"Laplegged Drunk Again" lyrics

Bruce Cockburn Lyrics

"Laplegged Drunk Again"
(originally by Lonnie Johnson)

I've been drinking all night long
Start again today
I've been drinking all night long
Start again today
Been trying my best to drink these weary blues away

Some people drink to hide their troubles
But that don't mean a thing
Some people drink to hide their troubles
But that don't mean a thing
When your troubles are all gone, and you find yourself drunk again

Friends, I drink to keep from worrying
Smile just to keep from crying
I drink to keep from worrying
Smile just to keep from crying
I has quite hide my troubles, so the public don't know what's on my mind

I said I was through with love
Both whiskey, wine and gin
You know I was through with love
Both whiskey, wine and gin
When I found myself, I was lap-legged drunk again

Love will make a many man drink and gamble
Stay out all night long
Love will make a many man drink and gamble
Stay out all night long
Love will take you into many places, sometimes where you don't belong
