Ten Little Bottles lyrics

A friend of mine gave me ten little bottles
Of some special stuff that he d brewed up hisself
But one day I was samplin it a little you know just a touch
My wife found out about it
I had it hid down in the basement you see
And she says you go down there and get rid of that or else

Well since I didn t like the way she said or else
I went down there and proceeded to carry out her instructions

Well I set the rest of these bottles up on the drainboard

I picked up the first bottle and I pulled the cork out of it
And I poured it down the sink
That is all except one little swaller which I drank

I picked up the next bottle and I pulled the sink out of it
And I poured it down the sink
All except one little swallow which I drink

I picked up the next cork and I pulled the sink out of it
And I poured it down the bottle
All except one tiny little swallow which I sank

I usually have a little difficulty with this number
You see I come from a great long line of stink, uh drinkers
I had an uncle once he drank a quart a day everyday of his life
No kiddin he could drink a quart an not even stagger
He couldn t even move
We told him we said
You d better quit drinkin that stuff it s gonna kill you
Sure enough it killed him
He died last year at the age of 102

Don t laugh we dug him up last week
And he looks better than ya ll do now
We got back here he asked me
What s the difference between a drunk and an alcoholic
Well I m gonna tell you
Us drunks don t have to attend all them danged ol meetings

Listen you may talk about me
But I tell you one thing
You d better not say anyting against my wife
Cause I ll have you know I ll have you know
That I got the wifest little nice in the whole New Nighted Stakes
