《The Hooker(LP Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hooker - Tom Paxton

[00:00:07] Where do you go at night

[00:00:09] Where do you go at night

[00:00:12] Wrapped in your cheap cologne

[00:00:14] Where do you go at night

[00:00:18] Down to the pit with the stinking air

[00:00:20] And the smell of the sweat

[00:00:21] And the death is there

[00:00:22] I dance for a dollar

[00:00:23] And I dance for a dime

[00:00:24] Till their eyes are begging

[00:00:25] And their pockets are mine

[00:00:27] I pick a body and I name my fee

[00:00:29] I take their money and they take me

[00:00:31] That's where I go at night

[00:00:33] That's where I go at night

[00:00:36] Don't point your finger

[00:00:39] Say your prayers at me

[00:00:41] The truth is hard but I'm gonna tell it

[00:00:44] Ah there's a whole lot of ways to sell it

[00:00:54] How do you spend your days

[00:00:56] How do you spend your days

[00:00:58] When you can sleep no more

[00:01:00] How do you spend your days

[00:01:04] I rise at four in the afternoon

[00:01:06] I take a match and the kitchen spoon

[00:01:09] I wrap my arm in an old necktie

[00:01:11] And I find religion on the very first try

[00:01:13] I wash my face and I comb my hair

[00:01:15] My looks are going but I just don't care

[00:01:18] And that's how I spend my days

[00:01:20] That's how I spend my days

[00:01:23] Don't point your finger

[00:01:25] Say your prayers at me

[00:01:28] The truth is hard but I'm gonna tell it

[00:01:30] Ah there's a whole lot of ways to sell it

[00:01:40] Where do you find your love

[00:01:42] Where do you find your love

[00:01:45] Where do you run to him

[00:01:47] Where do you find your love

[00:01:51] I find my love in an old hotel

[00:01:53] He's mean and wicked and he knows me well

[00:01:55] He takes my body he takes my mind

[00:01:57] Takes my money and he beats me blind

[00:02:00] Says he'll help me but he won't say when

[00:02:02] Sends me walking on the streets again

[00:02:04] And that's where I find my love

[00:02:07] That's where I find my love

[00:02:10] Don't point your finger

[00:02:12] Say your prayers at me

[00:02:15] The truth is hard but I'm gonna tell it

[00:02:17] Ah there's a whole lot of ways to sell it

[00:02:27] How will you spend your life

[00:02:29] How will you spend your life

[00:02:32] While ladies play at cards

[00:02:34] How will you spend your life

[00:02:38] Lying in a circle of velvet rooms

[00:02:40] Dying in six inch carpet tombs

[00:02:42] Hiding in the gutter with the aching pains

[00:02:45] Trading the years for the aching veins

[00:02:47] Dying at last when the tricks are few

[00:02:49] And I can't get action from a john like you

[00:02:52] Ah that's how I spend my life

[00:02:54] That's how I spend my life

[00:02:57] Don't point your finger

[00:02:59] Say your prayers at me

[00:03:02] The truth is hard but I'm gonna tell it

[00:03:04] Ah there's a whole lot of ways to sell it
