Beggar's Oil |
| All that men will need |
| A filthy boy in a bowery lane |
| Under the times in a drowning rain |
| Stealing bits of sleep again |
| Has heard this comon creed |
| Grows into the tallest tree |
| To cool down the sinner’s heat |
| I know this man, he’s much like I |
| A doubter’s cusp, a braggart’s pyre |
| Sweltering in brandy-mire |
| And selling bitter meat |
| Exemplary of faith I guess |
| Starts with naught but soil |
| Upon the shoes of wayward men |
| Ministers will not befriend |
| Smite the temple yet again |
| Spill their precious oil |
| I’ve thrown my seed out the window |
| Down in the dirt below |
| I’ll water it with my distrust |
| My blatant well-worn rough-hewn crust |
| I’ll mojo it with voodoo dust |
| And pray that it will grow |
