Paroles de Templeton Rye

Born in a cloud of dust
It broke the best of us
Sweating poverty
A desperate time

Then they took our drink away
How are we supposed to live that way
Nothing takes away the pain
Like Templeton Rye

Chorus:
So let the barn burn
Let the band play
Everything will be OK
When your mouth gets dry
Fill my cup with Templeton Rye

Bag of sugar and a bushel of grain
Everyone is praying for rain
Revenuers pour it down the drain
Start from scratch

Thirty feet of a copper pipe
One hundred gallons cooking overnight
Make sure it tastes just right
And start another batch He's got a mean mean thirst

Take the rest to the River House Barn
Out in back of the heater farm
A pretty girl walking on my arm
Guided by the moonlight
