My strings are dirty, my head is high, I ain't got nothing pretty to soak up my cries but I'll play on, because I'm uncle John
My whiskey is water, but my water is gin, there ain't nothing pretty about all my sins but I'll play on, because I'm uncle John
And so I'll sing another song for you, and I'll sing twenty more for me
And if I make it through tomorrow's dreams, I'll meet you down on Wealthy Street
My heart seems heavy and my song sounds blue, and my rusted old guitar used to be new but I'll play on, because I'm uncle John
My dreams are blurry but my vision's fine, I ain't in no hurry to spend all my time, but I'll play on, because I'm uncle John
And so I'll sing another song for you, and I'll sing twenty more for me
And if I make it through tomorrow's dreams, I'll meet you down on Wealthy Street
