I've heard all your sad songs I can hear
The dew on the ground blankets the face
But don't drag me through this again
It's in with the whiskey and out with the gin
Cold was the night and gone her embrace
One foot here but sure the other's in the grave
I've heard all your sad songs I can hear
Danced to the mornin' she called out my name
Wash me down in all of your joy
The clock started tickin', where did the time go?
Walk away, watch me as I wave
I've heard all your sad songs I can hear
Her arms they caressed me, sweet was her brow
It's in with the whiskey and out with the gin
I've heard all your sad songs I can hear
She opened my eyes to banish the doubt
It's another day older in these exiled years
But don't drag me through this again
To rot in this jail of lost liberty
It's in with the whiskey and out with the gin
I've heard all your sad songs I can hear
Wash me down in all of your joy
Walk away, walk away
The wind was a howlin' and down came the rain
It's another day older in these exiled years
For your land of the free now prisons me
I whistle a tune I heard years before
I've heard all your sad songs I can hear
