Backslider's Wine
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 mama sings out in my memory.
Son, don't take that black-eyed shine.
Fight for your rights.
but son, don't fight for right,
And do not drink Backslider's Wine
But I took myself for a kind and loving soul.
'Til I found my face on the bar room floor.
I was crying Jesus what have they done to me.
I cannot drink Backslider's Wine no more.
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.
