And I Should Know

My feet felt quite unsteady on the ground And I felt like boxer trying to last the round And I felt wobbly, wobbly at the knees The drink had won the booze had got to me. Then some one yelled F. Duggan sing a song And I tried to sing but the words just came out wrong Then laughter rang I heard the loud haw haw At drunk man's silliness the fools guffaw. I left the bar room staggered out the door I'd drunk my fill I could not take anymore Next morning woke with a terrible headache And I vowed I'd quit the booze just for health sake. A week went by and I drank another beer And methought I'll wait now until the new year And I'll give abstention another try And next time maybe I'll stay on the dry. Man to himself can be so very cruel He drink until he seem a silly fool And man can be his own worst enemy And I should know as it's happened to me.
