  It's a dirty old world it'll make a man cry

.....................

  All the do-nothings live....God almighty now

....................

  ... {

  }

And the good people die

When I left home my mother said son

Go into the world...God almighty now

But don't you go wrong

So here I sit in a world without pain

While the nectar of God.....God almighty now

Flows through my veins

  ** Late in the evening, Early in the Fall

................

  The mist on Dog Mountain hangs low

....................

  And the voice of my mother

.................

  Rides in on the down wind

.......

  ... {

  }

Sayin' son, Don't stay too long

The green leaves of Autumn they fall from the floor

And the inside is outside...God almighty now

And I can't find the door

Well you ask what's the blues, I'll tell ya if I can

It's a ten dollar women...God almighty now

And a five dollar man

Got the blues in my coffee got the blues in my head

If I die in the gutter....God almighty now

At least I'd be dead

I don't much like livin' but I don't wanna die

Cuz if I was dead....God almighty now

I'd miss gettin' high
