In 1980 Kerry Livgren, songwriter, keyboardist and guitarist for KANSAS, released his first solo album. On the song, "Whiskey Seed," Kerry secured the talents of Mylon LeFever for a blues flavored duet about one particular type of bondage.
Whiskey Seed Words and music by Kerry Livgren Well I been down on the row, and I'm livin' so low That I'd sell you my britches fo' a nickle. I done spent all my bread, just to screw up my head an' that ol' reaper is comin' with his sickle I'd get down in the mud for one little shot Trade you for a bottle everything I got It's the devil's own, so Brother take heed don't go plantin' that ol' Whiskey Seed. I don't know where I been, ain't no where or no when And my liver's so bad I'm turnin' yellow Occupation's a bum, an' zero's my sum Got the DT's so bad I look like Jell-O Well the gutter's my bed, the paper's my sheet You can find me lyin' out in the street It's the devil's own, so Brother take heed don't go plantin' that ol' Whiskey Seed Now I'm feelin' so low, I got nowhere to go If I found a big hole I think I'd crawl in And I wish't I could hide, cause it feels like I died And I hear that ol' bottle still a-callin' But I'm tryin' to find a way to get out Sometimes makes me want to jump and shout It's the devil's own, so Brother take heed Don't go plantin' that ol' Whiskey Seed |
