Tom Waits - Whislin Past The Graveyard текст песни

Текст
Well I come in on a night train

With an arm full of box cars

On the wings of a magpie

Cross a hooligan night

And I busted up a chifforobe

Way out by the cocomo

Cooked up a mess a mulligan

And got into a fight

Chorus:

Whistlin past the graveyard

Steppin on a crack

Im a mean motherhubbard

Papa one eyed jack

You propably seen me sleepin

Out by the railroad tracks

Go on and ask the prince of darkness

What about all thet smoke

Come from the stack

Sometimes I kill myself a jacket

Suck out all the blood

Steal myself a stationwagon

Drivin through the mud

Chorus

I know you seen my headlights

And the honkin of my horn

Im callin out my bloodhounds

Chase the devil through the corn

Last night I chugged the mississippi

Now that suckers dry as a bone

Born in a taxi cab

Im never comin home

Chorus

My eyes have seen the glory

Of the draining of the ditch

I only come to baton rouge

To find myself a witch

Im-ona snatch me up a

Couple of em every time it rains

You see a locomotive

Probably thinkin its a train

Chorus

What you think is the sunshine

Is just a twinkle in my eye

That ring around my fingers

Just the 4th of july

When I get a little bit lonesome

And a tear falls from my cheek

Theres gonna be an ocean in

The middle of the week

Chorus

I rode into town on a night train

With an arm full of box cars

On the wings of a magpie

Cross a hooligan night

Im-ona tear me off a rainbow

And wear it for a tie

I never told the truth

So I can never tell a lie

Chorus
