Sloppy Drunk Blues

Leroy Carr

Compositor: Lucille Bogan

I'd rather be sloppy drunk : than anything I know
And another half a pint : mama will see me go

I love my moonshine whiskey : better than a filly loves her mare
You can take your pretty bucks : give me my cool kind can

I'd rather be sloppy drunk : sitting in the can
Than to be out in the streets : running from the man

Mmm : bring me another two‑bit pint
Because I got my habits on : and I'm going to wreck this joint

My gal trying quit me : for somebody else
Now I'm sloppy drunk mama : sleeping all by myself
