She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette she broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget he finally drank his pain away a little at a time but he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind until that night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger and that finally chased her memory away life is short but this time it was bigger ya the strength he had to get up off his knees we found him with his face down in the pillow with a note that said I'll love her til I die we burried him beneath the willow while the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself for years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath she finally drank her pain away a little at a time but she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind

Until the night she put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger and that finally chased away his memory life was short but this time it was bigger ya the strength she had to get up off her knees we found her with her face down in the pillow clingy to his picture for dear life we placed her next to him beneath the willow while the angels sang a whiskey lullaby lullaby lullaby

Lullaby lullaby
