《Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (就像大拇指汤姆的布鲁斯) - Nina Simone (妮娜·西蒙)

[00:00:10] When you're lost in the rain in juarez

[00:00:14] And its easter time too

[00:00:20] And your gravity fails

[00:00:22] And negativity don't pull you through

[00:00:30] Don't put on any airs

[00:00:33] When you're down on rue morgue avenue

[00:00:40] They got some hungry women there

[00:00:43] And they really make a mess out of you

[00:00:55] Now if you see saint annie

[00:00:59] Please tell her thanks a lot

[00:01:05] I can not move

[00:01:07] My fingers are all in a knot

[00:01:15] I don't have the strength

[00:01:18] To get up and take another shot

[00:01:25] And my best friend my doctor

[00:01:27] Won't even say what it is I have got

[00:01:40] Sweet melinda

[00:01:43] The peasants call her the goddess of gloom

[00:01:50] She speaks good English

[00:01:53] And she invites you up into her room

[00:01:59] And you're so kind

[00:02:01] And careful not to go to her too soon

[00:02:09] And she takes your voice

[00:02:12] And leaves you howling at the moon

[00:02:29] Up on housing project hill

[00:02:33] It's either fortune or fame

[00:02:39] You can pick one or the other

[00:02:42] Though neither of them

[00:02:43] Are to be what they claim

[00:02:49] If you're looking to get silly

[00:02:52] You better go back to from where you came

[00:02:58] Because the cops don't need you

[00:03:01] And man they expect the same

[00:03:14] Now all the authorities

[00:03:18] They just stand around and boast

[00:03:23] How they blackmailed the sergeant at arms

[00:03:27] Into leaving his post

[00:03:33] And picking up my borther car

[00:03:36] Just arrived here from the coast

[00:03:42] Who looked so fine at first

[00:03:45] But left looking just like a ghost

[00:04:02] I started out on burgundy

[00:04:07] But soon hit the harder stuff

[00:04:13] Everybody said they'd stand behind me

[00:04:16] When the game got rough

[00:04:22] But the joke was on me

[00:04:24] There was nobody even there to bluff

[00:04:30] I'm going back to new york city

[00:04:34] I do believe I've had enough
