I´ve done a lot of laughing and a little bit of crying I´ve been a lot of places And I’ve got a mess of friends I got married to a bottle
It gave me bad loving, yeah If I could re-live all my days Changing my ways I´d not touch´ a drop again
By the devil I was tempted And many jugs I´ve emptied I felt so rejected I didn´t wanna go away Half my life has been awasted By the booze I´ve tasted But the demon I have faced it And sent him on his way
I hope I´ll be forgiven For all my bad livin´ I had to make some changes Or he’d have got me in the end
Now I have a pretty woman She gives me good lovin´, yeah I can ´t re-live all my days in a different way But I won´t go astray again
By the devil I was tempted And many jugs I´ve emptied I felt so rejected I didn´t wanna go away Half my life has been awasted By the booze I´ve tasted But the demon I have faced it And sent him on his way
