Lyrics
Whiskey Woman
Marghi Allen
(c) 2003
Well, I?m a whiskey woman
I got me a whiskey bone
I am a whiskey woman
I got me a whiskey bone
Well some times it gets so dried out
I feel just like I?m, like I?m turning to stone
Well, I?m a whiskey woman
I got me a whiskey dog
I am a whiskey woman
I got me a whiskey dog
She bites when she is thirsty
And she drinks just like a hog.
Oh whiskey, whiskey
I got whiskey on my mind
Oh whiskey, whiskey
I have got whiskey on my mind
Well I drink it in the morning
The summer and the wintertime.
I?m a whiskey woman
I got me a whiskey man
I?m a whiskey woman
I got me a whiskey man
He?s drinking all the time
So I get it when I can
Oh whiskey, whiskey
Whiskey is killing me
Oh whiskey, whiskey
Whiskey is killing me
But I love my whiskey
Takes me right where I want to be
Well, I?m a whiskey woman
I got me a whiskey bone
I am a whiskey woman
I got me a whiskey bone
Well some times it gets so dried out
I feel just like I?m, like I?m turning to stone
