I put some whiskey into my whiskey
I put some heartbreak into my heart
I put my boots on that old dance floor
I put three rounds, Lord, in my .44
I loved a girl, she was my sunshine
Her name was Eleanor, from Caroline
She got me fast with a friend of mine
At the dance floor on the county line
So I put some whiskey into my whiskey
I put some heartache into my heart
I made my way across that old dance floor
I put three rounds, Lord, in my Eleanor
I filled my glass with Uncle Jack
I lay my skin in my Sunday black
I'll make my bed on the railroad track
I'll leave this world, Lord, and I won't be back
So I put some whiskey into my whiskey
I put some heartbreak into my heart
I made my way across that old dance floor
I put three rounds, Lord, in my Eleanor
