You can't stop me from drinkin'

It ain't no use to try

You can't stop me from drinkin'

It ain't no use to try

Because the way you treated me

Hoo-hoo-well-well, I'm gonna drink until I die

You can't stop me from runnin' around

Also from having my ball

You can't stop me from runnin' around

Also from having my ball

Because I am tired, ooo-well-well

Of the other man kicking in my stall

(harmonica & instrumental)

You can't stop me from talkin'

To the brown walk-ups down the street

You can't stop from from talkin'

To the brown that walk up an down the street

Because you are chasing these peppers

Hoo-well, like a policeman on his beat

You can't stop me from drinkin'

Whenev' I feel so blue

You can't stop me from drinkin'

Whenev' I feel so blue

If you ever have been mistreated

Woo-well-well, you would be drinkin', too
