Another Cotton-Mouth Mornin' (116)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

*twangy strums from Willie Nelson's old beat-up guitar*

'Woke up this Kentucky mornin';
I was feelin' pretty damned low.
My stomach was really a churnin',
And my friggin' head hurt me so!

Need a bucket o' ice water!
Another cotton-mouth mornin'!
Yeah, I'm afraid it's another
Head-splittin', cotton-mouth mornin'!

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar*

First light of mornin' now showin'
Dimly through the window curtains.
But when she rolled o'er against me,
Who she was I wasn't certain.

Need a bucket o' ice water!
Another cotton-mouth mornin'!
Yeah, I'm afraid it's another
Head-splittin', cotton-mouth mornin'!

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar*

Empty bottle o' Jack Daniels
O'er by the magazine rack.
No recollection of much else,
But I did recognize Ol' Jack.

Need a bucket o' ice water!
Another cotton-mouth mornin'!
Yeah, I'm afraid it's another
Head-splittin', cotton-mouth mornin'!

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar*

I'm just wonderin' what's her name?
Is it Alice, Patty or Beth?
Or could it be Bonnie or Jane?
It just ain't comin' to me yet!

Need a bucket o' ice water!
Another cotton-mouth mornin'!
Yeah, I'm afraid it's another
Head-splittin', cotton-mouth mornin'!

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar*

When she wakes, I'll just call 'er hon.
Yep, I suppose that's what I'll do.
Or is her name Liz or Lyndah?
Maybe her name's on her tatoo?

Need a bucket o' ice water!
Another cotton-mouth mornin'!
Yeah, I'm afraid it's another
Head-splittin', cotton-mouth mornin'!
