That Woman's Got Me Drinking
(Shane MacGowan)
For seven long years she helped me spend my dough
Now I take her out but she don't wanna know

That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin

That woman's got me drinking we used to have some fun
Now shrinks and astrologers have got me on the run

That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin

She said she'd always love me, she said I'd be the one
Now look at the way she treats me, just like a piece of scum

That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin

If I had the guts to do it I'd take a long goodbye
Instead I'll love her long and hard and love her 'til I die

That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin

Bottles of gin, bottles of gin, bottles of gin,
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten bottles of gin
