lyrics

Early in the morning with the sun not yet come up
I went out on my pony and I left behind my love
Between the fields of barley and the glowing sky above
I left my love behind me but I brought my drinking cup

Cup, my cup, my drinking cup, my cup I love you so
Cup of aching cup of waking, cup of pain and woe
Cup of worries, cup so mean, cup of deep sorrow
Cup of freedom, cup of dreams, cup of wine that flows

I saddled up my pony and I rode far away
And then I set that pony free and I sat to drink all day
And thought about my true love and just what she would think
When she'd awaken and be forsaken for my cup of drink

Cup, my cup, my drinking cup, my cup I love you so
Cup of aching cup of waking, cup of pain and woe
Cup of worries, cup so mean, cup of deep sorrow
Cup of freedom, cup of dreams, cup of wine that flows

"One sad day they will find you with your hand in a death grip
Upon that cup which you hold up to your lips to take a sip
They'll put you in a coffin and then the lid they'll shut
You'll leave this world behind you but you'll bring that drinking cup"

Cup, my cup, my drinking cup, my cup I love you so
Cup of aching cup of waking, cup of pain and woe
Cup of worries, cup so mean, cup of deep sorrow
Cup of freedom, cup of dreams, cup of wine that flows

I thought that my pony had run off to be seen no more,
But alone out in the wilderness he must have gotten bored
For suddenly I seen him comin' at a steady gallop
My pony come back to drink with me from my drinking cup

Cup, my cup, my drinking cup, my cup I love you so
Cup of aching cup of waking, cup of pain and woe
Cup of worries, cup so mean, cup of deep sorrow
Cup of freedom, cup of dreams, cup of wine that flows
