One Drink Down

To Rafferty's Bar in My Old Jaunting Car
I Took Myself One Friday Evening
To Think On a Son So Deceiving
It's One Drink Down and Another to Go

He Was Married in Haste to a Woman Unchaste
Much to the Shame of the Father
His Face Still Half-covered in Lather
It's One Drink Down and Another to Go

It's One Drink Down and Another to Go
When I Pass Through the Town I Must Hang My Head Low
It's One Drink Down and Another to Go

I'm Not the Kind to Condemn Out of Hand
A Woman Whose Virtue Is Easy
Just As Long As She Doesn't Deceive Me
It's One Drink Down and Another to Go

Imagine a Life With An Unfaithful Wife
Might Wake Up in the Morning
And Find That She's Left Without Warning
It's One Drink Down and Another to Go
