Bert Jansch
Nobody's Bar
I strolled in a bar downtown to lose my bluesRest my weary feet, dust my shoesAsked the bartender there, "Please,Give me one large glass of ruby wine."Seemed like a movie scene out of the WestWalls made of paper card false like the restStill the wine seemed real cheapAt one dollar a glass in nobody's barNow here come the sherief's man, gun in his handSeeing him stand there, 'lone, drinkingAt one dollar a glass in nobody's barEndless faces now, swimming aroundEyes without vision, ears without soundTo and fro they stand before meA vision of heaven without Jesus thereEasy young woman got nothing to giveOnly her body to bargain with"Hey sweet boy, won't you buy meJust one large glass of ruby wine"[undeciphered] I'm going homeTired of rolling on like a stoneHey I lost my mind drinkingAt one dollar a glass in nobody's bar
