I strolled in a bar downtown to lose my blues Rest my weary feet, dust my shoes Asked the bartender there, "Please, Give me one large gla** of ruby wine." Seemed like a movie scene out of the West Walls made of paper card false like the rest Still the wine seemed real cheap At one dollar a gla** in nobody's bar Now here come the sherief's man, gun in his hand Seeing him stand there, 'lone, drinking At one dollar a gla** in nobody's bar Endless faces now, swimming around Eyes without vision, ears without sound To and fro they stand before me A vision of heaven without Jesus there Easy young woman got nothing to give Only her body to bargain with "Hey sweet boy, won't you buy me Just one large gla** of ruby wine" ( undeciphered) I'm going home Tired of rolling on like a stone Hey I lost my mind drinking At one dollar a gla** in nobody's bar
