《The Great American Bum》歌词

[00:00:02] Come all you jolly jokers

[00:00:03] If you want to have some fun

[00:00:05] And listen while I relate the tale

[00:00:07] Of the Great American Bum

[00:00:09] From the east and west and north and south

[00:00:11] Like a swarm of bees they come

[00:00:13] They sleep in the dirt and they wear a shirt

[00:00:14] That's dirty and full of crumb

[00:00:16] I am a bum a jolly old bum

[00:00:18] And I live like a royal Turk

[00:00:20] And I have good luck

[00:00:20] And I bum all my chuck

[00:00:21] And to heck with the man that works

[00:00:25] It's early in the morning

[00:00:26] When the dew is on the ground

[00:00:28] The bum arises from his nest

[00:00:30] And gazes all around

[00:00:32] Well going east they're loaded

[00:00:33] And going west sealed tight

[00:00:35] I reckon we'll have to ride

[00:00:37] Aboard the fast express tonight

[00:00:39] I am a bum a jolly old bum

[00:00:40] And I live like a royal Turk

[00:00:42] And I have good luck

[00:00:43] And I bum all my chuck

[00:00:44] And to heck with the man that works

[00:00:47] I beat my way from Frisco

[00:00:49] To the rockbound coast of Maine

[00:00:51] From Canada to Mexico

[00:00:52] And then all the way back again

[00:00:57] Well I met a man the other day

[00:00:59] That I never met before

[00:01:00] And he asked me if I wanted a job

[00:01:02] A shoveling iron ore

[00:01:04] I asked what the wages was

[00:01:05] And he said "Ten cents a ton"

[00:01:07] I said "Oh fella go scratch your neck

[00:01:10] I'd rather be on the bum "

[00:01:11] I am a bum a jolly old bum

[00:01:13] And I live like a royal Turk

[00:01:15] And I have good luck

[00:01:16] And I bum all my chuck

[00:01:17] And to heck with the man that works

[00:01:19] Oh lady would you be kind enough

[00:01:21] To give me something to eat

[00:01:22] A piece of bread and butter

[00:01:24] And a tender slice of meat

[00:01:26] Some apple pie and custard

[00:01:27] Just to tickle my appetite

[00:01:29] For really I'm so hungry

[00:01:31] Don't know where I'll sleep tonight

[00:01:33] I am a bum a jolly old bum

[00:01:34] And I live like a royal Turk

[00:01:36] And I have good luck

[00:01:37] And I bum all my chuck

[00:01:38] And to heck with the man that works
