Intoxicated Rat Doc Watson

The other night when I come in
So drunk I couldn't see
I hooked my toe in the old doormat
And fell as flat as I could be

I had me a little old bottle ol' booze
And I didn't have no more
When I fell down, the cork flew outta the bottle
And spilled it

There's a little old rat in his hidin' place
He got that whiskey scent
He slipped right up and he got him a—
And back to his hole he went

Says back to his hole he went
Back to his hole he went
He slipped right up and he got him a— He just drank it all
And back to his hole he went

He slipped right up to my puddle of gin
And he lapped up more and more
He says, "Doggone, my red-eyed soul
I'm a-gonna get drunk once more"

"I'm gonna get drunk once more
I'm a-gonna get drunk once more"
He says "Doggone, my red-eyed soul
I'm a-gonna get drunk once more"
