In 1880 down a dusty road along came a miner with a big fat load
♪
He was caked in dirt from his head to his foot, his hair so black that it looked like soot
♪
Well he reined in his mule and he hitched him to the rail and he said,
Old fella, it's the end of the trail
♪
Well he ambled down to the old saloon, he said,
I know a filly and it ain't quite new
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Everybody have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Well, I just got a letter from down in Tennessee
It said my uncle died and left an oil well of me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
I've been digging all my life and I nearly got to hell
But my uncle took potatoes and he struck an oil well
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Well, now
Well, the black dog, yellow dog, this is all the same
Take my chicken, give up the mannequin
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Well, I sell your shovel and your old Long John's
You can make a fortune writing out of date songs
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
One more time
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me
Hey, hey, everybody drink on me
