[Verse 1]
Wish I was down in Florida, Florida on the haul
Instead I'm way up in old Georgia, boys
Treated like a dog
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

[Verse 2]
Seaboard train rolling down that high iron seaboard line
Gonna catch her for down to Helen
To ease my worried mind
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

[Verse 3]
Way down on the corner
See the big parade go by
Wish I was in the brass band, marching to the sky
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

[Verse 4]
All around this country and what do you think I see?
Lord, whiskey, dope, and women
Done made a wreck of me
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

[Verse 5]
Cannot stand the government
Cannot stand the law
Cannot stand the dark days comin' on the saw
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind
[Verse 6]
Way down on the railroad, just-a walking on the ties
If Beulah land's in Florida, boys
I'll never say goodbye
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

[Verse 7]
And if I die roaming in some distant land
You can take me to the graveyard
Down in Alabam'
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

[Verse 8]
Now you can take my banjo and a-hang it by the door
Way down in sunny dixie
Well I won't need it no more
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

[Verse 9]
It's fare you well darling, way on down the line
Fare you well forever
And the days of auld lang
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind
