Close up the bar you know the gates of the brewery
She´s out there every night
And she sure ain´t drinkin´ tea
I love that woman, she´s the best one that I had
But she´s got this habit now and it sure is gettin´ bad

Whiskey drinkin´ woman
Is makin´ a poor man out of me

She´s got bottles in the kitchen
Even got them in my bed
Most times I see her now
She´s three parts out of her head
Don´t know where I went wrong
I sure try to treat her right
But it sure upsets me
Seein´ her juiced up every night

Whiskey drinkin´ woman
Is makin´ a poor man out of me

Got to solve this problem
Wont you help me find the key
The way that things are going
I´ll have to buy the distillery
She just stands there smilin´
With a whiskey in each hand
Got to think of something
Don´t know how much I can stand

Whiskey drinkin´ woman
Is makin´ a poor man out of me

Got to get myself together, start workin´ something out
Maybe if I tried some booze, I´d know what it´s about
I love that woman, she´s the best one that I had
But she´s got this problem now
And it sure is gettin´ bad

Whiskey drinkin´ woman
Is makin´ a poor man out of me
