every little bit hurts - barton carroll lyrics
that old drinking man living out on tatum’s land
well, i’ve known him in this town all my life
he sips away his days and he’s got a kindly way
and if you care to sit a spell, he will abide
i said, “you never looked much troubled
and the years are coming on
there must be some secret that you own.”
he said, “son, i never fight with old josé
you know i always hold out for patrón
so with a moment of your time
won’t you spare an old man a dime?
we’ll go down the liquor store
and we’ll go dancing though the door
because you know every little bit hurts.”
that ex girl of mine had me lovеsick all the time
oh boys, she was a bеauty in the day
and stolen from my arms by a man with vacant charm
and it didn’t take him long to fly away
two children at home, left to mind them on her own
now she’s downtown dancing on a pole
she said “it’s good to see you, hon
oh and didn’t we have some fun
back before we knew the ways of the world?
so you got a twenty*dollar bill for me?
i’m gonna make you the vip
and for old times’ sake
let’s go make the earth quake
because you know every little bit hurts.”
i went to see the preacher
and i told him where i’d been
i said “man, there is a sadness wide and deep.”
he said, “son, you best come down
and repent for all your sins
and the wicked company you keep
that strong drink will make you turn
and babylon will burn
and jezebel will tempt you from the truth.”
he said “leave it all behind
you gotta live for the next life
big daddy’s got his eye on you.”
i said “man, for what it’s worth
i’ll take my chances on this earth
that sounds more like a trap door than the word.”
on my way to his gate
i dropped a nickel in his plate
i said “you know every little bit hurts.”
