Six strings and a jug of whiskey Is all I have Six strings and a jug of whiskey More than I had My heart, my soul, my thing She didn't bring me a thing So I got six strings And a jug of whiskey All I have Six strings and a jug of whiskey And it's kind of sad She took my wedding ring My kid, my bed, my paycheck The kitchen sink I mean everything Now I've six strings and a jug of whiskey Is all I have Six strings and a jug of whiskey 's why I'm so sad
