Rod Stewart - TOM TRAUBERT`S BLUES(Waltzing Matilda) слова песни
(Tom Waits)
Wasted and wounded
And it ain`t what the moon did
I got what I paid for now
See you tomorrow
Hey Frank can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing Matilda waltzing Matilda
You`ll go waltzing Matilda with me
I`m an innocent victim
of a blinded alley
And I`m tired of all these soldiers here
No-one speaks English
And everything`s broken
And my strength is soaking away
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You`ll go a waltzing Malitda with me
Now the dogs they are barking
and the taxi cab`s parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me
You tore my shirt open
And I`m down on my knees tonight
Old bushmills I staggered
You buried the dagger
Your silhouette window light
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You`ll go a waltzing Matilda with me
Now I`ve lost my St. Christopher
Now that I kissed her
And the one-arm bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman
with the cold-blooded sigh
And the girls down by the striptease shows go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You`ll go a waltzing Matilda with me
No I don`t want your sympathy
Fugitives say
that the streets aren`t for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnet
and the ghost that sells memories
Want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You`ll go waltzing Matilda with me
And you can ask any sailor
And the keys from the jailor
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That Matilda`s the defendant
She killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You`ll go waltzing Matilda with me
And it`s a battered old suitcase
in a hotel someplace
And a wound that would never heal
No prima donnas the perfume is on
and old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street-sweepers,
The night watchmen flame-keepers
And goodnight Matilda too
Goodnight Matilda too.
