Anyone know a blues song with these words as the kind of chorus part. It's sung by a man?

Thanks!

I know a song with the words "I ain't drunk, I'm just drinking". That's pretty close.

Erm, could you tell me what it is?

No. I can't remember who it was.

Wow, I didn't think of that.

Also, it sounds a bit like "The Walk" by Jimmy McCracklin.

Consensus seems to be it was Albert Collins.

or, the original by Jimmy Liggins: "I ain't drunk".

Fun tune, there's a version by Liggins on the Blue Note comps Jump Blue and Blue Series Sampler.
