lyrics

BALLAD OF SAINT JAMES
words/music by Ethan Taylor Sellers

Come all ye sinners, on down to Saint James
He'll pour absolution and dull all your pains
With full glass in hand and a room full of friends
Packed wall to wall until the last call
Brings this night's service to end.

The barkeep's at work on his masters
On my right might be this year's Nobel
Who talks to a plumber on a hot night in summer
At Jimmy's, you never can tell.

Some folks could not understand her
They're hung up on style and decor,
The selection of beers, and stylish veneers
To me, the people mean more.

Come all ye sinners, on down to Saint James
He'll pour absolution and dull all your pains
With full glass in hand and a room full of friends
Packed wall to wall until the last call
Brings this night's service to end.

Old Jimmy bought her as a young man
And gave her his life and his heart
Flipping burgers and fries 'til the day that he died
And the city tried to tear her apart.

They tried to take away our tavern
The place where the neighbors all meet
Where the black and the white converse and don't fight
I wish the whole world was so sweet.

Come all ye sinners, on down to Saint James
He'll pour absolution and dull all your pains
With full glass in hand and a room full of friends
Packed wall to wall until the last call
Brings this night's service to end.

I wasn't there when she closed
The bar was too packed to get in
I was sad to hear it, the law's letter not spirit
Kept her closed and that was a sin.

Come all ye sinners, on down to Saint James
He'll pour Absolut in a cigarette haze
Time spent with locals is never in vain
You can talk out your ass, you can listen to jazz
And drink 'til the taps are all drained.

So come all ye sinners, on down to Saint James
He'll pour absolution and dull all your pains
With full glass in hand and a room full of friends
Packed wall to wall until the last call
Brings this night's service to end.
