Athat ol' drinkin' man liviDn' out on Tatum's laAnd well I've Eknown him in this toDwn all my lAife Ahe sips away his days, andD he's got a kindly wAay and if youE care to set a spellD, he will aAbide I said, "You Enever look much troubled and the yeaDrs are comingA on. There musEt be some secretD that you Bmown." Ahe said, "SonD, I never fight with oldA Jose. You know I aElways holdD out for PAatron. So with a mEoment ofD your tiAme won't you spEare an old mDan a diBmme? AWe'll go down (to) the liquor store, and we'll go Ddancing through theA door. 'Cause you kEnow everyD little bit hurAts!"
Athat ex-girl of mine had me lovDesick all the tiAme oh, bEoys. she was a beDauty in the daAy Aand stolen from my arms by a Dman with vacant chaArm and it didEn't take him lDong to fly awAay Etwo children at home, left to mDind them on her Aown Enow she's downtown daDncing on a pBmole Ashe said, "It's good to see you, hon. Oh, and Ddidn't we have some fAun back befEore we knew the wDays of the worAld? ESo you got a twenty dolDlar bill for Ame? I'm gonna maEke yoDu the VBmIP.

Ahe said, "Son, you best come in and reDpent for all your sAins and the wicEked compDany you kAeep. That strong drEink will make you turn, and BaDbylon will bAurn, and JEezebel will tempt you from the tBmruth." Ahe said, "Leave it all behind! You gotta liDve for the next lAife. Big DaEddy's got his eDye on yAou." and I said, "MEan, for what it's worth I'll take my chDances on this eAarth. That sounEds more like a tDrap door than the wBmord." Aand on my way to his gate I dropped a niDckel in his plAate. I said, "You kEnow every litDtle bit huArts!"
