Backslider's Wine

Backslider's Wine - Michael Murphy
(orig version from Geronimo's Cadillac, 1972)

As the rain ruins my alibi,
I'm down to tellin' you my red-eyed mind.
It's not the sun bright path,
that called me from my home.
It's just that fine Backslider's wine...

My momma sings out in my memory.
Son, don't take that black eyed shine.
Fight for your rights,
but don't fight for right.
It will escape the purest mind...

But I took myself for a strong and loving soul,
'Til I found myself on a bar room floor.
Crying God, what will they do with me?
I cannot drink Backslider's wine no more.

My momma sings out in my memory.
Oh son, don't take that black eyed shine.
Fight for your rights,
but, son don't fight for rights.
Do not drink Backslider's wine.

Do not drink Backslider's wine...
