Intoxicated Rat

Intoxicated Rat - Doc Watson

The other night when I come in so drunk I

Couldn't see

I hooked my toe in the old doormat and fell

As flat as I could be

I had me a little old bottle o' booze and

I didn't have no more

When I fell down the cork flew outta the bottle

Plop glug glug glug

Hic 'n spilled it

There's a little old rat in his hidin' place he

Got that whiskey scent

He slipped right up 'n he got him a sssshrlp

'N back to his hole he went

Says back to his hole he went

Back to his

Hole he went

He slipped right up 'n he got him a sssshrlp

He's drinkin' it all 'n back to his hole he

Went

He slipped right up to my puddle o' gin and

He lapped up more and more

He says doggone my red eyed soul I'm a gonna

Get drunk once more

I gonna get drunk once more

I'm a gonna get

Drunk once more

He says doggone my red eyed soul I'm a gonna

Get drunk once more

He washed his face with his front paws and on

His hind leg he sat

And he's a gettin' pretty high when he winked one

Eye and he says hic

Hey where's that old tom cat

Now where's that old tom cat

I said where's that

Old tom cat

He's a gettin' high when he winked one eye and

He says

Hic hey buddy where's

That old tom cat I can lick him and his

Brother

The old tom cat come a slippin' in dashed over

To the middle o' the floor

The cat jumped over and the rat got sober and

He never got drunk no more

He didn' get drunk no more no he never got

Drunk no more

The cat jumped over and the rat got sober

Poor little feller and he never got drunk no more
