《Billy the Bum(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Billy The Bum (LP版) - John Prine

[00:00:13] Billy the bum

[00:00:16] Lived by the thumb

[00:00:18] And sang of the hobo's delight

[00:00:23] He'd prove he could run

[00:00:26] Twice as fast as the sun

[00:00:29] By losing his shadow at night

[00:00:34] Now he loved every girl

[00:00:36] This curly headed world

[00:00:39] But no one will know it seems

[00:00:44] For two twisted legs and a childhood disease

[00:00:49] Left billy just a bum in his dreams

[00:00:54] And he was just a gentle boy

[00:01:00] A real florescent light

[00:01:05] Cried pennies on sunday morning

[00:01:10] Laughs nickels on saturday night

[00:01:14] And your bullets they can't harm him

[00:01:19] Nor your knives tear him apart

[00:01:25] Humiliation killed him

[00:01:29] God bless his little heart

[00:01:47] Now he lived all alone

[00:01:50] In a run down home

[00:01:52] Near the side of the old railroad track

[00:01:57] Where the trains used to run

[00:02:00] Carrying freight by the ton

[00:02:02] Blow the whistle as billy'd wave back

[00:02:07] But the children around

[00:02:10] Billy's home town

[00:02:12] Seemed to have nothin' better to do

[00:02:17] Then run around his house

[00:02:19] With their tongues from their mouth

[00:02:22] And make fun of that cripped old fool

[00:02:27] And he was just a gentle boy

[00:02:32] A real florescent light

[00:02:37] Cried pennies on sunday morning

[00:02:42] Laughs nickels on saturday night

[00:02:46] And your bullets they can't harm him

[00:02:51] Nor your knives tear him apart

[00:02:57] Humiliation killed him

[00:03:01] God bless his little heart

[00:03:18] Now some folks they wait

[00:03:21] And some folks they pray

[00:03:23] For jesus to rise up again

[00:03:28] But none these folks

[00:03:31] In their holy cloaks

[00:03:33] Ever took billy on as a friend

[00:03:38] For pity's a crime

[00:03:41] And ain't worth a dime

[00:03:43] To a person who's really in need

[00:03:48] Just treat 'em the same

[00:03:50] As you would your own name

[00:03:53] Next time that your heart starts to bleed

[00:03:58] And he was just a gentle boy

[00:04:03] A real florescent light

[00:04:07] Cried pennies on sunday morning

[00:04:13] Laughs nickels on saturday night

[00:04:17] And your bullets they can't harm him

[00:04:22] Nor your knives tear him apart

[00:04:28] Humiliation killed him

[00:04:32] God bless his little heart
