the schomberg fair - drunkard's prayer lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
my mother, sweet mother, don’t worry for me
i’ve been talking to the man from galilee
“lord loves a drunkard”, i heard him say
with every breath evoke his name

well i don’t know his christian name
a ten dollar bill, because he won’t take change
that ten dollars won’t get me home
get me outta here for an hour or so

it seems like nothing can stop this rain
a whole lotta thunder and it squeals like a train
ol’ jimmy red didn’t watch his door
they took him up to heaven, i suppose

[chorus]

five drinking songs, a couple of hymns
a sideways glance and a cigarette grin
shelter bed crawling with bugs
and the rain that pours [is] running through his blood

i used to have a woman that cared for me
now i wash my wounds out with gasoline
parents unhand[ed] me and then left me a soul
i’m still that man who was long ago

[chorus]

i’m outta breath from the time i wake
but i got it in my lungs, still dig my grave
how could the devil slip out my door?
i’m gettin’ too old to hustle anymore

so lift my burden and lift my pain
lift me up to see those that love again
lift my breath up through your gates
with every breath evoke his name

[chorus x3]
