'Pour A Little Poison'
I went out to make some money ‘cause I've got no shame
Pour a little poison on my good name
Down to Carolina through the pouring rain
Pour a little poison on my good name
Just pour a little poison on my good name
Well, the rain came down and it soaked my shoes
I'm just a whiny little English boy singing the blues
I've got a head filled up with problems that I ain't gonna fix
When I'm staring at the walls inside the Motel 6
And I'm storming into Georgia like a midnight train
Pour a little poison on my good name
Maryland will never take me back again
Pour a little poison on my good name
Just pour a little poison on my good name
Well, the rain keeps falling everywhere I go
I got nobody but the voices on my radio
I shake the dust off every little sleepy southern town
And I'll be crying like a loser when the sun goes down
Well, it's all that I can do to try to get home sane
Pour a little poison on my good name
Tonight another dozen they'll be glad I came
Pour a little poison on my good name
Just pour a little poison on my good name
Well, the rain came down and it soaked my shoes
I'm just a whiny little English boy singing the blues
I've got a head filled up with problems that I ain't gonna fix
When I'm staring at the walls inside the Motel 6
I went out to make some money ‘cause I’ve got no shame
Pour a little poison on my good name
Down to Carolina through the pouring rain
Pour a little poison on my good name
Just pour a little poison on my good name
Just pour a little poison on my good name
Just pour a little poison on my good name
Just pour a little poison on my good name
'The Ballad Of Miss Lily'
Well, there never was a girl like Lily
She was a pretty little heartbreak machine
She had a way to part a fool and his money
She was a lucky little gambler’s dream
Yeah, and she promised up the world and whatever
And she could get a man to do anything
And by the morning he’d be cleaned out and crawling on his knees
But every night you’ll hear some poor fool sing
He said: “I may not be a rich man, baby
Oh, but I tell you what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna take you out tonight in the city
I’m gonna spend all my money on you”
She’d take a seat up at the bar around seven
And wait for some poor sucker stumbling by
Yeah, and then she’d pull him in and drag him on under
And she’d drown him in those big, dark eyes
And with the moonlight breaking through a little crack in the sky
Well, he was broken and the damage was done
He’d give up everything he had for a love that could never be
Yeah, he’d be screaming at the top of his lungs
He said: “I may not be a rich man, baby
Oh, but I tell you what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna take you out tonight in the city
I’m gonna spend all my money on you”
One day there came into town some kind of big shot man
I went out to make some money ‘cause I've got no shame
Pour a little poison on my good name
Down to Carolina through the pouring rain
Pour a little poison on my good name
Just pour a little poison on my good name
Well, the rain came down and it soaked my shoes
I'm just a whiny little English boy singing the blues
