Spoken:
This is Tom McClennan.
The one who put out the 'Whiskey Head Woman'
blues. Instead of puttin' out the 'Whiskey Head
Woman' blues, I'm 'un put out 'He's a Whiskey-Headed
Man', just like myself an all the rest a-you Whiskey
Headed Men.

(guitar intro)

Now, he's a whiskey headed man
An he stays drunk all the time
He's a whiskey headed man
An he stays drunk all the time
Just as sure if he don't stop drinkin'
I b'lieve he's goin' to lose his mind

Now, ev'rytime I see this man
He at some whiskey joint
Tryin-a catch a big bet
So he can get him one more half-a-pint

'Cause he's a whiskey headed man
An he stay drunk all the time
'That's like the old two bits a-rest of 'em
If you don't stop drinkin'
I b'lieve he going to lose his mind

Now, ev'rytime I see this man
He's stagglin' down the streets
Laughin', grinnin', talkin'
Wit' most ev'ry man he meet

'Cause a whiskey headed man
An he stays drunk all the time
Yeah!
Just as sure if he don't stop drinkin'
I believe he's goin' to lose his mind

Now, ev'rytime I see this man
He at some whiskey joint
Slippin' round that back do'
Beggin' one more half-a-pint

He's a whiskey headed man
An he stays drunk all the time
Just as sure if he don't stop drinkin'
I believe he's goin' to lose his mind

(guitar)

'Yeah, whiskey man let's get it'

'Just like, myself'

'I likes my whiskey and I likes my gin'

'Sho' you bum'

Yeah!

'Play it a long time'

He's a whiskey headed man
Now-now, an he stay drunk all the time

'Take your time, play it right'

He's a whiskey headed man
An he stays drunk all the time
Just as sure if he don't stop drinkin'
I believe he's goin' to lose his mind.
