Eleventh track off the long awaited Busted Stuff and a carry over from The Lillywhite Sessions. Matthews has commented that he likes to think of a bartender as a figure of God that you confess to get absolution.
Bartender is also known as the late LeRoi Moore’s favorite song and it was the first so...
[Verse 1]
If I go before I'm old
Oh, brother of mine please don't forget me if I go
[Chorus]
Bartender please, fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
[Verse 2]
Oh, and if I die before my time
Oh, sweet sister of mine please don't regret me if I go
[Chorus] x2
Bartender please, fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
[Bridge]
I'm on bended knee, I pray
Bartender, please
When I was young I didn't think about it
But now I can't get it out of my mind
I'm on bended knees, father, please
[Verse 3]
Oh, if all this gold, should steal my soul away
Oh, dear mother of mine, please redirect me if this gold
[Chorus]
Bartender, you see, this wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the devil's tree roots
Deep deep in the ground
In the ground
[Outro]
I'm on bended knee, I pray
Bartender, please
I'm on bended knee, please, father, please
When I was young I didn't think about it
But now I just want to run and hide
I'm on bended knee
Bartender, please[x2]
