Well now one day in the afternoon
D7
My folks were away for awhile
G
Yeah I got the jug down from the shelf
D7 G
To see what made 'em smile
N.C.
Now I slowly sipped and I nearly flipped
D7
That one drink was enough
G
For the life of me I just can't see

Why they love that awful stuff

Well as I grew older I thought about
D7
That first sip that I had
G
Yeah I really burned and soon I learned

It wasn't all that bad
