My name is August West,
And I love my Pearly Baker best more than my wine.
More than my wine -
More than my maker, though he's no friend of mine.
Everyone said,
I'd come to no good, I knew I would Pearly, believe them.
Half of my life,
I spent doin' time for some other fucker's crime,
A D A
The other half found me stumbling 'round drunk on Burgundy wine
G D G/D D A D G/D D
But I'll get back on my feet again someday,
C G C G D Dsus4 D
The good Lord willin', if He says I may.
Asus4 A Em
I know that the life I'm livin's no good,
Asus4 A Asus2 A A7 Em
I'll get a new start, live the life I should.
Break
Em
I'll get up and fly away,
Asus2
I'll get up and fly away, fly away.
Pearly's been true,
True to me, true to my dyin' day he said,
I said to him,
I said to him, "I'm sure she's been."
I said to him, "I'm sure she's been true to you."
Got up and wandered,
Wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around.
I've got a girl,
Named Bonnie Lee, I know that girl's been true to me.
I know she's been, I'm sure she's been true to me.
