Jimmy Dean - Grasshopper Mac Clain слова песни
Me and that navy ain`t speakin` at sailin` I tell you I`m throughOn the advice of a doc I got me a shock I had to have somethin` to doThese nerves I got are from soakin` too long when the ship got hit by a planeAnd right here about four years back I met Grasshopper MacClainThe sun was a burnin` and the desert red hot when his mother drove in with a flatShe went inside to cool off with a beer and I saw her kid in the backHe lay on the seat in the swelterin` heat with hair the color of flameA red headed mite but smilin` and bright was little ol` Grasshopper MacClainI fixed her tyre and was totin` him round when she asked me how much she owedI just laughed and said boy I settle for himAnd to my surprice she drove off down the roadI figured she`d sober and come hurryin` back but for three long years she never cameAnd all that time I was mother and dad to little ol` Grasshopper MacClainI`d tell him of ships I`d sailed on the seas when I put him in bed at nightAnd that freckle faced kid was as sharp as a tack and quick as a mate for a fightI thought I`d wait till he growed a bit and let him pick out his own nameOne day he came in with a bug in his hand and he said me Grasshopper MacClainOh he`d mimic my walk and he`d mimic my talkLike my shadow he just tagged me aroundEven had to be checked every time I was checked by the navy doc over the townThe doc`d laugh and thump his little ole chest and say feller you`re right as rainThen he`d turn to me and tell me that I`d be a new manThanks to Grasshopper MacClainI guess you wonder why I`m tellin` you this well that`s why I`m here doin` timeFor a bang and a sheriff and a red headed dame that came to take what was mineOh but you should`ve seen the way he fought you could tell that kid was navy trainedBut this lonely cell wouldn`t be so much like hell if I only had Grasshopper MacClain
