PASS THE BOOZE
(Ray Butts / Gene Northington)


Ernest Tubb - 1964


Been my friends all day, it's no good I'm still lonely
Seems that I just can't forget my one and only
So there's just one thing left to do if I intend to sleep tonight
So, put the bottle on the bar and let me do it up right
 
Please put the bottle on the bar where I can pet it
And take my address down before I forget it
I've got a feeling someone's gonna have to take me home this time
'Cause I'm gonna sit here till I get her off of my mind
 
My baby's gone, gone, gone
And I'm alone, so, so alone
And I've got nothing else to lose
So, bartender, pass the booze

(Instrumental Break)

Please put the bottle on the bar where I can pet it
And take my address down before I forget it
I've got a feeling someone's gonna have to take me home this time
'Cause I'm gonna sit here till I get her off of my mind
 
My baby's gone, gone, gone
And I'm alone, so, so alone
And I've got nothing else to lose
So, bartender, pass the booze
Please, bartender, just pass the booze
