Lyrics
MEDICINE CUP
SOME FOLKS DRINKING WATER
SOME DRINKING GIN
SOME FOLKS DOORS WIDE OPEN
AND THEIR FRIENDS WALK IN
SOME WANNA LIVE IN A FORTRESS ON A MOUNTAIN TOP
SOME FOLKS DON?T LIKE DANCING
TIL THE DANCING STOPS
Chorus:
TAKE A PIECE OF EVERY WOMAN
AND A PIECE OF EVERY MAN
DRINKING BEER FROM A BROKEN BOTTLE
OR WATER FROM A RUSTY CAN
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
AND THE MOON COMES UP
EVERYBODY TAKE A LONG SLOW MOUTHFUL
FROM THEIR MEDICINE CUP
SOM FOLKS LIVE BY RELIGION
SOME BY THE SWORD
SOME FOLKS SAY THAT THE GOOD BOOK
IS GOD?S OWN WORD
SOME MIGHT SAY THAT THE BUDDHA
HE?S THE ONE TO FIND
SOME FOLKS PATHS GO LONG AND STRAIGHT
WHILE OTHERS WIND
CHORUS
SOME FOLKS LIVE IN TOMORROW
SOME IN TODAY
OTHERS IN A TIME THAT?S BEEN AND GONE AWAY
SOME WANNA LIVE ON A VACANT CLOUD
IN AN EMPTY SKY
OTHERS LIVE ON MAIN STREET
AND WATCH IT ALL GO BY
CHORUS
