Backslider's Wine |
| As the rain ruins my alibi |
| I’m down to singin' you my red-eyed Rhyme |
| It’s not the sun bright path |
| That called me from my home |
| It’s just that fine Backslider’s wine |
| My momma calls out in my memory |
| Sayin' son, don’t wear no black eyed shine |
| Fight for your rights |
| But, son don’t just fight for right |
| And do not drink Backslider’s wine |
| But I took myself for a kind and loving soul |
| 'Til I found my self, face down on the bar room floor |
| I cried my God, what have they done to me |
| I cannot drink Backslider’s wine no more |
| My momma calls out in my memory |
| Son, don’t wear no black eyed shine |
| Fight for your rights |
| But, son don’t just fight for right |
| And do not drink Backslider’s wine |
| As the rain ruins my alibi |
| I’m down to singin' you my red-eyed rhyme |
| It’s not the sun bright path |
| That called me from my home |
| It’s just that fine Backslider’s wine |
