This next song is about America's national pastime it's called "Have A Drink On Me"
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Hey-hey everybody drink on me (woah-ah)
La-la
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Tell everybody to have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Hey-hey everybody drink on me (woah-ah)
La-la
In 1818 down a dusty road 'long come the brother with a mighty heavy load
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
He was draped in the dirt from his head to his foot
And his hair is so black God it look like soot
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
He reined his mule and he hitched it to the rail
He said "old pal it's the end of the trail"
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
He ambled on down to the old saloon
He said "I know it's early and it ain't quite noon
Hey hey, everybody drink on me"
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Everybody have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Hey-hey everybody drink on me (woah-ah)
La-la
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Everybody have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Hey-hey everybody drink on me (woah-ah)
La-la
Friends, I just dropped my tooth
I used to brush my teeth with a quarter of red mountain (?) before every performance
And I used to smoke all sorts of vegetable matter green stuff just to make me feel natural (sparagus)
And I used to lie in the gutter with men, thank you men
But those of you who never been drunkards and never know the feeling of power it gives you to walk in that saloon
Put your foot upon the brass rail, spit into the old spitter
Just a minute, and say
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Hey-hey everybody drink on me (woah-ah)
La-la
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Tell everybody to have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Hey-hey everybody drink on me (woah-ah)
La-la
Just got a letter from down in Tennessee
It said my uncle died and left an oil well to me
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
I think about my glass and I nearly got to hell
But my uncle dug potatoes and he struck an oil well
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Everybody have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Hey-hey everybody drink on me (woah-ah)
La-la
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Everybody have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Hey-hey everybody drink on me (woah-ah)
La-la
Black gold, yellow gold I guess it's all the same
Take my pick and get to up to my playin'
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
Sell your shovel and your old long john
You can make a fortune writing matter-of-fact songs
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Everybody have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Hey-hey everybody drink on me (woah-ah)
La-la
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Tell everybody to have a drink on me (woah-ah)
Hey-hey everybody drink on me (woah-ah)
Tell people
Thank you, thank you, thanks very much
