Wiskey Basin Blues

On a snow covered night Up in eastern Wyoming Another lazy day Lookin? for the sun In a draughty old cabin Outside a whiskey basin Another shining light And a good man on the run There?s a lady back in Laramie And her reason no one else can see For him to spend The winter on his own Nothing much for him to do tomorrow Just a matter of survival Another friendly fight In a life chocked full of fun It?s a special kind of medicine And all that you can do is win Though it tastes so sweet You can refuse Put your heart on the table Fill your fountain with moonshine Another empty case of The Whiskey Basin blues
