Ripe and ready
To be cut down from this tree.
Take from me
The sustenance that you need.

Hard core
Soft skin
The sweetest juice
Held within

Drink up
You need your strength
Drink up
Soon parched at length
For your journey is long and dry
Drink up, my dear...
Drink these tears I cry.

Hot and heady
I'll give you what I've got for free.
Take from me
All the sugar that you need.

Sly smile
Smart mouth
Taste the West
As you head South

Drink up
You need your strength
Drink up
Soon parched at length
For your journey is long and dry
Drink up, my dear...
Drink these tears I cry.

Golden flesh and honey taste
Promises to remain chaste
In the absence of love's touch
The drought will be strong
Drink up, my dear,
Before you're gone.

Drink up
You need your strength
Drink up
Soon parched at length
For your journey is long and dry
Drink up, my dear...
Drink these tears I cry.

Drink up
You need your strength
Drink up
Soon parched at length
For your journey is long and dry
Drink up, my dear...
Drink these tears I cry.

I cry
I cry
I cry
I cry
