Backsliders Wine

D             G 
As the rain ruins my alibi 
    C                               G 
I'm down to tellin' you my red-eyed mind 
             C 
It's not the sun bright path 
               G  
That called me from my home 
               F C                 G   
It's just that fine   Backslider's wine 

         D               G 
My momma sings out in my memory 
              C                  G 
Oh Son, don't wear no black eyed shine 
               C                    G 
Fight for your rights but don't just fight for right 
           F  C               G 
And do not drink Backslider's wine  
 
 
           D                              G 
But I took myself for a strong and loving soul 
               C                              G 
'Til I found myself face down on the bar room floor 
           C               G      
Crying "My God, what has become of me 
           F   C              G  
I dare not drink Backslider's wine no more
