that old boy kept on drinking

wanted to write a funny story song, wrote these lyrics but havent caught a tune yet

well he was drinking liquer since he was just knee high,

he'd empty all your cabinets and drink the bar stone dry,

but he'd still go to work and boy he would work hard,

he'd down the tools at opening time and meet you at the bar,

first one into the place and kicked out as it closed its doors,

head on into the night always looking to drink more,

he sat at his favorite chair and he was not a fool,

he drank that much he put the barmans kids through school

that old boy he kept drinking, drank until he went down,

he lost everything he owned drank himself into the ground,

no chance he'll be in heaven, though you can never tell,

but i bet hes gone down below, drinking hard liquer in hell

one day at the bar there was disaster in the air,

expolsion in the cellar, beer and liquer everywhere,

the barman groaned 'if we dont bail this liqer out the whole damn bar is shot,

so he got down on his batterd knees and then he drank the lot

that old boy kept on drinking, drank til he went down,

he lost everything he owned, drank himself into the ground,

no chance he'll be in heaven, though you can never tell,

but i bet hes gone down below drinking hard liquer in hell'

hed been drinking forever, and boy what a thirst,

he drank away his family and the drinking just got worse,

and when he made his death bed, 'good liquer carry me down,

dont try and cremate me you better bury me in the ground'

but the good folk around him didnt heed those words,

maybe they didnt realise, maybe they never heard,

when the pushed him in the fire at first they heard a hissing sound,

then boom he exploded and took out half the town, 

that old boy kept on drinking, drank til he went down,

he lost everything he owned, drank himself into the ground,

no chance he'll be in heaven, though you can never tell,

but i bet hes gone down below drinking hard liquer in hell
