《Homeless Brother(Live/1976)》歌词

[00:00:00] Homeless Brother - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)

[00:00:00] I was walking by the

[00:00:02] Graveyard late last friday night

[00:00:06] I heard somebody yelling it sounded like a fight

[00:00:12] It was just a drunken hobo dancing circles in the

[00:00:17] Night

[00:00:18] Pouring whiskey on the headstones in the blue moonlight

[00:00:25] So often have I wondered where these homeless brothers go

[00:00:31] Down in some hidden valley

[00:00:34] Were their sorrows cannot show

[00:00:37] Where the police cannot find them where the wanted men

[00:00:42] Can go

[00:00:43] There's freedom when your

[00:00:45] Walking even though you're walking slow

[00:00:50] Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you

[00:00:55] Can

[00:00:56] That homeless brother is my friend

[00:01:02] It's hard to be a pack rat it's hard to

[00:01:06] Be a 'bo

[00:01:08] But living's so much harder

[00:01:10] Where the heartless people go

[00:01:13] Somewhere the dogs are barking and the children seem to

[00:01:18] Know

[00:01:19] That jesus on the highway was a lost hobo

[00:01:26] And they hear the holy silence of the

[00:01:30] Temples in

[00:01:31] The hill

[00:01:33] And they see the ragged tatters as another kind of

[00:01:37] Thrill

[00:01:39] And they envy him the sunshine and they pity him

[00:01:43] The chill

[00:01:45] And they're sad to do their living for some other

[00:01:49] Kind of thrill

[00:01:52] Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you

[00:01:57] Can

[00:01:58] That homeless brother is my friend

[00:02:04] Somewhere there was a woman somewhere there was a child

[00:02:10] Somewhere there was a cottage where the marigolds grew wild

[00:02:16] But some where's just like nowhere when you leave it

[00:02:19] For a while

[00:02:21] You'll find the broken hearted when you're travelling jungle style

[00:02:29] Down the bowels of a broken land where numbers live

[00:02:33] Like men

[00:02:35] Where those who keep their senses have them taken back

[00:02:39] Again

[00:02:41] Where the night stick cracks with crazy rage where madmen

[00:02:46] Don't

[00:02:46] Pretend

[00:02:47] Where wealth has no beginning and poverty no end

[00:02:53] Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you

[00:02:58] Can

[00:03:00] That homeless brother is my friend

[00:03:05] The ghosts of highway royalty have vanished in the night

[00:03:11] The Whitman wanderer

[00:03:13] Walking toward a glowing inner light

[00:03:17] The children have grown older

[00:03:20] And the cops have gripped us tight

[00:03:24] There's no spot round the melting pot for free

[00:03:27] Men in their flight

[00:03:31] And you who leave on promises

[00:03:34] And prosper as you please

[00:03:37] The victim of your riches often dies of your disease

[00:03:43] He can't hear the factory whistle

[00:03:46] Just the lonesome freight train's

[00:03:48] Wheeze

[00:03:49] He's living on good fortune

[00:03:52] He ain't dying on his knees

[00:03:56] Smash your bottle on a gravestone

[00:03:59] And live while you can

[00:04:02] That homeless brother is my friend

[00:04:08] That homeless brother is my friend
