The Old Purple Tin (9% Pure Heaven) |
I lived with my momma, |
'Til I was sixteen. |
Old time religion, |
The sweetest of dreams. |
And now that I’m aging, |
And conscience is dim. |
In my left hand the Bible, |
In my right an old purple tin. |
I went to the doctors, |
'Cause I was unwell. |
He said «My Boy, |
You are shot to hell. |
I’m gonna write you a prescription, |
For some pure heroin». |
But I traded that sucker, |
For a 6 pack of that old purple tin. |
The old purple tin, |
The old purple tin. |
Sweet testament Lord, |
To the state that I’m in. |
I’ve drunk it all day, |
I have drunk it all night. |
The old purple tin, |
Oh Lord, lights up my life. |
I am in prison, |
The light never shines. |
I can’t see my Bible, |
So dark is the night. |
I’m waiting for letters, |
That never get sent. |
All my brothers and sisters, |
On the corner with that old purple tin. |
The old purple tin, |
The old purple tin. |
Sing it now |
Sweet testament Lord, |
Sweet 9% Lord |
To the state that I’m in. |
I have drunk it all day, |
I have drunk it all night. |
The old purple tin, |
Oh Lord, lights up my life. |
It lights up my life, |
It lights up my life, |
Lights up my life. |
Good night Larry. |
