So he'de stop down by the bar along the way.
Got to thinking bout his job..said some ripple would cheer him up!
But then he'de drank that ole English that brought him down.
(That ole English that brought him down!)
Tried to drown out his working sorrows, was sure 50 proof would do!
What Oh what could my daddy do...bout those working man blues?
Dont daddy dont daddy dont,
(Put That Dirty Glass Down!)
Dont daddy dont daddy dont
(Put That Dirty Glass Down!)

But My momma, my momma would never approach him said..
She said "Jonny Walkers Been There!"
(Jonny Walkers Been There!)
She'de give daddy some time to unwind
then slowly.Slowly slowly, seemed it was dinner time.
(Dinner Time, Dinner Time!)

Dont you drink that dirty water. So put that Dirty Glas Down!
