The Goddess Done Left Me
(A Pagan Country Song)
by Leigh Ann Hussey, recorded on the album "Home Brew"
(alternate line by David Rice)

I used to be a powerful Priestess
At cantrips and spells I was tops! (alternate: At head trips and spells I was tops!)
Gave a great double whammy with my trusty athame,
But nowadays I'm simply a flop.

So pay another buck to the piper,
And tell him to play a lament.
'Cuz the Goddess done gone and left me alone,
And my karmic credit's all spent.

Chorus:
Yeah, the Goddess done left me and I'm feeling blue
So barkeep, please pour me another.
I've nothin' to do since my honeymoon's through
With the Crone and the Maid and the Mother.

When the Goddess was smiling upon me,
Back then I had coveners plenty--
And nothin' much mattered, 'cuz I wore on my garter
More buckles than Doreen Valiente!

But now my ex-maiden's replaced me
And them buckles turned out to be tin!
And the Tarot and I Ching, they just keep on apreachin'
That I won't see the Goddess agin!

(Chorus)

So pour me another wine cooler
As I sign for the drinks that I've had.
I'll drink 'til I pass out, or 'til they throw my ass out--
Hey, ya know, this stuff ain't half bad.

That barkeep looks kinda familiar,
It might be those grapes in his hair.
Hey, I'm feeling much better, if She wants to go, let Her!
I suddenly think I don't care!

(Chorus)

Yeah, the Goddess done left me, but them is the breaks
'Cuz in truth, She's a fickle old broad!
And with all my resources of archetypal forces,
I'll just have to make do with the God!

Yeah, the Goddess done left me, and I'm feeling okay,
So it looks like it ain't a crisis.
So pass the amphora and clear off the floor--
I'll be Priestessing for Dionysus!
