Everybody Loves A Drinking Man - Savoy Brown

Well my daddy never drank no whiskey

He never wet his liver with gin

My momma said she loved nobody else

But she really loved the drinking man

Respectable though my daddy was

Until he heard of mama’s sin

He drank every drop of liquor in this place

And we never saw my daddy again

Because everybody loves a drinking man

Everybody loves a drinking man

Well my uncle was a real good talker

He’d talk the beak off a myna bird

Until someone dropped a glass of whiskey in his hand

He never said another word

Because everybody loves a drinking man

Everybody loves a drinking man

So understand that people will judge you

On your good and not your words

So if you’re looking for a favor or two

You may likely die of thirst

Because everybody loves a drinking man

Everybody loves a drinking man

Everybody loves a drinking man

Everybody loves a drinking man
