Whiskey Lullaby - Tune Robbers

She put him out like the burning end

Of a midnight cigarette

She broke his heart

He spent his whole life trying to forgetWe watched him drink his pain away

A little at a time

But he never could get drunk enough

You get her off his mind, until the nightHe put that bottle to his head and

pulled the trigger

And finally drank away her memory

Life is short, but this time it was bigger

Than the strength he had to get up off his kneesWe found him with his face down

in the pillow

With a note that said, «I'll love her till I die»

And when we buried him beneath the willow

The angels sang a whiskey lullabyLa la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la laThe rumors flew but nobody knew

How much she blamed herself

For years and years, she tried to hide

The whiskey on her breathShe finally drank her pain away

A little at a time

But she never could get drunk enough

To get him off her mind, until the nightShe put that bottle to her head and

pulled the trigger

And finally drank away his memory

Life is short, but this time it was bigger

Than the strength she had to get up off her kneesWe found her with her face

downing the pillow

Clinging to his picture for dear life

We laid her next to him beneath the willow

While the angels sang a whiskey lullabyLa la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la
