《Tupelo Mississippi Flash》歌词

[00:00:00] I'm gonna tell you a story that's all about

[00:00:03] This job I had one time as a talent scout, hmm.

[00:00:07] I had a hard day at the office and the boss wasn't in town

[00:00:10] The day this hired legged guitar picker just happened to come around.

[00:00:15] Well, he walks in my office with a great big grin,

[00:00:19] And folks that's where my story really begins.

[00:00:27] He said, 'Son my name is Boregard Rippy.

[00:00:30] I come to you from Tupelo Mississippi.

[00:00:33] I write songs that'll sing like a bird,

[00:00:35] I play licks on my guitar like you ain't never heard.

[00:00:38] But I'm down on my luck and things are just a little slack.

[00:00:42] I gotta quarter in my pocket and a shirt on my back.

[00:00:45] But you buy me some supper and give me a place I can sleep

[00:00:48] He said 'I'll sing you some songs that'll rock your head to sleep.

[00:00:52] I got talent boy. Said back home they call me the Tupelo Mississippi Flash

[00:01:08] Well I knew I was in a room with some kind of a nut

[00:01:11] When he pulled out that pack of used cigarette butts.

[00:01:14] So that's when I told him 'We can't use you today'

[00:01:17] So I handed the boy a dollar and sent him on his way

[00:01:20] Well the boss got back and we both had a laugh

[00:01:23] When I told him 'bout the Tupelo Mississippi Flash

[00:01:25] And pretty soon I had the story circling around

[00:01:28] About this Mississippi nut that we had in our town.

[00:01:31] I said, 'watch him everybody, the boy's squirrelly!

[00:01:34] He walks around calling himself the Tupelo Mississippi Flash.'

[00:01:49] Well it happened one day while I was driving to my home

[00:01:52] I just happened to have my car radio on.

[00:01:55] When I heard the jockey raving about a brand new smash

[00:01:58] By a kid called the Tupelo Mississippi Flash

[00:02:01] I almost wrecked my automobile

[00:02:03] I went through a red light

[00:02:06] I hit the traffic cop....Why??

[00:02:09] Well my story's got an ending and it's short and sweet

[00:02:12] The boss man he fired me and left me out in the street

[00:02:16] But I got a new job now and I'm as learnin' real fast

[00:02:19] I'm drivin' the bus for the Tupelo Mississippi Flash

[00:02:24] And his Cadillac I'm driving that for him too

[00:02:27] And that yacht he's got.

[00:02:30] And is there a plane??

[00:02:32] Well chauffeur, chauffeur I hear him say

[00:02:35] Tupelo Mississippi, who ever heard of it...........
