LOVE IS LIKE WHISKEY

I hope my child'll
Never love a man.
I say I hope my child'll
Never love a man.
Love can hurt you
Mo'n anything else can.

Love is like whiskey,
Love is like red, red wine.
If you want to be happy
You got to love all the time.

I'm goin' down to the river
An' I ain't goin' there to swim;
Down to the river,
Ain't goin' there to swim.
And I'm goin' there to think about him.

Love is like whiskey,
Love is like red, red wine.
If you want to be happy
You got to love all the time.

I'm going up in a tower
Tall as tree is tall,
Up in a tower
Tall as a tree is tall.
Gonna think about my man -
And let my fool-self fall.

Love is like whiskey,
Love is like red, red wine.
If you want to be happy
You got to love all the time.
