(spoken)
G
I went to see an old army buddy of mine to do some drinking
G | |
And his wife had become an alcoholic
G | |
And I wrote a song about it
[VERSE]
G C
Pay no attention to Alice -
G
she's drunk all the time,
C
Hooked on that wine,
C
Bunches of it
G | |
And it ruined her mind
G C
Pay no attention to Alice -
G
They say she's a sot,
C
Sane, she is not
C
But she loves it
G | |
And it's all she's got
[CHORUS 1]
D7 C
She made that apple pie from a memory
G
Made them biscuits
D7
From a recollection
G
That she had
D7
She cooked that chicken too long
C
But she don't know that
G
Oh, what the hell,
D7
It ain't too bad!
[VERSE]

D7 C
Don't talk about the war, I was a coward
G
Talk about fishing
D7
And all the good times
G
Raising hell
D7
Empty that one down,
C
We'll get another
G Em G G Em G
It's gettin' late,
D7
We might as well
[CHORUS 3]
D7
But we ran your car into a ditch,
C
Man, don't sweat it
G
I know Ben
D7
Down at the Shell station
G | |
And he'll get it out
D7 C
Alice, put your ashes in that ashtray
G | |
I swear woman,
D
You're gonna burn down the house

She's drunk all the time
