Drinkin' Whiskey
Lament of Lost Love: Drinkin' Whiskey Blues
Lyrics
Everybody drinkin' whiskey
Expressing a collective action of people drinking whiskey.
But I am feeling blue
Feeling sad or depressed despite the general atmosphere of drinking.
Everybody drinkin' whiskey
Observing others engaging in the activity of drinking whiskey.
I don't know what to do
Feeling uncertain or lost in the face of the situation.
My baby left me last night
Revealing the cause of the emotional distress - the speaker's partner left them the previous night.
Left me all alone and blue
Emphasizing the loneliness and sadness resulting from the partner's departure.
The night before baby left me
Reflecting on the events leading up to the partner leaving.
She told me she loved me only
Recalling the partner's declaration of love the night before the departure.
Now she's gonna and leave me
Expressing disbelief or frustration about the partner leaving despite the previous assurance of love.
To live in misery
Anticipating a future marked by misery due to the partner's absence.
Everybody feelin' happy
Observing a general sense of happiness among others.
I don't know what to do
Expressing personal confusion or helplessness despite the prevalent happiness.
Everybody feelin' happy
Highlighting the contrast between the speaker's sadness and the overall joyful mood.
But I'm so sad and blue
Reiterating the speaker's emotional state after the partner's departure.
My baby left me
Repeating the fact that the partner has left, emphasizing the ongoing loneliness.
Left me all alone and blue
Reiterating the impact of the partner's departure on the speaker's emotional state.
The night before baby left me
Recalling the moment when the partner declared love before leaving.
She told me she loved me only
Repeating the partner's expression of love, underscoring the emotional weight of the situation.
Now she's gonna and leave me
Expressing the impending hardship or suffering due to the partner's departure.
To live in misery
Reiterating the expectation of living in misery after the partner's departure.
No one is drinkin' whiskey
Noting a change in the drinking atmosphere, possibly reflecting the impact of the partner's absence.
Cos my baby left
Linking the change in the drinking atmosphere to the partner leaving.
Keep on drinkin' whiskey
Continuing to drink whiskey as a coping mechanism or a way to deal with the emotional pain.
You know I'm gonna rock
Expressing a determination to persevere and overcome the difficulties.
Bartender please, give me the whiskey now
Making a direct request to the bartender for more whiskey, underscoring its role as a source of comfort or escape.
