2/19/1999 alternate lyrics

If I die before my time
oh, brother of mine, please don't forget me if I die
oh, if I go before I'm old
oh, sister of mine, please don't regret me if I go

Oh, my lord, bartender, please
give me the drink that you gave Jesus so he could get up again
oh, please, roll up for me
oh, the same drink that you gave to Jesus, he might rise again

So every dream I say leave me
oh breath in me, heartbeat, believe me
from quietest times, oh, in my mind
I can hear the thump, thump of my chest in the widest times
oh, when I'm old, where we fold our souls up
we keep them down, we drink and drink up, oh the fold

Oh no, bartender, please
give me the hands to save all that I love, please
oh, god, bartender, please
fix me the drink that you gave Jesus so he might walk again

On bended knees, I pray, bartender please
on bended knees, I pray, bartender
Bartender
main lyrics
If I go before I'm old
oh, brother of mine, please don't forget me
if I go

Bartender, please, fill my glass for me
with the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
after three days in the ground

Oh, and if I die before my time
oh, sweet sister of mine, please don't regret me
if I die

Bartender, please, fill my glass for me
with the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
after three days in the ground
bartender, please, fill my glass for me
with the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
after three days in the ground, in the ground

I'm on bended knees, I pray, bartender, please

When I was young, I never think about it
now I can't get it out of my mind

I'm on bended knees, father, please

Oh, and if all this gold should steal my soul away
oh, sweet mother of mine, please redirect me
if this gold

Bartender, you see, the wine that's drinking me
came from the vine that strung Judas from the devil's tree
his roots deep, deep in the ground
bartender, you see, the wine that's drinking me
was the wine that strung Judas from the devil's tree
his roots deep, deep in the ground, in the ground
watch the light

I'm on bended knees, oh, bartender, please
I'm on bended knees, father, please

When I was young, I never think about it
now I just wanna run and die

I'm on bended knees, oh, bartender, please
bartender, please
