11. Bottle of Blues
(McGowan)

I'm sure have heard this recently - in our albums somewhere - but where? No idea. Always good to hear again but I'm not sure if this is any better than the original. --Jore

I didn't intend this to be on the album. It was on 'Too Black Bad' but I recently recorded it live with my friend Mark Briggs and must have sent it to Jore to hear. He must have thought it was a track for this boxset. Anyway - it's here now. --Davy

Woke this morning with an aching head
Lost the battle with the booze
Angels standing all around my bed
Got myself a bottle of blues

Ain't no use for me to weep and moan
Got nothing left here to lose
I can hear my Saviour calling me on home
Got myself a bottle of blues

Sign on the highway reading Beulah Land
Guess I'll get my walking shoes
Time running out just like grains of sand
Got myself a bottle of blues

You can tell my friends that they can look for me
Somewhere 'tween Hell and Santa Cruz
My time ain't long yeah it's plain to see
Got myself a bottle of blues
