No Silver - Chris Bathgate

I ain’t got no silver, I ain’t got no gold

In the white sheet winter, with its dawn so cold

You know I froze, in sun

I ain’t got no silver, I ain’t got no gold

In dead street daylight, and shadow

And in a dark so cold, and calm

I’m all callow and gone

I ain’t got no silver, I ain’t got no gold

In the dead heat daydream of marrow

And in a thought so cold, as alms

I’ll follow and fawn
