[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

Sometimes I feel well

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]
