- Verison take 1:
I'm a drunken hearted man,
My life seem so misery.
I'm a drunken hearted man,
My life seem so misery,
And if I could change my way of livin',
It could n' mean so much to me.
I been dogged and I been driven,
Ever since I left my mother's home.
I been dogged and I been driven,
Ever 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 like 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.
