It's a dirty old world it'll make a man cry All the do-nothings live, God almight 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 Well it flows through my veins.
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 Well it flows through my veins. Late in the evening, and early in the morn 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. Yes, the green leaves of Autumn, they fall to the floor And the inside is outside, God almighty now And I can't find the door. Well, you ask what's the blues, well I'll tell you if I can It's a ten dollar woman, God almighty now And a five dollar man. Got the blues in my coffee, I got the blues in my head If I die in the gutter, God almighty now Well, at least I'll be dead. Well, I don't like living, but I don't wanna die 'Cos if I was dead, God almighty now Well, I'd miss getting high.
