GOOD LIQUOR GONNA CARRY ME DOWN
(Bill Broonzy)

Now, I knowed a little girl 'bout sixteen years ol'.
She said, "Bill, stop drinkin' an' I will satisfy your soul,"
But I just keep on a-drinkin'. Yes, I keep on drinkin'.
Yeah, I just keep on a-drinkin' till good liquor carry me down.

Now, my woman told me, 'bout fifteen years ago,
"Bill, you gon' drink one these mornin's an' you'll never drink no mo',"
But I will just keep on a-drinkin'. Yes, I keep on drinkin'.
Yeah, I just keep on a-drinkin' till good liquor carry me down.

Now, I wake up in the mornin' hold'n' a bottle tight.
When I lay down at night, Mama, just a gallon out of sight, (?)
Because I just keep on a-drinkin'. Yes, I keep on drinkin'.
Now, I just keep on a-drinkin' till 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 'onna keep on a-drinkin' till good liquor carry me down.

Now, my woman tol' me to stop drinkin', an' come on home.
Say, "If you don't, Big Bill, some other man gwine carry your business on."
But I'm just gwine to keep on a-drinkin'. Yes, I'm 'on' keep on drinkin'.
I'm just gwine to keep on a-drinkin' till good liquor carry me down.

[The dialect fascinates me. This is one of very few instances where I've actually heard the word "gwine." Notice how many other ways he pronounces "going to" – gon', 'onna, 'on'. I didn't try to represent these pronunciations in the text because I thought it would be too confusing: "Now" is pronounced "nowd." "Carry" is one syllable: "car'."

[Broonzy's recording is available on several collections. Also recorded by Paul Geremia on "Gamblin' Woman Blues."]
