I'm walkin´down the road
A bottle of whisky in my hand
I´m walkin´down the road
With the bottle in my hand
A thing that makes me happy
that you won´t understand

I´m stumblin´along
with a hot sun over me
I´m stumblin´along
with a hot sun over me
I´m heading for the shadow
under this mighty tree

Lookin´deep down in the bottle
while the sun is goin´down
Lookin´deep down in the bottle
while the sun is goin´down
I´m anything but sober
while I´m happy as a clown

A bottle lies there empty
I'm thinkin' about you
The bottle is empty
I'm thinkin' about you
You left me for another
some seven years ago

I´m fallin´ asleep
under the pale moonlight
I´m fallin´asleep
under the pale moonlight
In the middle of the night
an angel comes in sight

A priest at my funeral
a quier sings there too
A priest at my funeral
A quier sings there too
The benches are all empty
without a sign of you

Outside the Pearly gate
With st Peter by my side
Outside the Pearly gate
With st.Peter by my side
He says that when I'm sober
He'll let me inside
