D             G  
As the rain ruins my alibi  
    C                               G  
I'm down to tellin' you my red-eyed mind  
             C  
It's not the sun bright path  
               G   
That called me from my home  
               F C D               G    
It's just that fine   Backslider's wine  


[Refrão]
         D               G  
My momma sings out in my memory  
              C                  G  
Oh Son, don't wear no black eyed shine  
               C                    G  
Fight for your rights but don't just fight for right  
           F C D              G  
And do not drink Backslider's wine  
  
  
           D                              G  
But I took myself for a strong and loving soul  
               C                              G  
'Til I found myself face down on the bar room floor  
           C               G       
Crying "My God, what has become of me  
           F C D              G   
I dare not drink Backslider's wine no more
