Jim Ed Brown & The Browns - Drink boys drink Lyrics

(Jack Ripley)

God made the world round as a buffle
God made love and love made trouble
God made the wine and was it a sin
That man made wine to drown his troubles in?

So drink boys, drink got away the sorrow
Drink boys, drink never mind tomorrow
My money's gone, well bless my soul
Who put punch in the whiskey bowl?

Which came first the chicken or the egg
Which came first the beer or the keg
Which came first the fish or the sea
I'll tell you boys what is not for me.

So drink boys, drink got away the sorrow
Drink boys, drink never mind tomorrow
The dog hates the kitten the cat hate the dog
Say old woman, as you rub our back.

--- Instrumental ---

Here's to you as good as you are
And here's to me as bad as I am
But as good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am.

So drink boys, drink got away the sorrow
Drink boys, drink never mind tomorrow
Well, enough of this could make one weak
Now, wouldn't that blow Jimmy's head in the creek?

Here's to our wives, here's to our girls
And here's to the mothers around the world
Here's to them that wish us well
And them that can go straight to hell.

And drink boys, drink got away the sorrow
Drink boysm drink never mind tomorrow
There's nothing new under the sun
But I've got a bottle so let's have one.

So drink boys, drink got away the sorrow
Drink boys, drink never mind tomorrow
My money's gone, well bless my soul
Who put punch in the whiskey bowl?

So drink boys, drink got away the sorrow
Drink boys, drink never mind tomorrow
The dog hate the kitten the cat hate the dog
Say old woman, as you rub our back...
