"Bar Room Drinking" lyrics - JOHN LEE HOOKER

Oh darlin', you so good, you're good for me
When you, first met me, first me
Drinkin' was my pastime
In bar room, bar room was my home, was my home
Oh darlin' you come along
You pick me up, you know you
The best thing, the best thing,
I ever had, I ever had, I ever had
Oh darling, oh, oh darling
You're the best thing I ever had
You're good for me, you're good for me
I was drinking, I was drinking, I was drinking, my life away
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know, didn't know what to do
I took drinking, drinking for a pass time
And bar room, bar room, I made it my home, yes I did
Oh hear me out now

Sometimes I get lonely
I go to my neighbourhood, my neighbourhood, my neighbourhood bar
Sit there and drink and drink, passing way time
For the pass time honey, I was so lonely, 'til you come along
You were the best thing darlin', the best thing, I ever had
I, I wanna thank you for it
Have mercy, drinkin' in bar rooms
You're my only hope, to pass time
