I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like it's face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in a minor place

Well I put the shoes in line
Separate the women mine
As we do what we do fine
So victorious, so benign

I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like it's face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in a minor place

Only take the weather warm
And the job that does me harm
The scars of last year's storm
Rest like maggots on my arm

I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like it's face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in a minor place

Thank you man if for the thought
That all my loving can be bought
Was wisely in your gullet caught
Before my loyalty you sought

I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like it's face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in a minor place

O it's not a desert nor a web
Nor a tomb where I lay dead
Minor in a sound alone
Yes a clear commanding tone

Singing from my little point
And aching in my every joint
I thank the world it will anoint me
If I show it how I hold it
