Tuning: E A D G B E
CI worked the rigs from three to midnight On the Corpus Christi FBay
I'd get off and drink till Cdaylight Sleep the morning right G7away
I had a Cplan to take some wages Leave the rigs behind for Fgood
But that life it is Ccontagious And it gets G7down in your Cblood
I lived in Corpus with my brother
We were always on the Frun We were bad for one Canother
But we were good at having G7fun
We got Cstoned out on the seawall We got drunk and rolled a Fcar
We knew the girls at every Cdance-hall Had a G7tab at every Cbar
If I could live my life all G7over FIt wouldn't matter Canyway
Cause I never could stay G7sober On the Corpus Christi CBay
My brother had a wife and family
You know he gave them a good Fhome But his wife thought we were Ccrazy
And one G7day we found them Cgone
We threw her clothes into the car trunk
Her photographs her rosaFry We went out to the pier and got Cdrunk
And threw G7it all into the Csea
If I could live my life all G7over FIt wouldn't matter Canyway
Cause I never could stay G7sober On the Corpus Christi CBay
Now my brother lives in Houston
He married for the second Ftime He got a good job with the Cunion
And it's keeping him in G7line
He came to CCorpus just this weekend It was good to see him Fhere
He said he finally gave up Cdrinking Then he G7ordered me a Cbeer
If I could live my life all G7over FIt wouldn't matter Canyway
Cause I never could stay G7sober On the Corpus Christi CBay
If I could live my life all G7over FIt wouldn't matter Canyway
Cause I never could stay G7sober On the Corpus Christi CBay
