I'm doing the best that i can
Hiding my head in my hands
Proving without a conclusion or doubt a great deal
More than you'll ever feel
I'm giving up all that i know
It's possible to do and so
Here's to your mother
Who though i loved no other than she
Take off that silly grin
Put back that double gin
You'll need it in the morning
If i leave you without warning

(break)

I'm noticing words have been spoke
Since the day i began being broke
Now when i hear the smell
Of sweet damn all i shall tell you
Take off that silly grin
Put back that double gin
You'll need it in the morning
If i leave you without warning
I'm doing the best that i can
Hiding my head in my hands
Feeling the pinch and yet
Somehow i can't forget you
