Red Sovine - Teddy Bear слова песни
I was on the outskirts of a little southern town
Tryin` to reach my destination
Before the sun went down
The old CB was blarin` away on channel 1-9
When there came
A little boy`s voice on the radio line
And he said Breaker 1-9 Is anyone there
Come on back truckers
And talk to Teddy Bear
Well I keyed the mike and said
You got it Teddy Bear
And a little boy`s voice came back on the air
Preciate the break Who we got on that end
I told him my handle And then he began
Now I`m not supposed to bother you fellows out there
Mom says you`re busy And for me to stay off the air
But you see
I get lonely and it helps to talk
`Cause that`s about all I can do
I`m crippled
And I can`t walk
I came back and told him to fire up that mike
And I`d talk to him As long as he liked
This was my dad`s radio The little boy said
But I guess it`s mine and mom`s now
`Cause my daddy`s dead
Dad had a wreck about a month ago
He was trying to get home in a blindin` snow
Mom has to work now To make ends meet
And I`m not much help
With my two crippled feet
She says not to worry That we`ll make it alright
But I hear her crying Sometimes late at night
You know there`s one thing
I want more than anything else to see
Aw, I know you guys are too busy to bother with me
But you see My dad used to take me for rides
When he was home But....
I guess that`s all over now Since my daddy`s gone
Not one breaker came on the old CB
As that little crippled boy Talked with me
I tried hard to swallow A lump
That just wouldn`t stay down
As I thought about my boy Back in Greenville Town
Dad was going to take mom and me with him Later on this year
Why l remember him saying
Someday this old truck will be yours Teddy Bear
But I know I`ll never get to ride an 18-wheeler again
But this old base will keep me in touch
With all my trucker friends
Teddy Bear`s gonna back on out now And leave you alone
`Cause it`s about time for Mom to come home
But you give me a shout when you`re passin` through
And I`ll sure be happy to come back to you
Well I came back and I said
Uh...Before you go 10-10
What`s your home 20 Little CB friend
Well he gave me his address And I didn`t once hesitate
`Cause this hot load of freight Was just gonna have to wait
I turned that truck around on a dime
And headed straight for Jackson Street, 229
And as I rounded the corner Oh I got one heck of a shock
l8 wheelers were lined up for three city blocks
Why I guess every driver for miles around
Had caught Teddy Bear`s call
And that little crippled boy was having a ball
For as fast as one driver would carry him in
Another would carry him to his truck And take off again
Well you better believe I took my turn at riding Teddy Bear
And then I carried him back in And put him down in his chair
And buddy if I never live to see happiness again
I want you to know I saw it that day
In the face of that little man
We took up a collection for him
Before his mama got home
And each driver said goodbye
And then they all were gone
He shook my hand with a mile-long grin
And said So long trucker
I`ll catch ya again
Well I hit the Interstate With tears in my eyes
I turned on the radio And I got another surprise
Breaker 1-9 Came a voice on the air
Just one word of thanks From Mama Teddy Bear
We wish each and every one A special prayer for you
Cause, You just made my little boy`s Dream come true
I`ll sign off now
Before I start to cry
May God ride with ya
10-4
And goodbye
