Beggar's Oil (Band Arrangement) |
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 |
