Jerry Lee Lewis — It Was the Whiskey Talkin Not Me

Ah whiskey!!! Last night we had a date, we stayed out late I bought round after round And just for you I played the fool Yes, I was quite the clown Words were spoken, hearts were broken But now I hope you see It was the whiskey talkin', not me I didn't mean to make a scene It's really not my style I raised some Cain and called some names I guess I got myself a little wild If I brag too loud and act too proud Don't blame old Jerry Lee It was the whiskey talkin', not me I had myself a little splash I said, "You no good piece of trash" Shot my mouth all through the night Oh Lord, my bark's bigger than my bite If lies were told, if I was bold Don't take it personally It was the whiskey talkin', not me Play it, son! At the bar I bucked and roared I picked a fight and I got floored I had a shot, got plumb insane Took everybody's name in vain But all that stuff is just a bluff I wouldn't hurt a flea It was the whiskey talking, not me Here we go, baby! Hang onto my shirt tail! I wanna hear some fiddle, son, play it! [?] The old devil makes me do some things It takes a lot of nerve How could I sass a gal like you You're more than I deserve Don't you get upset and please accept Ol' Killer's apology It was the whiskey talking, not me Head up with some more moonshine My mouth was workin' overtime Just lettin' off a little steam I ain't the Killer that I seem Sometimes I'm strange, I might change You got my guarantee It was the whiskey talkin', not me Yes, that old whiskey talkin', not me Gimme a drink, baby
