《Christmas In Southgate》歌词

[00:00:01] Christmas In Southgate - Ry Cooder

[00:00:16] Well you got no credit and I got no cash

[00:00:25] Now that bonus they give us was nothing but trash

[00:00:34] You been laid off at Goodyear I been laid off at Hughes

[00:00:42] It looks like a bad year there just ain't no use

[00:00:46] 'Cause it's Christmas in Southgate you been a true friend

[00:00:52] I ain't never been much of a churchgoing man

[00:00:57] But I'd even give up drinkin' whiskey and gin

[00:01:05] If Jesus and Santa Claus ever get back down to Southgate again

[00:01:29] Well the telephone rang and it jumped off the wall

[00:01:34] Says We're sorry Buddy but we can't place your call

[00:01:40] 'Cause Jesus don't answer Santa ain't got back yet

[00:01:45] What's a poor old Red Cat got a right to expect

[00:01:50] So I called up my banker to ask for a loan

[00:01:55] Said It's Christmas Eve Buddy there ain't no one home

[00:02:00] Then I called up my preacher and he said We're through

[00:02:08] What the heck is a poor old Red Cat gonna do

[00:02:13] Now I'd work any job just to clear a day's pay

[00:02:18] Except for being President of the old USA

[00:02:23] Now that's dirty work Lefty no future it's true

[00:02:28] I'd rather drink up my last nickel with you

[00:02:36] Well it's Christmas in Southgate you been a true friend

[00:02:42] I ain't never been much of a churchgoin' man

[00:02:47] But I'd even give up drinkin' whiskey and gin

[00:02:55] If Jesus and Santa Claus ever come back down to Southgate again
