Ministers of religion have visited
me
Many times to talk about it
They say to me I gotta leave it, I gotta leave it
It's a bad habit for a man
But when I try to leave it my friends keep telling me
I'm a fool amongst fools
(Chorus)
Now I'm a slave, a slave, I'm a slave
I'm a liquor slave
I'm a slave, a slave, slave, I'm a slave
Just a liquor slave
I have lost my dignity I had before
Trying to please everybody
Some say to me yo yo I look better when I'm drunk
Some say no no no I look bad you know
Sometimes I cry, I cry but my crying never helps me none
(Chorus)
'Cause now I am a slave, a slave, I'm a slave
Just a liquor slave
I am a slave, a prisoner, I'm a slave
Just a liquor slave
Every night when I'm coming back home
My wife gets worried 'cause she knows
She's got double trouble coming home
Sometimes I cry, I cry Lord I cry
But my crying never helps me
(Repeat Chorus till fade)
