歌词
A thick cloud caught a piper cub's tail
The match struck blue on a railroad rail
The old puff horse was just pullin' through
And a man wore a peg leg, forever
Among the bum where the hobos run
The air breaks with filthy chatter
Oh I don't care, there's no place there
I don't think it matters
My skin's blazin' through
And my clothes in tatters
And the railroad looked like a "why"
Up the hill of ladders
One shoe fell on the gravel
One stick poked down
Gray of age fell down on a pair of ears
An eagle shined through my – whole watch pocket
A gingham girl, baby girl, passed me by in tears
A jackrabbit raised his folded ears
A beautiful sagebrush jackrabbit
And an oriole sang like an orange, his breast full o' worms
And his tail clawed the evenin' like a hammer
His wings took to air like a bomber
And my rain can caught me a cup o' water
When I got into town, odd jobs, ma'am
Ah, your horse, I'll fodder
I'm the roundhouse man, I once was your father
A little up the road, a wooden – candy-stripe barber pole
And above it read a sign, "Painless Parker"
Licorice twisted around under a fly
And a youngster cocked her eye
God, before me, if I'm not crazy, is my daughter
Come, little one, with your little ole dimpled fingers
Gimme one and I'll buy you a cherry phosphate
Take you down to the foamin' brine and water
And show you the wooden tits on the Goddess
With the pole out, full sail, that tempted away your peg leg father
I was shanghaied
By a high-hat beaver mustache man
And his pirate friend
I woke up in vomit 'n beer in a banana bin
And a soft lass with brown skin
Bore me seven babies with snappin' black eyes
And beautiful ebony skin
And here it is, I'm with you, my daughter, thirty years
Away can make a seaman's eyes, a roundhouse man's eyes
Flow out water, salt water
