《The Bottomless Lake》歌词

[00:00:01] The Bottomless Lake - John Prine

[00:00:11] Heres the story of a man and his family

[00:00:13] And a big trip that they took

[00:00:16] Well I heard all about in a restaurant

[00:00:19] And I read it in a history book

[00:00:22] They rented a car at the erie canal

[00:00:24] But the car didn't have no brake

[00:00:27] Said ma to pa my God this car

[00:00:30] Is gonna fall into the bottomless lake

[00:00:38] Well mama turned to daddy with a pale face

[00:00:41] Said Ive done something horribly wrong

[00:00:43] Well the waters still runnin in the bathtub

[00:00:46] And I think I left the kitchen light on

[00:00:49] Then I heard a crash the car when splash

[00:00:51] And the compass rolled around and around

[00:00:54] Oh for heavens sake we fell in a lake

[00:00:58] And I think were all gonna drown

[00:00:59] We are falling down

[00:01:01] Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground

[00:01:03] Smoke em if you got em

[00:01:04] I'm so scared I can hardly breathe

[00:01:08] I may never see my sweatheart again

[00:01:15] There was plenty of food in the backseat

[00:01:18] And the windows were rolled up tight

[00:01:21] So we all nibbled on a chicken leg

[00:01:23] Told stories way thru the night

[00:01:26] Well pa told one that he told before

[00:01:29] And the baby got a bellyache

[00:01:31] Said ma to pa my God this car

[00:01:34] Falling down a bottomless lake

[00:01:37] We are falling down

[00:01:38] Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground

[00:01:41] Smoke em if you got em

[00:01:42] I'm so scared I can hardly breathe

[00:01:45] Never say is been hard agian

[00:01:58] Poppa played the music on the radio

[00:02:01] Mama rocked the baby to sleep

[00:02:03] He said he wouldve taken the other road

[00:02:06] But he didn't think the lake was that deep

[00:02:08] Well if the ferry been there at the end of the pier

[00:02:11] Wed be half way to uncle jakes

[00:02:14] Instead of looking at fish out the window I wish

[00:02:16] Wed hit the bottom of the bottomless lake

[00:02:19] Stead of looking at fish out the window I wish

[00:02:22] Wed hit the bottom of the bottomless lake

[00:02:24] We are falling down

[00:02:26] Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground

[00:02:29] Smoke em if you got em

[00:02:30] I'm so scared I can hardly breathe

[00:02:33] Never thin is been hard agian

[00:02:46] So if youre ever goin on a big trip

[00:02:48] Ya better be careful out there

[00:02:51] Start everything on you good foot

[00:02:54] And wear clean underwear

[00:02:56] Take along a Bible in the backseat

[00:02:59] Read of david and solomon

[00:03:01] For if you make a mistake in the bottomless lake

[00:03:04] You may never see your sweetheart again

[00:03:07] If you should make a mistake in the bottomless lake

[00:03:09] You may never see your sweetheart again

[00:03:12] If you should make a mistake in the bottomless lake

[00:03:14] You may never see your sweetheart again
