LyricMeaning

When I Been Drinking
Big Bill Broonzy

I don't need no money, I've got lucky oil on my hands

I don't need no woman's voice, always raisin' sand

When I been drinking, yeah, when I been drinking

Now, when I come home, baby, please let me lay down and rest


I'm looking for a woman that ain't never been kissed

Maybe, we can get along and I won't have to use my fist

When I been drinking, yeah, when I been drinking

Now, when I come home, baby, please let me lay down and rest


I want a job to go to work at twelve, get off at one

Have an hour for dinner, boys and my day's work be done

When I been drinking, yeah, when I been drinking

Now, when I come home, baby, please let me lay down and rest



I want somebody to pet me an' feed me in the bed

Talk baby, talk to me girl, when you go to comb my hair

When I been drinking, yeah, when I been drinking

Now when I come home, baby, please let me lay down and rest


I want to be taken out of the bed, baby, put in a wheel chair

Roll me anywhere now, baby, Big Bill won't care, girl

When he been drinking, yeah, when I been drinking

Now when I come home, baby, please let me lay down and rest
