HAVE A DRINK In 1880 down a dusty road Along came a minor with a big fat load He was caked in dirt from his head to his foot Hair so dirty that it looked like soot He reined in his mule and he hitched him to the rail And he says „hey feller it’s the end of the trail“ Then he wandered down to the old saloon He says „I know it’s early and it ain’t quite noon But hey hey everybody drink on me!“ Everybody! Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me Everybody have a drink on me Hey, hey everybody have a drink on me (repeat) I just got a letter from down in Tennesee It sayd my uncle died and left on oil well to me (hey, hey everybody drink on me) Been diggin’ all my life and I nearly got to hell But my uncle dug potatos and he struck an oil well (hey hey everybody drink on me) Chorus Well, black gold, yellow gold, guess it’s all the same Take my Tipp, give up the mining game (hey, hey everybody drink on me) Forget your shovel and your old long johns You can make a fortune singing Lonnie’s old songs (hey, hey everybody drink on me Chorus
