Tin Cup
lady blue in the corner booth
above the empty jar
i have found
you hanging 'round
every lonely bar
you're all done
with the morning sun
and do not even know
you could not get
the feel for it
and had to let it go
all your street signs lead me to nowherefast
but tempt me to begin
still i hate to give
my table up
to the other men coming in
they'd take their business elsewhere
if i told them
what i know
they should not get
the feel for it
and ought to let it go
are you midnight sunlight streaming in
or dice games on the ground?
would you take the silver
from my mouth
and have it melted down?
sure, your market place was steaming
when i needed something slow
i could not get
the feel for it
and had to let it go
you'll never get none of your happiness
from hands across guitars
no, but only tin cups
wearing out
clanging across your bars
i do believe
the ragged weed
is better than the row
i would not get the feel for it
and have to let it go
i would not get the feel for it
and have to let it go
The Frieze of Toyen
Won't you sit down and talk to me, friend?
Won't you sit down and talk to me, friend?
I've a handle of liquor whose life we could end.
Won't you sit down and talk to me, friend?
I just swim in this bottle of mine.
I just swim in this bottle of mine,
'cause I hear at the bottom's one hell of a time.
I just swim in this bottle of mine.
Hard times, don't you come around here no more!
You've broken the windows and kicked down the doors.
You've forced me to burn all the shingles and floors.
Now the fire has burned out,
and I have been turned out,
and my body ain't young anymore.
Won't you spend just a little more time?
Won't you spend just a little more time?
'Cause those good-timin' women went and took all of mine.
Won't you spend just a little more time?
