Close up the bar and close the gates of the brewery
She's out there every night and she sure ain't drinkin' tea
I love that woman, she's the best one that I had
But she's got this habit now and it sure is gettin' bad

That whiskey drinkin' woman is makin' a poor man outta me

She's got bottles in the kitchen, even got them in my bed
Most times I see her now, she's three parts out her head
Don't know where I went wrong, I sure try to treat her right
But it sure upsets me seein' her juiced up every night

That whiskey drinkin' woman is makin' a poor man outta me

Help me solve this problem, won't you help me find the key
The way that things are goin', have to buy the distillery
She just stands there smilin' with a whiskey in each hand
Got to think of something, don't know how much I can stand

Whiskey drinkin' woman is makin' a poor man outta me

Got to get myself together, start workin' somethin' out
Maybe if I tried some booze I'd know what it's about
I love that woman, she's the best one that I had
She's got this habit now, it sure is gettin' bad

Whiskey drinkin' woman is makin' a poor man outta me
