《Clarissa Jones(LP Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Clarissa Jones - Tom Paxton

[00:00:10] Clarissa Jones got bit on the heel

[00:00:12] By a rat and she hit it with a broom

[00:00:14] He ran to the corner and stood there grinning

[00:00:17] Like he owned the god damn room

[00:00:19] Clarissa Jones threw an iron at the rat

[00:00:21] And the rat just seemed to say Fine

[00:00:24] He twitched his tail in the corner and said

[00:00:26] You've got to go to sleep sometime

[00:00:39] Clarissa Jones's kid aged 16 hated his heavy old shoes

[00:00:43] He wanted fine strides like the studs on the street

[00:00:46] And they'd know he'd been paying his dues

[00:00:48] Clarissa Jones's kid got busted

[00:00:50] She was three days gettin' the news

[00:00:53] They gave him a meal

[00:00:54] A shower and a uniform

[00:00:55] And two old heavy shoes

[00:00:57] Clarissa Jones where are you going

[00:01:00] It's cold and the wind is blowing through your bones

[00:01:05] And where where

[00:01:06] Where is your man Clarissa Jones

[00:01:24] Clarissa Jones carried bedpans

[00:01:26] Swept up changed sheets and mopped the halls

[00:01:28] The doctors said she was a very good worker

[00:01:31] Clarissa Jones knew them all

[00:01:33] Now Clarissa Jones sits in her window

[00:01:35] With her paper reading

[00:01:36] How they burned the next street flat

[00:01:38] She's reading about the trouble

[00:01:39] She ought to write a letter saying

[00:01:41] Hey it never happened like that

[00:01:42] Clarissa Jones where are you going

[00:01:45] It's cold and the wind is blowing through your bones

[00:01:49] And where where where is your man Clarissa Jones

[00:02:09] Mr William Hawkins rose early

[00:02:10] Shaved dressed carefully and drank his tea

[00:02:14] He hit the desk at nine

[00:02:15] Thanks to the Board of Opportunity

[00:02:18] On his very first day

[00:02:19] This boss went to great lengths

[00:02:21] To make him feel at home

[00:02:23] And his first assignment

[00:02:24] Was a disposses on Miss Clarissa Jones

[00:02:28] Clarissa Jones where are you going

[00:02:30] It's cold and the wind is blowing through your bones

[00:02:35] And where where where is your man Clarissa Jones

[00:02:42] Ah where where where is your man Clarissa Jones
