(harmonica, mandolin & guitar intro)

Now, you's a whiskey-headed woman

Now, an' you stay drunk all the time

Now, you's a whiskey-headed woman

Now, an' you stay drunk all the time

Now, if you don't stop drinkin'

Now, I believe you're goin' to lose yo' mind

Well now, ev'rytime I see

You's at some whiskey joint

 'Yeah!'

Standin' at the back do' 

Axkin' for another half-a-pint

'Cause you's a whiskey-headed woman

Now, an' you stay drunk all the time

Now if you don't stop drinkin'

 'What?'

I believe you're goin' to go stone blind

Well now, an' I took you out the street, baby

When you didn't have no place to stay

You ain't actin', nothin' but a fool

Doggin' me 'round this-a-way

'Cause you's a whiskey-headed woman

Now, an' you stay drunk all the time

Now, if you don't stop drinkin'

I believe you goin' lose yo' mind

(harmonica, mandolin & guitar)

Well now, ev'rytime I meet ya, baby

You walkin' up an' down the street

 'Yeah!'

Grinin',' laughin' an' talkin' with the most

Ev'ry man you meet

'Cause you's a whiskey-headed woman

Now, an' you stay drunk all the time

Now, an' if you don't stop drinkin'

I believe you're goin' to lose your mind.
