Billy Bragg - Walt Whitmans Niece слова песни
Last night or the night before that,I wont say which nightA seaman friend of mine,Ill not say which seaman,Walked up to a big old building,I wont say which building,And would have not walked up the stairs,Not to say which stairs,If there had not been two girls,Leaving out the names of those two girls.I recall a door, a big long room,Ill not tell which room,I remember a deep blue rug,But I cant say which rug,A girl took down a book of poems,Not to say which book of poems,And as she read, I lay my head,And I cant tell which head,Down in her lap, and I can mention which lapMy seaman buddy and girl moved offAfter a couple of pages and there I was,All night long, laying and listeningAnd forgetting the poems.And as well as I could recallOr my seaman buddy could recollect,My girl had told us that she was a niece,Of walt whitman, but now which niece,And it takes a night and a girlAnd a book of this kindA long long time to find its way backWords: woody guthrie 1946 - music: billy bragg 1997
