Well I've been down on the row and I'm livin' so low |
|
(That) I'd sell you my britches fo' a nickel |
|
I done spent all my bread just to screw up my head |
|
An' that ol' reaper is comin' with his sickle |
|
I'd get down in the mud (just) for one little shot |
|
Trade you for a bottle everything I got |
|
It's the devil's own so brother take heed |
|
Don't go plantin' that ol' Whiskey Seed |
|
I don't know where I been ain't no where or no when |
|
And my liver's so bad I'm turnin' yellow |
|
Occupation's a bum an' (a) zero's my sum |
|
Got the D.T.'s so bad I look like Jell-O |
|
Well the gutter's my bed, the paper's my sheet |
|
You can find me lyin' out in the street |
|
It's the devil's own so brother take heed |
|
Don't go plantin' that ol' Whiskey Seed |
|
(Well) Now I'm feelin' so low I got nowhere to go |
|
If I found a big hole I think I'd crawl in |
|
And I wisht' I could hide 'cause it feels like I died |
|
And I hear that ol' bottle still a-callin' |
|
But I'm tryin' to find a way to get out |
|
Sometimes makes me want to jump and shout |
|
It's the devil's own so brother take heed |
|
Don't go plantin' that ol' Whiskey Seed |
