Lyrics
You can buy me another whisky
And I?ll tell you all my woes
All my stories and all my glories
And the reasons why I?m here
I was not a happy man
I had money, I had land
She was sixteen, oh so pretty
And she stole my heart away
I would die for, I did cry for
My sweet love who?s gone away
And our time was short and sweet
But our love had burning heat
All my memories I will keep
Though the drink has drowned it out
Burning heat can?t be put out
I was left so cold and empty
I had nothing left to say
But the whisky, he?s my brother
And he takes my pain away
I am now a broken man
Just a bottle in my hand
So let me tell you, love is fragile
It can be taken from your life
So love your lovers, sisters and brothers
Take every day like I did mine
Take every day like I did mine
Take every day like I did mine
I am now a broken man
Just a bottle in my hand
So let me tell you, love is fragile
It can be taken from your life
So love your lovers, sisters and brothers
Take every day like I did mine
Take every day like I did mine
Take every day like I did mine
