Three Fingers of Yellowstone (117)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

Three fingers of Yellowstone
Hasn't killed the pain tonight.
It hasn't chased away the blues
Like I had hoped it might.

I ain't got nowhere to go;
It's been a tiresome long day.
One more night in a smokey bar,
Wasting my life away.

Give me one more, Mr. Bartender,
Three fingers of Yellowstone.
Ya' see Mr. Bartender, I just hate
Bein' here all alone.

Three fingers of Yellowstone
Hasn't killed the pain tonight.
It hasn't chased away the blues
Like I had hoped it might.

Three fingers of Yellowstone,
A dash or two of bitters.
Be my friend and lift my spirits;
Calm my shaky jitters.

Smooth and mellow Yellowstone,
Help me make it through the night.
She's gone and left me once again;
Yeah, we had another fight.

Three fingers of Yellowstone
Hasn't killed the pain tonight.
It hasn't chased away the blues
Like I had hoped it might.
