《Mama Couldn’t Be Pursuaded》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Couldn't Be Persuaded - Warren Zevon

[00:00:12] Gambler ambled down a country lane

[00:00:15] Looking for a game of chance

[00:00:17] She was twenty-one or two

[00:00:19] And she knew what she wanted

[00:00:21] And she wanted that gamblin' man

[00:00:23] Her parents warned her

[00:00:25] Tried to reason with her

[00:00:26] She was determined that she wanted Bill

[00:00:29] They'd all be offended at the mention still

[00:00:32] If they heard this song which I doubt they will

[00:00:35] And my mama couldn't be persuaded

[00:00:37] When they pleaded with their daughter

[00:00:39] Don't marry that gamblin' man

[00:00:42] Mama couldn't be persuaded

[00:00:43] When they pleaded with their daughter

[00:00:45] Don't marry that gamblin' man

[00:00:48] Mama couldn't be persuaded

[00:00:49] When they pleaded with her

[00:00:51] No no nevertheless

[00:00:53] I said my mama couldn't be persuaded

[00:00:56] When they pleaded with her

[00:00:57] "Daughter don't marry that gamblin' man "

[00:01:06] Gambler tried to be a family man

[00:01:09] Though it didn't suit his style

[00:01:11] He thought he had him a winning combination

[00:01:14] So he took us where the stakes were high

[00:01:18] Her parents warned her

[00:01:19] Tried to reason with her

[00:01:21] Never kept their disappointment hid

[00:01:24] They all went to pieces when the bad luck hit

[00:01:27] Stuck in the middle I was the kid

[00:01:30] And my mama couldn't be persuaded

[00:01:32] When they pleaded with their daughter

[00:01:34] Don't marry that gamblin' man

[00:01:36] Mama couldn't be persuaded

[00:01:38] When they pleaded with their daughter

[00:01:40] Don't marry that gamblin' man

[00:01:42] Mama couldn't be persuaded

[00:01:44] When they pleaded with her

[00:01:46] No no nevertheless

[00:01:47] My Mama couldn't be persuaded

[00:01:49] When my Granny pleaded with her

[00:01:51] Not to marry that gamblin' man

[00:02:24] I said my mama couldn't be persuaded

[00:02:26] When they pleaded with their daughter

[00:02:28] Don't marry that gamblin' man

[00:02:31] Mama couldn't be persuaded

[00:02:32] When they pleaded with their daughter

[00:02:34] Don't marry that gamblin' man

[00:02:37] Mama couldn't be persuaded

[00:02:39] When they pleaded with their daughter

[00:02:40] Don't marry that gamblin' man
