(Mando Dorame/Eddie Nichols)
Arranged by Eddie Nichols and Mando Dorame


Mugzy's in the mood for losing cat
He's gonna beat it downtown to where it's at
Hocks his axe for some cash and a mess of blues
When sickness drowns his fear
The line becomes unclear
Well, just one more black day


How great is his need
A flowering bad seed
Well he's dying from his thirst cut off from all ties
Then he'll realize


He's gonna drown
In that hat full of rain
With a heart full of pain


And how can you live with a hat full of rain?
And a soul full of pain


How great is his need
A flowering bad seed
Well he's dying from his thirst
Cut off from all ties
Then he'll realize
He's gonna drown
In that hat full of rain
With a heart full of pain
And how can you live with a hat full of rain?
And a soul full of pain
