Mark Knopfler - The Ragpicker`s Dream слова песни
When Jack Frost came for ChristmasWith a brass monkey dateThe rail-king and the scarecrowHopped a Florida freightAnd they blew on their paper cupsAnd stared through the steamThen they drank half a bottleOf Ragpicker`s Dream whereThe whiskey keeps followingCold pitchers of beerMe and my associateLike the clientele here getThe onions and the `tatersRib-eyes on the grillToothpicks and luckiesAnd a coffee refill asThe rail-king lay rockingHe was leaving the groundThen he was flying like Santa ClausOver the town whereHe came to the windowOf a house by a streamIt was a family ChristmasIn the Ragpicker`s Dream thereWere kids at the tableAll aglow in the lightMusic in the wintertimeSure carries at night thereWas turkey and gravyPie and ice creamAnd gifts for each and everyoneIn the Ragpicker`s Dream whereThe red-eye keeps tumblingIn our glasses of beerMe and my associateLike the service in here there`sA ten for your troubleYou have beautiful hairMake the last one two doublesIt`s a cold one out there whereThe scarecrow and the rail-kingHave started to danceBut a nightstick and a billyclubWon`t give peace a chance hereI think they went thatawaysYour song and dance teamHeading home for the holidaysWith the Ragpicker`s Dream onHis knees like a fighterThe rail-riding kingLike a sack of potatoesLike a bull in the ring whereThe scarecrow falls overWith a tear in the seamHome for the roverIn the Ragpicker`s Dream whereThe red-eye keeps tumblingLike tears in our beerMe and my associateLike the ambience here whereThey cornered two castawaysIn a white flashlight beamMerry Christmas and happy daysIn the Ragpicker`s Dream
