[Chorus:]
Sometimes I'm alright
And sometimes I get you off my mind
But other times all I do is cry, I cry
Sometimes I feel well
And sometimes, oh honey, I feel so swell
But other times, oh I feel like hell, like hell
I moved on about a month ago
I packed my bags and I hit the road
I said "bye-bye, baby
Might see you some sweet day"
She cried big sour tears and closed the door
After these tears fall I won't see you no more
Said, don't leave a thing to remember you by
[Chorus]
She was my watermelon woman
My cornbread queen
I met that gal when she was just nineteen
I said oo-wee mama, she's a thing to see
We stayed out all night and fought dogs
We drank like fish and loved like hogs
What a trifle of a life for a man to live
[Chorus]
So now I sit alone and mosey out of mind
Except every now and then at closing time
There's a sweet memory at the bottom of my glass
I feel it fall to belly and rise to my heart
It hits my head when I leave the bar
It's a long, long walk
And I take my time
