Lyrics Brother, My Cup Is Empty (2010 Remaster) - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Brother,
my
cup
is
empty
And
I
haven't
got
a
penny
For
to
buy
no
more
whiskey
I
have
to
go
home
I
am
the
captain
of
my
pain
Tis
the
bit,
the
bridle,
The
trashing
cane
The
stirrup,
the
harness
The
whipping
mane
The
pickled
eye
The
shrinking
brain
O
brother,
buy
me
one
more
drink
I'll
explain
the
nature
of
my
pain
Yes,
let
me
tell
you
once
again
I
am
the
captain
of
my
pain
O
brother,
my
cup
is
empty
And
I
haven't
got
a
penny
For
to
buy
no
more
whiskey
I
have
to
go
home
I
cannot
blame
it
all
on
her
To
blame
her
all
would
be
a
lie
For
many
a
night
I
lay
awake
And
wished
that
I
could
watch
her
die
To
see
her
accusing
finger
spurt
To
see
flies
swarm
her
hateful
eye
To
watch
her
groaning
in
the
dirt
To
see
her
clicking
tongue
crack
dry
O
brother,
buy
me
one
more
drink
One
more
drink
and
then
goodbye
And
do
not
mock
me
when
I
say
Let's
drink
one
more
before
I
die
O
brother,
my
cup
is
empty
And
I
haven't
got
a
penny
For
to
buy
no
more
whiskey
I
have
to
go
home
Well
I've
been
sliding
down
on
rainbows
Well
I've
been
swinging
from
the
stars
Now
this
wretch
in
beggars
clothing
Bangs
his
cup
across
the
bars
Look,
this
cup
of
mine
is
empty!
Seems
I've
misplaced
my
desires
Seems
I'm
sweeping
up
the
ashes
Of
all
my
former
fires
So
brother,
be
a
brother
And
fill
this
tiny
cup
of
mine
And
please,
sir,
make
it
whiskey
For
I
have
no
head
for
wine
O
brother,
my
cup
is
empty
And
I
haven't
got
a
penny
For
to
buy
no
more
whiskey
I
have
to
go
home
I
counted
up
my
blessings
And
counted
only
one
One
tiny
little
blessing
And
now
that
blessings
gone
So
buy
me
one
more
drink,
my
brother
Then
I'm
taking
to
the
road
Yes,
I'm
taking
to
the
rain
I'm
taking
to
the
snow
O
my
friend,
my
only
brother
Do
not
let
the
party
grieve
So
throw
a
dollar
onto
the
bar
Now
kiss
my
ass
and
leave
O
brother,
my
cup
is
empty
And
I
haven't
got
a
penny
For
to
buy
no
more
whiskey
I
have
to
go
home
