Well she tore my clothes
She swelled my head
So goodbye booze i'm goin to bed
I had a good time, but we couldn't agree
So you see what booze has done for me

Oh goodbye booze Forever more
My boozin' days will soon be o'er
I had a good time, but we couldn't agree
So you see what booze has done for me
Well she slammed my head
She broke my heart
So goodbye booze its time we part
I had a good time


That's a version of a song we used to call Goodbye Booze. Sung by the Old Crow Medecine show.

We sung another version when I were a lad. Which ended with

For we're alll teetotal, singing as we go
To the land where the beer and whisky flow.

Though what it has to do with Caber Feidh I don't know. It's not even to the same tune.
