[00:00.00] Ministers of religion
[00:34.14]have visited me  many times
[00:37.92]to talk about it
[00:40.20]They say to me
[00:43.71]I gotta leave it  I gotta leave it
[00:47.85]It's a bad habit
[00:49.35]for a man
[00:51.21]But when I try  to leave it
[00:56.85]my friends keep telling me
[00:58.74]I'm a fool amongst fools
[01:01.38]Chorus:
[01:01.89]Now I'm a slave, a slave
[01:08.04]I'm a slave
[01:09.87]I'm  a liquor  slave
[01:13.08]I'm a slave, a slave, slave
[01:18.90]I'm a slave
[01:20.64]Just a liquor slave
[01:45.33]I have lost my dignity
[01:48.36]I had before  trying
[01:51.30]to please  everybody
[01:55.59]Some say to me
[01:57.03]yo yo
[01:59.37]I look better when I'm drunk
[02:01.38]Some say no no no
[02:03.24]I look bad you know
[02:06.42]Sometimes I cry
[02:10.32]I cry  but my crying
[02:13.56]never helps me none
[02:16.11]Chorus:
[02:16.44]'Cos now  I am a slave, a slave
[02:23.28]I'm a slave
[02:25.08]I'm  just a liquor slave
[02:28.05]I am a slave, a prisoner
[02:34.11]I'm a slave
[02:37.44]Just a liquor slave
[03:00.27]Every night when I'm
[03:02.34]coming back home
[03:04.35]My wife gets worried
[03:06.24]'cos she knows
[03:07.26]Shes got double trouble
[03:09.00]coming home
[03:10.77]Sometimes I cry
[03:12.69]I cry  lord I cry
[03:17.43]But  my crying
[03:19.17]never helps me
[03:30.18]Chorus: (till fade)
