Charlie Camp songs

I thought I'd do just an acoustic version of this oldie.

Bottle and a Barstool

The blues'll come a creepin round a fickle fool

I’m sunk so low I need a taller stool

Cause just like that, she up and walked away

She’s just another woman and I know it’s true,

She isn’t half as pretty as the likes of you

I got this bottle o’ wine and I’m hopin’ you will stay

chorus:

Bottle and the barstool

Can’t tell a saint from a love-sick fool

They’ll listen, but won’t answer either way

Pinball and the jukebox

Can’t judge a man by the coins he drops

They’re talkin’, but ain’t got much to say

(well) I’d give you my number but I just can’t win,

there ain’t no phone in a bottle o’ gin,

but I’ll call you up if you can spare the time

When a man is down, I mean really low,

The blues’ll come and get you anywhere you go

But you’ve got yours and baby I got mine

There’s a leak in the roof right above my bed

And the rain comes a drippin’ on my head

But, just for now, the stars are shinin’ bright

And on the side of the bed where she used to sleep,

There’s stains on the pillow from the tears I weep

But please don’t go, won’t you stay with me tonight?
