"Hittin' The Bottle Again" lyrics - JOHN LEE HOOKER

Hittin' the bottle again
Hitting the bottle again
Doin' everything the doctor told me not to do

"Johnny, Don't drink no more,
It ain't good for you"
Hittin' the bottle again
Woman gone and left me,
I can't help myself
Downin' 'bout a quart a day,
Hittin' the bottle again
Daylight find me drinking,
Midnight find me drinking too
Ever' saloon in town,
I'll be hittin' them fast an' fast
Drinking every night

Bar room, bar room, bar room, is my home
Since she's been gone
Hittin' the bottle again
Hittin' the bottle again
Hittin' the bottle again
Ever since she's been gone

Downin' a quart a day
Doctor told me don't drink no more
Doin' everything the doctor told me not to do
Downin' 'bout a quart a day
Hittin' the bottle again
