Benjamin Tod wrote this song at the tail end of his alcoholism. Noticing a lack of traditional music about tequila, his drink of choice, he wanted to make one that both ‘worshipped the god of Agave, and the misery of being a drunk’
I stand before a trial I will lose
I drink it clear to see my future through
The nectar I began to weep when I was just a youth
Mother pled with me to abstain
That temptress of the desert Agave
And I stumbled down the empty avenue
If this is the bottom I fell through
With a spade I dug my grave into perdition's tomb
Mother pled with me to abstain
That temptress of the desert Agave
Its painful to ingest or refuse
My veins starve and ache for ninety proof
When I die spread my hide in that old Jalisco bloom
Mother pled with me to abstain
That temptress of the desert Agave
When I die spread my hide in that old Jalisco bloom
Mother pled with me to abstain
That temptress of the desert Agave
Jalisco Bloom was written by Benjamin Tod.
Lost Dog Street Band released Jalisco Bloom on Thu Dec 02 2021.
