[Verse 1]
Close up the bar and close the gates of the brewery
She's out there every night, man, she sure ain't drinkin' tea
I love that woman, she's the best one that I had
But she's got this habit now and it sure is gettin' bad

[Chorus]
That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me

[Verse 2]
She's got bottles in the kitchen, even got them in my bed
Most times I see her now she's three parts out of her head
Don't know where I went wrong, I sure tried to treat her right
But it sure upsets me seein' her juiced up every night

[Chorus]
That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me

[Verse 3]
Help me solve this problem, won't you help me find the key
The way that things are going, I'll have to buy the distillery
She just stands there smilin' with a whiskey in each hand
Got to think of something, don't know how much I can stand
[Chorus]
That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me

[Verse 4]
Got to get myself together, start workin' something out
Maybe if I tried some booze, I'd know what it's about
I love that woman, she's the best one that I had
But she's got this habit now and it sure is gettin' bad

[Chorus]
That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me
