By the allman brothers band

From the fillmore concerts



Well, yes, people i am a poor, drunken hearted boy.

Well, yeah, people i am a poor, drunken hearted boy.

I have a whole ocean of trouble,

And just a little, half pint of joy.



I drink because i'm worried, i don't drink because i'm dry.

I know if i keep on drinkin, i'm liable to drink away my life.

But that's alright.



Baby, bring me another half-a-pint,

I'm trying to drown these blues, yes i am.

People if you had my trouble,

Baby, i know you'd be drinkin too.



Alright.

Baby, bring me some old grandad's 100 proof.

Don't play like that man, you'll make me thirsty.

Oh, lord.



Baby, if i keep on drinkin, i know i can't last too long.

Woman, if i keep on drinkin, people ya know i can't last too long.

That's alright, cause when i'm dead and buried,

Please think about me when you hear this song.
