lyrics

YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THE WHISKEY

words and music by Mike Russell (ASCAP) and Richard Melvin Brown (SOCAN)


Well she said I was a wild one
That I’d go straight to hell
So I looked at her a smiled
Said “darlin’ how can you tell”

She said I was a bad seed
And that my friends were worthless too
Said I knew them way before you

So you can blame it on the whiskey
But I think you’d be dead wrong
But it sure helps me get along

Yea you could blame it on the drinkin’
But I don’t think that it’s the cause
I just like the life I’m livin’
And I do it just because

She said “I don’t understand”
How you can act this way
So I looked at her and smiled again
Said “darlin’ why the hell do you stay?

She said that I don’t have a clue
Just why I stay with you
Guess it’s just that I believe
That I can pull you through

And she blames it on the whiskey
But I’m certain she’s dead wrong
Cause whiskey ain’t the cause of this
But it sure helps me get along

You could blame it on the drinkin
But I sure don’t think that it would do
I just like the life I’m livin
And it helps me stay with you

Yea, I just like the life I’m livin
And the whiskey get’s me through
To tell the truth my darlin

Yea, to tell the truth my darlin
I only drink because of you
And it sure enough does get’s me through.

Yea all this drinking darlin’
will sure enough
Get me through
