Blind Lemon Jefferson - Happy New Year Blues Lyrics

I'm thinking about the year : of nineteen and twenty?nine

New year caught me with *marked money* : man I was doing just fine

I was lying down with my baby : we had one small quart of gin

That old doorbell kept ringing : I wouldn't leave nobody come in

The whistle was blowing for New Year : around twelve o'clock at night

I lied down on there with my baby : until the good Lord brought daylight

Early one New Year morning : I was walking down by the hill

Every man likes his liquor : when he gets it fresh from the still

I hate to drink all new year : for this whiskey they making is too strong

Because when I take two or three drinks : I'll be drunk the whole year long
