I Been Drinking Lyrics by Vera Hall

Deep River of Song: Alabama: From Lullabies to Blues

0

[Verse 1]
I been drinkin' all day and day before
When I get sober, ain't goin' drink no more
They'll call you sugar, and they'll call you pie
They'll take all your money, call you country guy
[Refrain]
Goin' to move to Kansas City, sure as you born
Goin' to move to Kansas City, sure as you born
Goin' to move, babe, sugar, where they don't 'low you
No they don't, no they don't
[Verse 2]
Walkin' down Fifth Street and Twenty Nine Main
Lookin' for that woman that sell cocaine
[Refrain]
I'm goin' to move to Kansas City, sure as you born
I'm goin' to move to Kansas City, sure as you born
Goin' to move, babe, sugar, where they don't 'low you
No they don't, no they don't
[Interlude: Alan Lomax & Vera Hall]
Sing it again
All of it?
All of it
[Verse 1]
I been drinkin' all day and day before
When I get sober, ain't goin' drink no more
They'll call you sugar, and they'll call you pie
They'll take all your money, call you country guy
[Refrain]
Goin' to move to Kansas City, sure as you born
Goin' to move to Kansas City, sure as you born
Goin' to move, babe, sugar, where they don't 'low you
No they don't, no they don't
[Verse 2]
Goin' down Fifth Street and Twenty Nine Main
Lookin' for that woman that sell cocaine
[Refrain]
Goin' to move to Kansas City, sure as you born
I'm goin' to move to Kansas City, sure as you born
Goin' to move, babe, sugar, where they don't 'low you
No they don't, no they don't
[Outro: Alan Lomax & Vera Hall]
You say there's more to that song?
Yessir but I can't remember
It's a long song, is it?
Yessir it's pretty long
And where did you learn it?
I don't know sir, I just heard the song around here. I just heard people singing it around
