Old Purple Tin Lyrics - Exile On Coldharbour Lane - Alabama 3

I lived with my mamma 

'Til I was sixteen 

Old time religion 

The sweetest of dreams 

 

And now that I'm again 

And conscience is dead 

In my left hand the Bible 

In my right hand an old purple tin 

 

I went to the doctor 

'Cause I was unwell 

He said, "My boy 

You all shot to hell" 

 

"I go'n write you a prescription 

For some pure heroin" 

But I traded that sucker 

For a six pack of that old purple tin

The old purple tin 

The old purple tin 

Sweet testament Lord 

To the state that I'm in 

 

I drunk it all day 

I drunk it all night 

The old purple tin 

Oh Lord, lights up my life 

 

I am in prison 

The light never shines 

I can't see my Bible 

So dark is the night 

 

I'm waiting for letters 

That never get sent 

All my brothers and sisters 

On the corner with that old purple tin

The old purple tin 

The old purple tin 

Sing it now 

Sweet testament Lord 

Sweet nine percent, Lord 

 

To the state that I'm in 

I have drunk it all day 

I have drunk it all night 

The old purple tin 

 

Oh, Lord, lights up my life 

Lights up my life 

Lights up my life 

Lights up my life
