Rory Gallagher Lyrics - Too Much Alcohol
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
I told the man to put in some water
But he wouldn't put any drop at all

I was drinking my straight alky
And I went walking on down the street
Well, I was drinking my straight alky
And I went walking on down the street
Well, my eyes got so heavy
I nearly fell half asleep

Well, I like cherry and brandy
My baby sure likes gin
That little girl I got sure put me in the
The spin I'm in
Well, I went down on 31st Street
To pick up a jug of alcohol
I told the man to put in some water
But he wouldn't put any drop at all

The whiskey makes you drowsy
And gin can make you think
While the common cold could kill you
But my baby turned me to drink
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 any drop at all
One hundred percent alcohol, let me have some

Well, I like cherry and brandy
My baby sure likes gin
That little girl I got sure put me in
The spin I'm in
On 31st Street
Picked up, picked up a jug of alcohol, yeah, yeah
I told the man to put in some water
But he wouldn't put any drop at all

Ninety-one percent, but I'll make it ninety-two
Ninety-three percent, ninety-four that'll do
Ninety-five, ninety-six
Ninety-seven percent, ninety-eight
Bartender that's ninety-nine
Make it one hundred percent
One hundred percent, one hundred percent
Wanna try some, wanna try some
One hundred percent and I won't feel no pain at all
