Cornelis Vreeswijk - Ballad in the dust lyrics

[Cornelis Vreeswijk - Ballad in the dust lyrics]

Oh citizen hear me sing as
Sitting in the dust
It's the wrong time for music but
I feel like I must
I'm filled up with sadness
I'm in a dirty mood
Tomorrow it might be better but
It never be good
Tomorrow it might be better but
It never be good

If I call my sweet honey
She sure give me all the news
And we'll handle love business
Hell it gives me the blues
I don't think I can make it
But maybe I should after all
I might feel better though I never feel good
After all
I might feel better though I never feel good
So long pretty baby if I see you no more


I might drop you some letter
From a far away shore
Don't you cry then, sweet baby
You were doing real fine
Though your coffee might have been bitter
But, your love was like wine
Your coffee might have been bitter but
Your love was like wine

Sometimes I get a headache or
My stomach is ill
Man, I go to the doctor and
He gives me a pill
But, if radio-active ashes fall
Down from the sky
Boy, you'll never get any better
You'll be dead by and by
You'll never get any better
You'll be dead by and by

Lord, I don't understand
It is a sin and a shame
I don't know what keeps people fighting
I don't know who to blame
I'm just sittin' in the dust and
I don't see the light
I don't think it'll be better
Still maybe it might
I don't think it'll be better
Still maybe it might
