《Port O Call》歌词

[00:00:01] Port O Call - Bertie Higgins

[00:00:03] Written by：Bertie Higgins/Sonny Limbo

[00:00:17] I was born in Savannah '55

[00:00:21] My daddy was a man of the sea

[00:00:25] Said my mama died

[00:00:26] When she gave me my life

[00:00:29] I believed him 'cause he never lied to me

[00:00:33] And I followed in my old man's footsteps

[00:00:37] Living my life under the sail

[00:00:41] I've slept with the best and I've been drunk with the rest

[00:00:45] Fishing and fighting and raising hell

[00:00:49] Just another port o' call

[00:00:54] Another lady of the night

[00:00:58] Just upstairs and down the hall

[00:01:02] Faking love 'neath the red light

[00:01:07] Sailing 'cross the Gulf

[00:01:09] On that stormy night

[00:01:11] I was driven to New Orleans in the howling wind

[00:01:15] When I hit that devil dock

[00:01:17] I tied her down tight

[00:01:19] And went looking for a bottle and a friend

[00:01:24] That's when I saw her near Cafe d'l'Amour

[00:01:28] A faded flower out in the rain

[00:01:31] She smiled at me and said Bonjour Monsieur

[00:01:35] I was drawn to her like a moth to the flame

[00:01:39] Just another port o' call

[00:01:44] Another lady of the night

[00:01:48] Just upstairs and down the hall

[00:01:52] Faking love 'neath the red light

[00:01:57] We walked and we talked and as the night wore on

[00:02:01] She took me to her room above Bourbon Street

[00:02:05] Candlelight soft music perfume and red wine

[00:02:09] I paid the price to share her satin sheets

[00:02:13] But in the flickering light her locket caught my eye

[00:02:18] As it lay gleaming upon her breast

[00:02:21] It was fine Spanish silver with diamonds inlaid

[00:02:25] And as I reached for it she started to undress

[00:02:31] As I slowly opened it and took a look inside

[00:02:36] I saw a faded photograph

[00:02:39] My father and his young bride

[00:02:42] And on the back these simple words inscribed

[00:02:46] I love you Savannah '55

[00:02:52] Just another port o' call

[00:02:56] Another lady of the night

[00:03:00] Just upstairs and down the hall

[00:03:04] Faking love 'neath the red light

[00:03:08] Just another port o' call

[00:03:12] Another lady of the night

[00:03:16] Just upstairs and down the hall
