I'm the man on the mountain, come on up I'm the plowman in the valley with a face full of mud Yes, I'm fumbling and I know my car don't start Yes, I'm stumbling and I know I play a bad guitar Give me little drink From your loving cup Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk yeah I'm the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun I'm the man that brings you roses when you ain't got none Well I can run and jump and fish, but I won't fight You if you want to push and pull with me all night Give me little drink From you loving cup Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk yeah I feel so humble with you tonight Just sitting in front of the fire See your face dancing in the flame Feel your mouth kissing me again What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz Oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz Yes, I am nitty gritty and my shirt's all torn But I would love to spill the beans with you till dawn Give me little drink From your loving cup Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk Give me little drink Give me little drink Give me little drink Give me little drink Give me little drink Give me little drink (keep on lovin', keep on lovin') Give me little drink Give me little drink (let's slow it down baby) Give me little drink Give me little drink Give me little drink Give me little drink Give me little drink Give me little drink
