Gerry Rafferty - One Drink Down lyrics

I took myself one Friday evening

To think on a son so deceiving

It's one drink down and another to go

He was married in haste to a woman unchaste

Much to the shame of the father

His face still half-covered in lather

It's one drink down and another to go

It's one drink down and another to go

When I pass through the town I must hang my head low

It's one drink down and another to go

I'm not the kind to condemn out of hand

A woman whose virtue is easy

Just as long as she doesn't deceive me

It's one drink down and another to go

Imagine a life with an unfaithful wife

Might wake up in the morning

And find that she's left without warning

It's one drink down and another to go
