She used to be so beautiful

she used to be beautiful, boy but she lived her life too fast
She used to be beautiful, man but she lived her good life too fast
Now she's going around sitting and playing nice part for everybody
Trying to drink out of everybody's whiskey glass

Oh yeah, she ain't nothing but skin and bones
Yes oh yes, man she ain't nothing but skin and bones Lord
Lord if my baby can't do no better
Then hot ___ spring my baby gone

My baby my baby, she do nothing but drink and run around
Yes Lord my baby she do nothing but drink and run around
Lord gonna give me one of those _____ _____
Cause I'm gonna shoot my baby down

Now I say you know I had a little drink last night
I tried to take a drink the night before
Now before you my get a drink my way
Taking a part before, I couldn't even get to pour it
Used to be beautiful, boy but she lived her life too fast
Now she's going around sitting and playing nice
Trying to drink out of everybody's whiskey glass

Comment by Uncle John on August 17, 2019 at 12:45am: This one is fun, but sadly true. Great skiffling sound, Buggy. I like that so much.

Seems to me that women that smoke look a lot older than the nonsmokers.
