[Chorus]
    G           D
Sometimes I'm alright
        G                     C
And sometimes I get you on my mind
    G
But other times 
D       C     G        D
  All I do is cry -- I cry 
    G            D
Sometimes I feel well
        G                        C
And sometimes oh honey I feel so swell
    G
But other times 
D            C         G            D
   Oh lord I feel like hell -- like hell
 
[Verse 1]
G                  B7
I moved on about a month ago 
C                      C7
I picked my bags and I hit the road
       G
I said bye bye baby might
D                  G    D7
See you some sweet day
          G                  B7
She cried big sour tears and closed her door
     C                         C7
After these tears fall I won't see you no more
               G             D               G   D7
Said don't you leave a thing to remember you by
 
[Chorus]
    G           D
Sometimes I'm alright
        G                     C
And sometimes I get you on my mind
    G
But other times 
D       C     G        D
  All I do is cry -- I cry 
    G            D
Sometimes I feel well
        G                        C
And sometimes oh honey I feel so swell
    G
But other times 
D             C         G            D
   Oh honey I feel like hell -- like hell

[Verse 2]
           G
She was my watermelon woman
   B7
My cornbread queen 
  C                         C7
I met that gal when she was just 19
       G              D                G    D7
I said whoo wee Momma she's a thing to see
G                           B7
We stayed out all night and fought like dogs
   C                   C7
We drank like fish and loved like hogs
       G               D            G     D7
What a trial of a life for a man to live
 
[Chorus]
    G           D
Sometimes I'm alright
        G                     C
And sometimes I get you on my mind
    G
But other times 
D       C     G        D
  All I do is cry -- I cry 
    G            D
Sometimes I feel well
        G                        C
And sometimes oh honey I feel so swell
    G
But other times 
D            C         G            D
   Oh lord I feel like hell -- like hell
 
[Verse 3]
     G
Some nights that are alone
B7
And mostly I don't mind
C                            C7
Except every now and then at closing time
G
There's a sweet memory 
D                   G     D7
At the bottom of my glass
G                              B7
I feel it fall to my belly and rise to my heart
   C                   C7
It hits my head when I leave the bar
           G                 D             G    D7
And it's a long long walk... and I take my time
 
[Chorus]
    G           D
Sometimes I'm alright
        G                     C
And sometimes I get you on my mind
    G
But other times 
D       C     G        D
  All I do is cry -- I cry 
    G            D
Sometimes I feel well
        G                       C
And sometimes oh lord I feel so swell
    G
But other times 
D            C         G       D  G
   Oh lord I feel like hell...
              [Chorus:]
Sometimes I'm alright
And sometimes I get you off my mind
But other times all I do is cry, I cry
Sometimes I feel well
And sometimes, oh honey, I feel so swell
But other times, oh I feel like hell, like hell

I moved on about a month ago
I packed my bags and I hit the road
I said "bye-bye, baby
Might see you some sweet day"
She cried big sour tears and closed the door
After these tears fall I won't see you no more
Said, don't leave a thing to remember you by

[Chorus]

She was my watermelon woman
My cornbread queen
I met that gal when she was just nineteen
I said oo-wee mama, she's a thing to see
We stayed out all night and fought dogs
We drank like fish and loved like hogs
What a trifle of a life for a man to live

[Chorus]

So now I sit alone and mosey out of mind
Except every now and then at closing time
There's a sweet memory at the bottom of my gla**
I feel it fall to belly and rise to my heart
It hits my head when I leave the bar
It's a long, long walk
And I take my time

[Chorus]
