《Joey’s Camel》歌词

[00:00:10] Dear Mother

[00:00:11] I'm lying on a white hot blanket

[00:00:14] Wishing you were here

[00:00:16] We're a thousand miles from Cairo

[00:00:19] And it's taken us a year to get this far

[00:00:26] Dear Mother

[00:00:27] I've grown a beard in the last three weeks

[00:00:30] And I can't see nothing but sand

[00:00:32] You wouldn't recognize me Mother

[00:00:35] But I know you'd understand

[00:00:43] Dear Mother

[00:00:44] We spend the nights under canvas

[00:00:47] Dreaming of ice cold beer

[00:00:49] And we spend the days in the desert

[00:00:52] I miss you Mother dear

[00:00:54] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:00:58] How did you escape

[00:00:59] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:01:03] How did you escape

[00:01:05] Dear Mother

[00:01:06] We found the Ten Commandments

[00:01:08] Mother

[00:01:09] Just like I said we would

[00:01:12] But somebody broke our compass

[00:01:14] Mother

[00:01:14] And the water is no good

[00:01:17] And Beau said it was sabotage

[00:01:20] So I laughed at him and said

[00:01:23] Mother wouldn't let that happen

[00:01:25] Beau

[00:01:26] But Beau was dead

[00:01:28] So I left him in the sand dunes

[00:01:31] And I struck out on my own

[00:01:33] With a page of hieroglyphics

[00:01:36] And the tablets of stone

[00:01:38] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:01:43] How did you escape

[00:01:49] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:01:54] How did you escape

[00:02:00] Dear Mother

[00:02:01] They attacked while I was sleeping

[00:02:04] Dreaming of ice cold beer

[00:02:06] But when they saw what I was carrying

[00:02:09] They backed away in fear

[00:02:11] They said the hand of God is upon you

[00:02:15] It is written on the wall

[00:02:17] Dear Mother

[00:02:18] They must have thought I was Elijah or something

[00:02:21] With the beard and all

[00:02:23] So they led me down to the catacombs

[00:02:26] The walls were lined with bones

[00:02:29] And a voice said he'd give me three of his wives

[00:02:32] For just a glimpse of the stones

[00:02:33] Dear Mother

[00:02:34] I said that I had lost them

[00:02:37] They were buried in the shifting sands

[00:02:39] But they said if I didn't give them the tablets

[00:02:42] They'd cut off both of my hands

[00:02:45] Mother

[00:02:45] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:02:49] How did you escape

[00:02:55] Dear Mother

[00:02:56] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:03:00] How did you escape

[00:03:06] Mother

[00:03:06] Dear Mother

[00:03:07] I'm running out of water

[00:03:10] Mother

[00:03:10] The map was a fake

[00:03:13] Now I'm stuck on the Devil's anvil

[00:03:15] Mother

[00:03:16] Payin' for Beau's mistake

[00:03:18] I woke up in a sandstorm

[00:03:21] I'd had a terrible dream

[00:03:24] I'd broken the Ten Commandments

[00:03:26] Mother

[00:03:27] I began to scream

[00:03:29] But something else was out there

[00:03:32] Following the scent

[00:03:35] And it cast the shadow of a cobra

[00:03:37] On the walls of the tent

[00:03:39] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:03:43] How did you escape

[00:03:45] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:03:49] How did you escape

[00:03:51] Dear Mother

[00:03:52] I hadn't got a rifle

[00:03:54] Or a dagger or a sword

[00:03:56] So my only other weapon

[00:03:59] As the word of the Lord

[00:04:02] So when it wrapped itself around my body

[00:04:05] And it started crushing bones

[00:04:08] I had to make a decision

[00:04:10] Mother

[00:04:11] It was me or the stones

[00:04:13] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:04:17] How did you escape

[00:04:18] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:04:22] How did you escape

[00:04:24] Dear Mother

[00:04:25] I'm lying on a white hot blanket

[00:04:27] Wishing you were here

[00:04:30] I'm a thousand miles from Cairo

[00:04:33] And it's taken me a year to get this far

[00:04:40] To get this far

[00:04:44] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:04:51] How did you escape

[00:04:57] Riding on Joey's camel

[00:05:02] How did you escape
