(harmonica, mandolin & guitar intro)

Now, you's a whiskey-headed woman
Now, an' you stay drunk all the time
Now, you's a whiskey-headed woman
Now, an' you stay drunk all the time
Now, if you don't stop drinkin'
Now, I believe you're goin' to lose yo' mind

Well now, ev'rytime I see
You's at some whiskey joint
'Yeah!'
Standin' at the back do'
Axkin' for another half-a-pint

'Cause you's a whiskey-headed woman
Now, an' you stay drunk all the time
Now if you don't stop drinkin'
'What?'
I believe you're goin' to go stone blind

Well now, an' I took you out the street, baby
When you didn't have no place to stay
You ain't actin', nothin' but a fool
Doggin' me 'round this-a-way

'Cause you's a whiskey-headed woman
Now, an' you stay drunk all the time
Now, if you don't stop drinkin'
I believe you goin' lose yo' mind

(harmonica, mandolin & guitar)

Well now, ev'rytime I meet ya, baby
You walkin' up an' down the street
'Yeah!'
Grinin',' laughin' an' talkin' with the most
Ev'ry man you meet

'Cause you's a whiskey-headed woman
Now, an' you stay drunk all the time
Now, an' if you don't stop drinkin'
I believe you're goin' to lose your mind.
