Love Is like Whiskey

Lament over Love 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. 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. My true love’s left me And I’m goin’ there to think about him. Love is like whiskey, Love is like red, red wine. Love is like whiskey, Love is sweet red wine. If you want to be happy You got to love all the time. I’m goin’ up in a tower Tall as a tree is tall, Up in a tower Tall as a tree is tall. Gonna think about my man— And let my fool-self fall.
