Distillery Blues Lyrics

Your picture's on the mantelpiece

But when I go to bed

I still can't get you from my mind

Your picture's in my head

I dream about you through the night

And wake without you near

I feel like shouting "I love you"

I know you will not hear

Ain't you heard the latest news

I'm a-suffering from the distillery blues

Had too many a drunken day

So the girl of my dreams has gone away, she's gone away

I often think about the days

When we were both together

And wish they would return again

And stay with us forever

But I know it's not to be

It breaks my heart to say

I made too many bad mistakes

And this is how I pay

Ain't you heard the latest news

I'm a-suffering from the distillery blues

Had too many a drunken day

So the girl of my dreams has gone away, she's gone away

So here I am without you

As empty as my glass

Alone with my whisky bottle

And my memories of our past

Ain't you heard the latest news

I'm a-suffering from the distillery blues

Had too many a drunken day

So the girl of my dreams she's gone away, she's gone away
