From the recording Heartache and trouble
Lyrics
Pass me the empty bottle, baby, I sure don’t want to drink from your glass
Pass me the empty bottle, baby, I sure don’t want to drink from your glass
Need the cut out the middle man, see if I can get my troubles to pass
Troubles to pass
Got to tell you people, that I love my girl but somethings wrong
Got to tell you people, that I love my girl but somethings wrong
I just don’t get the feeling that that girl is mine alone
Mine alone
Its not that she’s on the telephone, and she don’t stay out all night
Its not that she’s on the telephone, and she don’t stay out all night
Its just that when I hold that girl, it’s just like holding a block of ice
Let me tell you people, what I tried to do
I sent her a dozen roses and signed the card from one who really loves you
And when I got home and asked her about it
Flowers, she said, they’re just someone I used to know from school
So, pass me the empty bottle, baby, I don’t want to drink from your glass
Pass me the empty bottle, baby, don’t want to drink from your glass
From your glass
And I gotta cut out a middle man, if I’m ever gonna get my troubles to pass
My troubles to pass
So wont you pass me the bottle baby and I’m gonna tell you what I’m gonna do
Won’t me the empty bottle baby, and let me tell you just what I’m gonna do
If you’re gonna play me for a gool darling, don’t you know I’m gonna drink like one too
