Drunken Spree

Lyrics

I pawned my watch, pawned my chain,
 pawned my diamond ring
 If that don't settle my drunken spree
 I'll never get drunk again
 It was late last night when Miss Willie come home
 She'd made one rap
 on my door
 I said, "Is that you, Miss Willie? I'd like to know
 Don't you rap no more"
 I love Miss Willie, yes I do
 I love her till the see go dry
 And if I thought she didn't love me,
 I'd take morphine and die
 She's up in her little stockin' feet, tippin' 'cross the floor
 Just like she had done before
 Yes, and I pawned my clothes, pawned my shoe
 I'll never get drunk no more
 I begged Miss Willie, down on my knee,
 to forgive me, if she please
 "Well, you done caused me to weep and you caused me to moan
 Done caused me to lose my happy home"
 I hollered, "Oh me, oh my,
 I'll never let another drink go by"
 If I thought she didn't love me,
 I'd take morphine and die
 I pawned my watch, pawned my chain,
 pawned my diamond ring
 And if that don't settle all my drunken spree,
 Lord, I'll never get drunk again
