Brother my cup is empty

And i haven't got a penny

For to buy no more whiskey

I have to go home

 

Oh brother my cup is empty

And i haven't got a penny

For to buy no more whiskey

I have to go home

 

I am the captain of my pain

'tis the bit the bridle and the trashing cane

The stirrup the harness and the whipping mane

The pickled eye and the shrinking brain

 

Brother buy me one more drink

Explain the nature of my pain yeah

Let me tell you once again

I am the captain of my pain

 

Brother my cup is empty

And i haven't got a penny

For to buy no more whiskey

I have to go home

 

I cannot blame it all on her

To blame her all would be a lie

For many a night i lay awake

I wished that i could watch her die

 

To see her accusing finger spurt

To see flies swarm her hateful eye

To watch her groaning in the dirt

To see her clicking tongue crack dry

Brother buy me one more drink

One more drink and then goodbye

And do not mock me when i say

Let's drink one more before i die

 

Brother my cup is empty

And i haven't got a penny

For to buy no more whiskey

I have to go home

 

I've been sliding down on rainbows

I've been swinging from the stars

Now this wretch in beggar's clothing

Bangs his cup across the bars

 

Look this cup of mine is empty

Seems i've misplaced my desires

Seems i'm sweeping up the ashes

Of all my former fires

 

So brother be a brother

And fill this tiny cup of mine

But please sir make it whiskey

I have no head for wine

 

Oh brother my cup is empty

And i haven't got a penny

For to buy no more whiskey

I have to go home

 

Oh brother my cup is empty

And i haven't got a penny

For to buy no more whiskey

I have to go home

 

I counted up my blessings

And i counted only one

One tiny little blessing

And now that blessing's gone

 

So buy me one more drink my brother

Then i'm taking to the road

Yes i'm taking to the rain

And i'm taking to the snow

 

Oh my friend my only brother

Do not let the party grieve

And throw a dollar on the bar

Now kiss my ass and leave

 

Brother my cup is empty

And i haven't got a penny

For to buy no more whiskey

I have to go home

 

Brother my cup is empty

And i haven't got a penny

For to buy no more whiskey

I have to go home
