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
