"WC Fields" meets "Johnny Cash" (Original) Booze Song

Some WC Fields quotes made into a Johnny Cash booze tavern whiskey song
Lyrics;
If I had my life to live over,
I'd want to live over a saloon,
But for now I'll have a little sip of breakfast,
To help me forget this afternoon,
When I die I want to live in Philadelphia,
Awat from kids but close to Whiskey Lake,
Where I can swindle strangers and some people whom I know,
I never give a sucker an even break,
Horsesense tells me I should sip some rum,
Whenever I'm feeling feeble,
Horsesense is that thing that horses seem to have,
That makes them too smart to bet on people,
Doctors say to stay away from liquor,
But medical advice is over ballyhooed,
I like to cook with wine in my kitchen,
Sometimes I even put some in the food,
There once was a lady I loved dearly,
But she ran off with a banker,
It was her actions, I think,
That drove me to drink,
And Folks, I didn't have the decency to thank her

Ta, Featuremeister. Another Chickelberry triumph! You do a fair impression of JC (the cash version, that is...wouldn't know what to look for in an impersonator/ix of the other!).

[Featureman]

@its8ace Thanks. I think WC Fields would have been an interesting character to have known.

[grekosmuse]

[Featureman]

Thanks. Greetings from Tennessee.

'Work is the curse of the drinking class'....W C Fields I believe.

[Featureman]
