I've done a lot of laughingnA little bit of cryingnI've been a lot of placesnAnd made a mess of friendsnGot wedded to the whiskynShould've been a good womannIf I could re-live my daysnChanging my waysnI'd not touch' a drop againnnBy the devil I was temptednAnd many jugs I've emptiednI felt so rejectednI didn't wanna go astraynHalf my life has been awastednBy the booze I've tastednBut the demon I have faced itnAnd sent him on his waynnI hope I'll be forgivennFor all my bad livin'nI had to make some changesn'Fore he got me in the endnNow I've got a pretty womannShe gives me good lovin'nI can 't re-live all my days in a different waynBut I won't go astray againnnBy the devil I was temptednAnd many jugs I've emptiednI felt so rejectednI didn't wanna go astraynHalf my life has been awastednBy the booze I've tastednBut the demon I have faced itnAnd sent him on his way
