There Ain`t No Santa Claus On The Evenin` Stage Lyrics

There ain`t no Santa Claus on the evenin` stage 
There ain`t no way t` pull the curtain 
`N hide from hunger`s rage 
There ain`t no town t` stop in 
There ain`t no time t` stop in 
There ain`t no straw for my horse 
There ain`t no straw for my bed 
There ain`t no comfort in cold boards 
There ain`t no rumours of foot for my stomach 
`N someday I`m gonna be saved 
`Cause I gotta eat `n drink `n breathe `n sleep 
`N I`m ah slave 
Down in hominy`s grotto there`s ah soul die`n `n leavin` 
Every second on the evenin` stage 
There`s ah soul die`n `n rottin` `n pickin` 
Some new kinda cotton 
With his fingers broken `n his heart `n back forgotten 
There ain`t no Santa Claus on the evenin` stage
