《Old Ballyhoo》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Ballyhoo - Loudon Wainwright III

[00:00:00] Mister won't you lend a poor dime a cripple

[00:00:04] I'm about a thousand dollars from my home

[00:00:07] Ain't got no mile in my pocket

[00:00:10] No head to poke my hole through

[00:00:11] And I don't know where I'll die when I go to

[00:00:15] I've tried living in the valley

[00:00:17] And working at the mill

[00:00:19] I like bootlegging better

[00:00:21] Running whiskey through these hills

[00:00:23] Now I'm back down from the mountain

[00:00:25] And living on the barn

[00:00:27] If you've got change for five dollars

[00:00:29] Why don't you give me some

[00:00:32] Mister won't you lend a poor dime a cripple

[00:00:36] I'm about a thousand dollars from my home

[00:00:40] Ain't got no mile in my pocket

[00:00:42] No head to poke my hole through

[00:00:44] And I don't know where I'll die when I go to

[00:00:47] Hey I could play in your theater

[00:00:49] Local church or corner bar

[00:00:52] Long as there's fun and money

[00:00:54] I ain't too particular

[00:00:55] I can sing and dance and whistle

[00:00:57] Turn cartwheels through the air

[00:00:59] And if I get too tight to stand upright

[00:01:01] Just tie me to a chair

[00:01:05] Mister won't you lend a poor dime a cripple

[00:01:08] I'm about a thousand dollars from my home

[00:01:12] Ain't got no mile in my pocket

[00:01:14] No head to poke my hole through

[00:01:16] And I don't know where I'll die when I go to

[00:01:20] Now when this song is over

[00:01:22] Gonna pass around my hat

[00:01:24] So won't you reach down deep inside

[00:01:26] Hey quiet at the back

[00:01:28] Did you come to talk or listen folks

[00:01:30] Now everybody hush

[00:01:32] 'Cause when I hit that high note

[00:01:34] I can make a statue blush

[00:01:38] Mister won't you lend a poor dime a cripple

[00:01:41] I'm about a thousand dollars from my home

[00:01:45] Ain't got no mile in my pocket

[00:01:47] No head to poke my hole through

[00:01:49] And I don't know where I'll die when I go to
