Take A Drink On Me
Charlie Poole

What did you do with the dollar in your hand?
I give it to the rounder and he shot it to the bad
Oh, Lord, honey, take a drink on me

Take a drink on me, take a drink on me
All you rounders, take a drink on me
Oh, Lord, honey, take a drink on me

If you keep on talking you'll make me think
Your daddy was a monkey and your mama was an ape
Oh, Lord, honey, take a drink on me

You see that girl with the hobble on?
She's good-looking just as sure as you're born
Oh, Lord, honey, take a drink on me
