NECTAR OF GOD
(Patrick Sky)

Its a dirty old world, It'll make a man cry
All the do-nothings live, God a-mighty now
And the good people die.

When I left home my mother said "Son
"Go into the world" God a-mighty now
"But don't you go wrong."

So here I sit in a world without pain
While the nectar of God, God a-mighty now
It flows in my veins.

Late in the evening, and early in the morn
The Mist on Dog Mountain hangs low
And the voice of my mother comes in on the down-wind
Sayin' "Son, don't stay too long."

Yes the green leaves of autumn they fall from the floor
And the inside is outside, God a-mighty now
And I can't find the door.

Got the blues in my coffee, I got the blues in my head
If I died in the gutter, God a-mighty now Well at least I'd be dead

When you ask "What's the blues?" well I'll tell you if I can
That's a ten dollar woman, God a-mighty now
And a five dollar man.

Well, I don't like livin' but I don't want to die
'Cause if I was dead, God a-mighty now
Well--- I'd miss gettin' high.

Late in the evening, and early in the morn
The Mist on Dog Mountain hangs low
And the voice of my mother comes in on the down-wind
Sayin' "Son, don't stay too long."
