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
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
'Cos now I am a slave, a slave I'm a slave I'm 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 'Cos she knows Shes got double trouble Coming home Sometimes I cry I cry lord I cry But my crying Never helps me
