1. Tell my mama and tell my pa
Gmi B Dmi
That their fine young son didn't get far
F C Dmi
He made it to the end of a bottle
Gmi B Dmi
Sitting in a sleazy bar
He tried hard but his spirit broke
He tried until he nearly choked
In the end he lost his ball
Bottle drinking alcohol
R: I've got to give it up...
2. Tell my brother I tried to write and
Put pen to paper but I was frightened
I couldn't seem to get the words out right
Right quite right
Tell my sister I'm sinking slow
Now and again I powder my nose
In the end I lost my bottle
It smashed in a casbah
R: I've got to give it up...

3. I've been messing with the heavy stuff
For a time I couldn't get enough
But I'm waking up and it's wearing off
Junk don't take you far
Tell my Mama I'm coming home
In my youth I'm getting older
And I think it's lost control
Mama I'm coming home
R: I've got to give it up...
