Everybody Loves A Drinking Man — Savoy Brown

Miller Anderson-Chrysalis Music Ltd. 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
