I'm a drunken hearted man 

my life seem so misery

I'm the drunken hearted man 

my life seem so misery

And if I could change my way of livin' 

it t'would mean so much to me





I been dogged and I been driven 

eve' since I left my mother's home

I been dogged and I been driven 

eve' since I left my mother's home

And I can't see no reason why 

that I can't leave these no-goods womens alone





My father died and left me 

my poor mother done the best that she could

My father died and left me 

my poor mother done the best she could

Every man likes that game you call love 

but it don't mean no man no good

Now, I'm the drunken hearted man 

and sin was the cause of it all

spoken: Oh, play 'em now

I'm a drunken hearted man 

and sin was the cause of it all

And the day that you get weak for no-good women 

that's the day that you bound to fall
