Doc Watson - Intoxicated Rat Lyrics
The other night when I come in, so drunk I couldn't seeI hooked my toe in the old doormat and fell as flat as I could beI had me a little old bottle o' booze (and I didn't have no more)When I fell down - the cork flew outta the bottle (Plop!-glug glug glug....hic) - 'n spilled itThere's a little old rat in his hidin' place, he got that whiskey scentHe slipped right up 'n he got him a sssshrlp, 'n back to his hole he wentSays back to his hole he went, back to his hole he wentHe slipped right up 'n he got him a sssshrlp (he's drinkin' it all) 'n back to his hole hewentHe slipped right up to my puddle o' gin and he lapped up more and moreHe says "Doggone, my red-eyed soul, I'm a-gonna get drunk once more""I gonna get drunk once more, I'm a-gonna get drunk once moreHe says "Doggone, my red-eyed soul, I'm a-gonna get drunk once more"He washed his face with his front paws and on his hind leg he satAnd he's a-gettin' pretty high when he winked one eye and he says "(hic) Hey, where's thatold tom-cat?""Now where's that old tom-cat? I said where's that old tom-cat?He's a-gettin' high when he winked one eye and he says "(hic) Hey, buddy, where'sthat old tom-cat? (I can lick him and his brother)"The old tom-cat come a-slippin' in, dashed over to the middle o' the floorThe cat jumped over and the rat got sober and he never got drunk no moreHe didn' get drunk no more, no he never got drunk no moreThe cat jumped over and the rat got sober (poor little feller) and he never got dunk nomore
