this to "get out".
