I'm gonna tie one on
to forget your face for a couple of hours
lord knows it won't do no harm
I am better off this way than sober
I'm gonna tie one on
you low down dog of a man
got the two-timin' itch
she'll scratch with her one good hand
you flea-ridden son of a bitch
I'm gonna tie one on
to forget your face for a couple of hours
dirty south shore gets down
we all ride the back of a whiskey bottle
I'm gonna tie one on
to forget your face for a couple of hours
dirty south boys got charm
the poor little girls don't know no better
you low down, low down
doesn't come when he's called
o, he tramps all over town
and runs back home when his stomach growls
I'm gonna tie one on
to forget your face for a couple of hours
dirty south damn near drowned
in a tanqueray and tonic water
I'm gonna tie one on
to forget your face for a couple of hours
dirty south girls turn down
the sound advice that mama offered
low down, low down
strutting like the litters pick
you're a sheep with a wolf coat on
somebody should've had you fixed
I'm gonna tie one on
to forget your face for a couple of hours
lord knows it won't do no harm
I am better off like this than sober
I'm gonna tie one on
