《30，000 Pounds of Bananas(Live; 1975)》歌词

[00:00:05] It was just after dark when the truck started down

[00:00:44] The hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania

[00:00:50] Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas

[00:00:58] Carrying thirty thousand pounds

[00:01:01] Hit it Big John

[00:01:03] Of bananas

[00:01:13] He was a young driver

[00:01:17] Just out on his second job

[00:01:20] And he was carrying the next day's pasty fruits

[00:01:23] For everyone in that coal-scarred city

[00:01:27] Where children play without despair

[00:01:30] In backyard slag-piles and folks manage to eat each day

[00:01:36] Just about thirty thousand pounds of bananas

[00:01:44] Yes just about thirty thousand pounds

[00:01:47] Scream it again John

[00:01:56] He passed a sign that he should have seen

[00:01:58] Saying shift to low gear a fifty dollar fine my friend

[00:02:04] He was thinking perhaps about the warm-breathed woman

[00:02:07] Who was waiting at the journey's end

[00:02:11] He started down the two mile drop

[00:02:13] The curving road that wound from the top of the hill

[00:02:19] He was pushing on through the shortening miles that ran down to the depot

[00:02:25] Just a few more miles to go

[00:02:28] Then he'd go home and have her ease his long cramped day away

[00:02:33] And the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas

[00:02:41] Yes the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas

[00:02:57] He was picking speed as the city spread its twinkling lights below him

[00:03:04] But he paid no heed as the shivering thoughts of the nights

[00:03:07] Delights went through him

[00:03:10] His foot nudged the brakes to slow him down

[00:03:12] But the pedal floored easy without a sound

[00:03:14] He said Christ

[00:03:15] It was funny how he had named the only man who could save him now

[00:03:21] He was trapped inside a dead-end hellslide

[00:03:24] Riding on his fear-hunched back

[00:03:26] Was every one of those yellow green

[00:03:29] I'm telling you thirty thousand pounds of bananas

[00:03:35] Yes there were thirty thousand pounds of bananas

[00:03:53] He barely made the sweeping curve that led into the steepest grade

[00:04:00] And he missed the thankful passing bus at ninety miles an hour

[00:04:04] And he said God make it a dream

[00:04:08] As he rode his last ride down

[00:04:12] And he said God make it a dream

[00:04:15] As he rode his last ride down

[00:04:18] And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars

[00:04:21] Clipped off thirteen telephone poles

[00:04:22] Hit two houses bruised eight trees

[00:04:24] And Blue-Crossed seven people

[00:04:25] It was then he lost his head

[00:04:27] Not to mention an arm or two before he stopped

[00:04:36] And he slid for four hundred yards

[00:04:40] Along the hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania

[00:04:46] All those thirty thousand pounds of bananas

[00:05:01] You know the man who told me about it on the bus

[00:05:16] As it went up the hill out of Scranton Pennsylvania

[00:05:23] He shrugged his shoulders he shook his head

[00:05:28] And he said

[00:05:33] And this is exactly what he said

[00:05:42] Boy that sure must've been something

[00:05:47] Just imagine thirty thousand pounds of bananas

[00:05:59] Yes there were thirty thousand pounds of mashed bananas

[00:06:04] Of bananas

[00:06:05] Just bananas

[00:06:06] Thirty thousand pounds

[00:06:31] Of Bananas

[00:06:32] Not no driver now

[00:06:38] Just bananas

[00:06:41] From Greatest Stories Live：Ending number one

[00:06:47] Yes we have no bananas

[00:06:51] We have no bananas today

[00:07:03] Spoken：And if that wasn't enough

[00:07:05] Yes we have no bananas

[00:07:14] Bananas in Scranton P A

[00:07:15] From Greatest Stories Live：Ending 2：

[00:07:19] A woman walks into her room where her child lies sleeping

[00:07:32] And when she sees his eyes are closed

[00:07:35] She sits there silently weeping

[00:07:50] And though she lives in Scranton Pennsylvania

[00:08:34] She never ever eats Bananas

[00:09:21] Not one of thirty thousand pounds

[00:10:31] Of bananas
