Whiskey and Wimmen Lyrics

Whiskey and Wimmen - John Lee Hooker
the blues line is not quite standard 12 bar blues, the lyrics are, just not the music.
1+2+34+12+3a4
Verse# --see message at bottom
Whiskey and Wimmin almost wrecked my life
Whiskey and wimmin almost wrecked my life
Werent for whiskey and wimmin, i have money today (play *Tag*)
Nightlife Nightlife Nightlife
aint no good aint no good for me
I had a good start but wimmin and whiskey tore it down
Whiskey and Wimmin aint no good for me
Whiskey and wimmin aint no good aint no good for me
I had a lot of money, and big fine car, but i lost everything i had
aw i did
during the end part here, hit
I had a lot of money at one time but nightlife, and whiskey wrecked my life.
#to make it sound better, you could play it as a standard blues, 12 bar progression. The
appears to be playing a regular blues underneath what the guitar does. The recording I
is somewhat muddy in terms of that, but this is what it sounds like to me.
