Lord, I know a little girl, 'bout sixteen years old
She says, "Bill stop drinkin', and I will satisfy your soul"
But I just keep on a drinkin', yes I keep on drinkin'
Yeah I just keep on a drinkin', 'til good liquor carry me down
Lord, my woman told me, 'bout fifteen years ago
"Bill, you gonna drink one of these mornings and you'll never drink no more"
But I will just keep on a drinkin', yes I keep on drinkin'
Yeah I just keep on a drinkin', 'til good liquor carry me down
Lord, I wake up in the morning, holding a bottle tight
When I lay down at night, momma there's a gallon out of sight
Because I just keep on a drinkin', yes I keep on drinkin'
Lord, I just keep on a drinkin, 'til good liquor carry me down
Yes, I went to the doctor, with my head in my hands
The doctor said, "Big Bill, I think I'll have to give you monkey glands"
Because you just keep on a drinkin', yes I keep on drinkin'
I'm gonna keep on a drinkin', 'til good liquor carry me down
Lord, my woman told me to stop drinkin', and come on home
say, "If you don't, Big Bill, some other man gonna carry your business home"
But I'm just gonna keep on a drinkin', yes I'm gonna keep on drinkin'
I'm just gonna keep on a drinkin', 'til good liquor carry me down.

Also note the last picture that looks like Bill is playing left-handed, is a mirror image.
