[00:17.77]I called up my bootlegger
[00:21.48]Begged him to come to town
[00:24.20]Said, "If you don't bring me 'nother quart of corn
[00:27.44]I'm gonna jump in that river and drown
[00:30.90]Gonna jump in that river and drown"
[00:34.37]And it's oh, oh, it's a hard life
[00:38.36]When you're a drinker born
[00:41.27]The only thing I ever did wrong
[00:44.67]Was take that first sip of corn
[01:05.44]My mama always told me
[01:07.90]"Drinkin' be the ruin of you"
[01:11.54]Now I've lost my home and I've lost my love
[01:15.50]What is a poor girl to do?
[01:18.32]Tell me, what is a poor girl to do?
[01:21.63]And it's oh, oh, it's a hard life
[01:25.64]When you're a drinker born
[01:28.64]The only thing I ever did wrong
[01:31.91]Was take that first sip of corn
[01:52.16]Now don't you see that lonesome dove
[01:55.98]Flyin' from pine to pine?
[01:58.86]She's mournin' for her own lost home
[02:02.29]Just like I mourn for mine
[02:05.57]Just like I mourn for mine
[02:08.65]And it's oh, oh, it's a hard life
[02:12.68]When you're a drinker born
[02:15.65]The only thing I ever did wrong
[02:19.02]Was take that first sip of corn
[02:39.12]Won't you pass me your bottle
[02:43.28]Be it corn or rye?
[02:46.27]If I don't get some whiskey soon
[02:49.44]Gonna lay me down and die
[02:52.76]Gonna lay me down and die
[02:56.15]And it's oh, oh, it's a hard life
[03:00.14]When you're a drinker born
[03:03.00]The only thing I ever did wrong
[03:06.46]Was take that first sip of corn
