(Verse)
Well, I ain't had a job in 6 months and a day,
And I've spent all the money that I've tried to put away.
Now I've never found comfort in money, jewels, or gold,
But I've got this whiskey bottle to have and hold.

(Chorus)
I'll go down, down, down into a sea of whiskey,
Yeah, I'll drown, drown, drown
Till the day that you miss me.
Oh, I'll drink a-way my sins and sorrows
As this whiskey goes down, soon I'll follow
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
I'll go down in the Sea of Whiskey

(Verse)
It's a lone-ly world - corn whiskey's all I've got.
And I'm very good friends with every bottle, still, and pot.
Most people that I meet, they leave me all alone.
No one to call my family, nowhere to call my home.

(Chorus)
I'll go down, down, down into a sea of whiskey,
Yeah, I'll drown, drown, drown
Till the day that you miss me.
Oh, I'll drink a-way my sins and sorrows
As this whiskey goes down, soon I'll follow
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
I'll go down in the Sea of Whiskey

(Verse)
Now all you folks please listen to my tale
Be careful with that liquor or your life will be on the rails
It's too late for me, and I can’t help but cry
I'll keep drinking this whiskey till the day that I die

(Chorus)
I'll go down, down, down into a sea of whiskey,
Yeah, I'll drown, drown, drown
Till the day that you miss me.
Oh, I'll drink a-way my sins and sorrows
As this whiskey goes down, soon I'll follow
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
I'll go down in the Sea of Whiskey

I'll go down, down, down into a sea of whiskey,
Yeah, I'll drown, drown, drown
Till the day that you miss me.
Oh, I'll drink a-way my sins and sorrows
As this whiskey goes down, soon I'll follow
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
I'll go down in the Sea of...
down in the sea of...
down in the sea of Whiskey...
