Bar Room Drinking - John Lee Hooker

Oh, darlin', you so good, you’re good for me

When you, first met me, first me

Drinkin' was my pastime

In bar room, bar room was my home

Was my home

Oh, darlin' you come along

You pick me up, you know you

The best thing, the best thing

I ever had, I ever had, I ever had

Oh darling, oh, oh, darling

You’re the best thing I ever had

You’re good for me, you’re good for me

I was drinking, I was drinking

I was drinking, my life away

I didn’t know, I didn’t know

I didn’t know, didn’t know what to do

I took drinking, drinking for a pass time

And bar room, bar room

I made it my home, yes I did

Oh, hear me out now

Sometimes I get lonely

I go to my neighborhood

My neighborhood, my neighborhood bar

Sit there and drink and drink, passing way time

For the pass time honey, I was so lonely

'Til you come along

You were the best thing darlin'

The best thing, I ever had

I, I wanna thank you for it

Have mercy, drinkin' in bar rooms

You’re my only hope, to pass time

You know this?

You know this song

The man wrote this song was thinking so deep

'Cause I been through it to

Mr Tex Coleman, wrote the thing

Sir John Dewey, I said yeah

I, I, I, drink and drinkin' for pastime

In bar room, bar room, bar room

Bar room, I took it for my home

I, I, sometimes, that would

Be before I met you babe

I was drinking, drinkin' my life away

Drinkin in bar room, to pass the time away

You come along just in time

You save me, you save me

You save me, you save me

Shared the time, just in time darling

You saved me darling, for pass time, pass time

You save from bar room bar room

Bar room, bar room and drinkin' the pass time

Aye, I, I
