| Whiskey Lullabye |
| Malonie Cannon |
| She put him out... like the burning end of a midnight cigarette |
| She broke his heart... he spent his whole life trying to forget |
| We watched him drink away his pain a little at a time |
| But he never could get drunk enough.. to get her off his mind |
| Till the night |
| He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger |
| And he finally blew away her memory |
| ...Life is short, ...but this time it was bigger |
| Than the strength he had to get up off his knees |
| We found him with his face down.. in the pillow |
| With a note that said “I’ll* love her till I die” |
| And when they buried him beneath the willow |
| The angels sang a whiskey lullaby |
| La-la-la-la……….. |
| The rumors flew... but nobody knew just how she blamed herself |
| For years and years...she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath |
| She finally drank away her pain a little at a time |
| But she never could get drunk enough... to get him off her mind |
| Till the night |
| She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger |
| And she finally blew away his memory |
| ...Life is short,.. but this time it was bigger |
| Than the strength she had to get up off her knees |
| ...They found her with her face down in the pillow |
| Clinging to his picture for dear life |
| They laid her next to him beneath the willow |
| And the angels sang a whiskey lullaby |
| La-la-la-la………… |
