I like drinking to forget your name      And I smoke reefer a'do much the same      Between me and you - there's ain't nothing I wouldn't do      To untangle these ties with you      How much sweet life source have you took      I keep thinking I'd rather not look      Our love's like a fern thats been dried up and burned      It's absurd - but I keep coming back.      Oh believe me bruther      I bleeve I'd ruther      Dig a hole and crawl in the ground      Between you and I i think I'd ruther die      So I'll just stay drunk all the time      I've been over and over this girl      But you like the rattle snakes curl      You coil to strike me again      In my wide world of sin      Lights out I think it's the end      Have mercy on me jesus christ
