Whiskey Deaf And Whiskey Blind

Norman Blake ~ Whiskey Deaf And Whiskey Blind

Wish Is'e down in Florida
Florida on a hog
'Stead of way in ol' Georgia
Treated like a dog
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

Seaboard train a 'rollin' down
The high iron seaboard line
Gonna catch her for Dunellon
Just to ease my worried mind
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

Way down on the corner
See the big parade go by
Wish Is'e in the brass band
A' marchin' to the sky
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

Cannot stand the government
Cannot stand the law
Cannot stand the dark days
A' comin' on us all
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

Way on down the railroad
Just a walkin' on the ties
If Beulah Land's in Florida
I'll never say goodbye
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

If I die a roamin'
In some distant land
Take me to the graveyard
Way down in Alabam'
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind

You can take my banjo
And hang it by the door
Way down in sunny Dixie
I won't need it no more
Whiskey deaf and whisky blind

It's fare you well, darlin'
Away on down the line
Fare you well forever
And the days of auld lang syne
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind
