Goodbye Old Booze
[Verse 1]
Goodbye old booze
Goodbye old booze
Forever more
Forever more
My drinking days
My drinking days
Are surely o'er
Are surely o'er
I've had a good time
I've had a good time
And I must not grieve
And I must not grieve
For drinking booze
For drinking booze
Is killing me
Is killing me
[Verse 2]
Go dig my grave
Go dig my grave
Both wide and deep
Both wide and deep
Place a bottle of corn
Place a bottle of corn
At my head and feet
At my head and feet
Place a pair of dice
Place a pair of dice
In my right hand
In my right hand
I'll shoot my way
I'll shoot my way
To the promised land
To the promised land
[Verse 3]
And if I go
And if I go
To my home below
To my home below
I'll shovel coal
I'll shovel coal
Instead of snow
Instead of snow
And if I go
And if I go
To my home above
To my home above
I know I'll meet
I know I'll meet
The baby I love
The baby I love
[Verse 4]
How dry I am
How dry I am
How dry I am
How dry I am
Nobody seems
Nobody seems
To care very much
To care very much
Upon my head
Upon my head
My coat and shoes
My coat and shoes
Pour one more drink
Pour one more drink
Of good old booze
Of good old booze
