Blues in the bottle, blues in the bottle
D
Stopper's in my hand, pretty mama
G                                    D
Blues in the bottle, stopper's in my hand
A                                            D
I'm lookin' for a woman / who's lookin for a man

Go dig your taters, go dig your taters
It's tater diggin' time, pretty mama
Dig your taters, it's tater diggin' time
Old man Jack Frost done / gone an' killed your vine


Goin' to Chattanoogie, goin' to Chattanoogie
See my ponies run, pretty mama
Goin' to Chattanoogie to see my ponies run
And if I win some money / I'll give my baby some 

Rooster chews tobacco, rooster chews tobacco
And the hen uses snuff, pretty mama
Rooster chews tobacco and the hen uses snuff
The little chickens don't use nothin' / they just strut their stuff 


I asked my baby, asked my baby
Could she stand to see me cry, pretty mama
I asked my baby could she stand to see me cry
She said, oh, big daddy / I could stand to see you die

Blues in the bottle, blues in the bottle
Stopper's in my hand, pretty mama
Blues in the bottle, stopper's in my hand
I'm lookin' for a woman / who's lookin for a man
