My Sweet and Bitter Bowl

Woody Guthrie, Jonatha Brooke

[Verse 1]
I ride the fastest horse and ships
I sip the sweetest warmest lips
I deck myself with the prettiest clothes
My true love is frozen cold

[Verse 2]
Those soldiers bold have tried of me
Sailor men that sailed the sea
Pioneers have broke my soils
My true love is frozen cold

[Chorus]
If you would open and raise my soul
If you would pass my gates and doors
If you'd unlock my frozen loves
Just drink my sweet and my bitter bowl

[Verse 3]
Summer's lovers I have tried
Fair weather soldiers in their pride
The fat, the slim, the tall, the fair
None did comb my tangled hair

[Verse 4]
When I do find my one of all
I'll dance my joy and sing my call
My mountain and tree will see us roll
To break these locks that chain my soul

[Chorus]
If you would open and raise my soul
If you would pass my gates and doors
If you'd unlock my frozen loves
Just drink my sweet and my bitter bowl

[Verse 5]
If my eyes tell you that you're this one
My lifetime long and hungry one
I'll kiss our key that brings you in
And I'll forget your greatest sin

[Verse 6]
'Cause when I hold you warm in hand
And walk you through creation's land
Love me like our easiest breeze
That kisses our sun in my windburnt trees

[Chorus]
If you would open and raise my soul
If you would pass my gates and doors
If you'd unlock my frozen loves
Just drink my sweet and my bitter bowl

[Verse 7]
This wild grass is our document
This bed of leaves our free permit
Our vow is laughed in lakes and pools
Our wedding rings are dewdrop jewels

[Verse 8]
For you I'll hunger most and worst
You'll be my hottest driest thirst
You are my fire that never dies
My soul is in your hands and eyes

[Chorus]
If you would open and raise my soul
If you would pass my gates and doors
If you'd unlock my frozen loves
Just drink my sweet and my bitter bowl

[Verse 9]
I am your battles still to fight
I'll be your roughest day and night
I'll take from you your hardest sweat
And pay you in words not sung or said
