Morning Rain (Ballad of a Lonesome Drunk)

from The Heroin Dress (LP 2013) by Sara Gee & Ramblin Matt

/

about

Just a little song written by Matt as a tribute to one of our main men, Mr. Johnny Cash & his Tennessee Two, Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant. In this case Matt plays the part of them three and lovely Sara adds beautiful backing vocals. A bar song, a drunken song, a tender song.

Mateo "Ramblin Matt" Garcia: Vocals, Rhythm, Chikka-Boom and Acoustic Guitars, Double Bass, Scratch and backing vocals.

lyrics

There are times in the life of a man
When things get very hard to understand
When love turns into sorrow and joy turns to pain
And all you got is the sweet morning rain

Morning rain come and take away my pain
Morning rain dripping down my window frame
Like my teardrops keep-a-fallin, like the kisses that I´m blowing
To your health, your happiness and grace

Like th eknife cuts the butter on a tray
Like a lion drives its claws into a prey
Like a hammer on red iron, like a child´s hand on wet clay
Please rain on me and wash my blues away

Waitress come and sit with me tonight
Come and pour me some brown liquor into a dirty glass
Come and sing with me way downlow
Any old blues or a sad Hank Williams song

Morning comes and the wind makes me sway
As I´m walking and stumbling on the way
Ain´t no use in being mad, ain´t no gain on feeling low
So bring it on and let the good times roll

Waitress come and sit with me tonight
Come and pour me some brown liquor into a dirty glass
Come and sing with me way downlow
Any old blues or a sad Hank Williams song
