Rory Gallagher Lyrics
"Too Much Alcohol"

Yeah, too much alcohol, yeah

I went down on 31st Street
To pick up a jug of alcohol
Well, I went down on 31st Street
To pick up a jug of alcohol

Ahh, told the man to put in some water
But he wouldn't put in a drop at all

I was drinking my straight alcy
And I went walking on down the street
Well, I was drinking my straight alcy
And I went walking on down the street

Yeah, well, my eyes got so heavy
I nearly fell half asleep

Well, I like sherry brandy
My baby sure like gin
Well, that little girl I got
Sure put me in the spin I'm in

Well, I went down on 31st Street
To pick up a jug of alcohol

Yeah, I told the man to put in some water
But he wouldn't put in a drop at all

Whiskey make me drowsy
And gin can make you think
Well, a common cold can kill ya
But, my baby tell me to drink

I went down on 31st Street
To pick up a jug of alcohol

Yeah, I told the guy to put in some water
But he wouldn't put in a drop at all
One hundred per cent alcohol
Well, let me have some

Well, I like sherry and brandy
My baby sure likes gin
And that little girl I got
Sure put me in the spin I'm in

I went down on 31st Street
To pick up, pick up a jug of alcohol

Yeah, I told the man to put in some water
But he won't put in a drop at all

Ninety one per cent?
Better make it ninety two
Ninety three per cent?
Ninety four? That'll do

Ninety five, ninety six
Ninety seven per cent
Ninety eight?
Bartender, that's ninety nine
Make it one hundred per cent

One hundred per cent
One hundred per cent
Wanna try some?
I wanna try some
One hundred per cent
Then I won't feel a thing at all
