Brother, My Cup Is Empty

[00:00.03] Brother, my cup is empty
[00:01.80] And I haven't got a penny
[00:03.62] For to buy no more whiskey
[00:06.33] I have to go home
[00:09.33]
[00:18.28] I am the captain of my pain
[00:20.07] Tis the bit, the bridle,
[00:20.95] The trashing cane
[00:22.79] The stirrup, the harness
[00:23.63] The whipping mane
[00:24.57] The pickled eye
[00:26.46] The shrinking brain
[00:27.35] O brother, buy me one more drink
[00:29.13] I'll explain the nature of my pain
[00:31.85] Yes, let me tell you once again
[00:33.74] I am the captain of my pain
[00:36.40] O brother, my cup is empty
[00:38.26] And I haven't got a penny
[00:41.07] For to buy no more whiskey
[00:43.71] I have to go home
[00:46.58] I cannot blame it all on her
[00:48.35] To blame her all would be a lie
[00:51.01] For many a night I lay awake
[00:52.93] And wished that I could watch her die
[00:55.61] To see her accusing finger spurt
[00:57.47] To see flies swarm her hateful eye
[01:00.29] To watch her groaning in the dirt
[01:02.09] To see her clicking tongue crack dry
[01:04.79] O brother, buy me one more drink
[01:06.53] One more drink and then goodbye
[01:09.34] And do not mock me when I say
[01:11.18] Let's drink one more before I die
[01:13.95] O brother, my cup is empty
[01:15.74] And I haven't got a penny
[01:18.41] For to buy no more whiskey
[01:21.30] I have to go home
[01:23.02] Well I've been sliding down on rainbows
[01:25.88] Well I've been swinging from the stars
[01:27.65] Now this wretch in beggars clothing
[01:30.32] Bangs his cup across the bars
[01:32.11] Look, this cup of mine is empty!
[01:34.92] Seems I've misplaced my desires
[01:36.79] Seems I'm sweeping up the ashes
[01:39.57] Of all my former fires
[01:41.35] So brother, be a brother
[01:44.14] And fill this tiny cup of mine
[01:46.81] And please, sir, make it whiskey
[01:48.65] For I have no head for wine
[01:51.40] O brother, my cup is empty
[01:53.28] And I haven't got a penny
[01:56.06] For to buy no more whiskey
[01:58.78] I have to go home
[02:02.78]
[02:09.74] I counted up my blessings
[02:12.48] And counted only one
[02:14.32] One tiny little blessing
[02:17.05] And now that blessings gone
[02:18.86] So buy me one more drink, my brother
[02:21.61] Then I'm taking to the road
[02:23.45] Yes, I'm taking to the rain
[02:26.25] I'm taking to the snow
[02:28.03] O my friend, my only brother
[02:30.78] Do not let the party grieve
[02:33.44] So throw a dollar onto the bar
[02:36.29] Now kiss my ass and leave
[02:37.12] O brother, my cup is empty
[02:39.94] And I haven't got a penny
[02:42.68] For to buy no more whiskey
[02:44.45] I have to go home
[02:45.52]
