Intoxicated Rat - Doc Watson

Written by：Dorsey Dixon/Mainer

The other night when I come in

So drunk I couldn't see

I hooked my toe in the old doormat

Fell as flat as I could be

I had me a little old bottle oh booze

And I didn't have no more

When I fell down

The cork flew outta the bottle

There's a little old rat in his hiding place

He got that whiskey scent

He slipped right up

And he got him a

And back to his hole he went

Says back to his hole he went

Back to his hole he went

He slipped right up

And he got him a

He's drinking it all

And back to his hole he went

He slipped right up to my puddle o'gin

And he lapped up more and more

He says dog gone my red eyed soul

I'm a gonna get drunk once more

I gonna get drunk once more

I'm a gonna get drunk once more

He says dog gone my red eyed soul

I'm a gonna get drunk once more

He washed his face with his front paws

And on his hind leg he sat

And he's a getting pretty high

When he winked one eye and he says

Hey where's that old tom cat

Now where's that old tom cat

I said where's that old tom cat

He's a getting high

When he winked one eye and he says

Hey buddy where's that old tom cat

I can lick him and his brother

The old tom cat come a slipping in

Dashed over to the middle at the floor

The cat jumped over and the rat got sober

And he never got drunk no more

He didn't get drunk no more

No he never got drunk no more

The cat jumped over

And the rat got sober

Poor little feller

And he never got dunk
