Ernest Tubb - The Bottle Let Me Down

[michaelfred]

Watched him on TV in the 40’s and 50’s and 60’s. He was different and that’s why I liked him. Still do!

One of the greatest country voices ever

I love his phrasing and voice. He’s my favorite country artist. 🙂

Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I've been turnin' every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurtin' in an old familiar way
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Tonight the bottle let me down

Yeh, when alcohol was not considered to be a drug.
God bless bourbon.

Wonder how many times this was played in smoky honky tonk bars?
