Country Blues

from Farewell Virginia by Fast Heart Mart

/

lyrics

Come all you good time people,
While I have money to spend,
Tomorrow might be Monday
And I’ll neither have a dollar nor a friend.

Last time I seen my little woman, good people,
She had a wine glass in her hand,
She's a drinking down her trouble
With a low-down sorry man.

Oh my mama taught me a-plenty, good people,
My daddy told me more.
Said “son if you don’t quit your drinkin’
I'd have trouble at your door.”

At the bottom of a whisky glass,
The lurking devil dwells.
It’ll heat your breast to drink it, boys;
It'll send your soul to Hell.

If you don't quit your drinkin’ boys
You'll end up just like me;
Working out your days and living
In this penitentiary.

All around this old jailhouse is haunted good people,
Forty dollars won't pay my fine.
Corn whisky has surrounded my body, poor boy,
Pretty women is a-troubling my mind.
