《Tombstone Blues(mono version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Tombstone Blues (墓碑布鲁斯) (mono version) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)

[00:00:10] The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course

[00:00:14] The city fathers they're trying to endorse

[00:00:18] The reincarnation of paul revere's horse

[00:00:22] But the town has no need to be nervous

[00:00:28] The ghost of belle starr she hands down her wits

[00:00:32] To jezebel the nun she violently knits

[00:00:35] A bald wig for jack the ripper who sits

[00:00:39] At the head of the chamber of commerce

[00:00:43] Mama's in the fact'ry

[00:00:45] She ain't got no shoes

[00:00:47] Daddy's in the alley

[00:00:49] He's lookin' for the fuse

[00:00:51] I'm in the streets

[00:00:53] With the tombstone blues

[00:01:01] The hysterical bride in the penny arcade

[00:01:06] Screaming she moans I've just been made

[00:01:09] Then sends out for the doctor who pulls down the shade

[00:01:13] Says my advice is to not let the boys in

[00:01:20] Now the medicine man comes and he shuffles inside

[00:01:24] He walks with a swagger and he says to the bride

[00:01:27] Stop all this weeping swallow your pride

[00:01:31] You will not die it's not poison

[00:01:36] Mama's in the fact'ry

[00:01:38] She ain't got no shoes

[00:01:39] Daddy's in the alley

[00:01:41] He's lookin' for the fuse

[00:01:43] I'm in the streets

[00:01:45] With the tombstone blues

[00:01:57] Well john the baptist after torturing a thief

[00:02:01] Looks up at his hero the commander in chief

[00:02:05] Saying tell me great hero but please make it brief

[00:02:09] Is there a hole for me to get sick in

[00:02:14] The commander in chief answers him while chasing a fly

[00:02:18] Saying death to all those who would whimper and cry

[00:02:22] And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky

[00:02:25] Saving the sun's not yellow it's chicken

[00:02:30] Mama's in the fact'ry

[00:02:31] She ain't got no shoes

[00:02:33] Daddy's in the alley

[00:02:35] He's lookin' for the fuse

[00:02:37] I'm in the streets

[00:02:39] With the tombstone blues

[00:02:47] The king of the philistines his soldiers to save

[00:02:52] Put jawbones on their tombstones and flatters their graves

[00:02:55] Puts the pied pipers in prison and fattens the slaves

[00:02:59] Then sends them out to the jungle

[00:03:06] Gypsy davey with a blowtorch he burns out their camps

[00:03:10] With his faithful slave pedro behind him he tramps

[00:03:14] With a fantastic collection of stamps

[00:03:18] To win friends and influence his uncle

[00:03:23] Mama's in the fact'ry

[00:03:24] She ain't got no shoes

[00:03:27] Daddy's in the alley

[00:03:28] He's lookin' for the fuse

[00:03:30] I'm in the streets

[00:03:32] With the tombstone blues

[00:03:46] The geometry of innocence flesh on the bone

[00:03:51] Causes galileo's math book to get thrown

[00:03:54] At delilah who sits worthlessly alone

[00:03:58] But the tears on her cheeks are from laughter

[00:04:06] Now I wish I could give brother bill his great thrill

[00:04:09] I would set him in chains at the top of the hill

[00:04:13] Then send out for some pillars and cecil b demille

[00:04:17] He could die happily ever after

[00:04:22] Mama's in the fact'ry

[00:04:23] She ain't got no shoes

[00:04:25] Daddy's in the alley

[00:04:27] He's lookin' for the fuse

[00:04:29] I'm in the streets

[00:04:31] With the tombstone blues

[00:04:52] Where ma raney and beethoven once unwrapped their bed roll

[00:04:56] Tuba players now rehearse around the flagpole

[00:05:00] And the national bank at a profit sells road maps for the soul

[00:05:04] To the old folks home and the college

[00:05:11] Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain

[00:05:14] That could hold you dear lady from going insane

[00:05:18] That could ease you and cool you and cease the pain

[00:05:22] Of your useless and pointless knowledge

[00:05:26] Mama's in the fact'ry

[00:05:28] She ain't got no shoes

[00:05:30] Daddy's in the alley

[00:05:32] He's lookin' for the fuse

[00:05:34] I'm in the streets

[00:05:36] With the tombstone blues
