《Roosevelt And Ira Lee》歌词

[00:00:00] Roosevelt And Ira Lee - Tony Joe White

[00:00:02] This is about two cats

[00:00:05] They're sittin' down by a river in the swamps

[00:00:08] They're sittin' down on the logs

[00:00:10] One of them is kind of a big fellow

[00:00:11] And the other one is a little bit smaller

[00:00:13] And he's got a long billed cap

[00:00:16] And they're sittin' there ponderin'

[00:00:17] On what they're gonna do for the night

[00:00:19] And anything the big guy decides

[00:00:22] On the little guy's for

[00:00:23] 'Cause he digs him he's cool

[00:00:25] So it's called roosevelt and ira lee

[00:00:36] The river was dark and muddy

[00:00:39] And the moon was on the rise

[00:00:43] And all of the creatures in the swampland

[00:00:47] Had woke up to feed for the night

[00:00:51] Roosevelt and ira lee huh were sittin' there on a log

[00:00:58] Ira lee turned to roosevelt and said

[00:01:02] I'd sure like to have a mess of bull frog

[00:01:05] He said yeah yeah lawd sure would taste good

[00:01:20] So they slipped on their rubber boots

[00:01:25] And walked down to the water's edge

[00:01:28] And right away they knew

[00:01:30] That the night would be a bummer

[00:01:32] 'Cause ira lee stepped

[00:01:34] On a water mossacin

[00:01:35] He said uh uh lawd

[00:01:43] Somebody help me

[00:02:10] Ira lee turned to roosevelt

[00:02:14] When he quit his screamin' and kickin'

[00:02:17] And he said let's forget about the bullfrog legs

[00:02:21] And go out and steal us some chickens

[00:02:24] And ol' roosevelt said like this now

[00:02:26] Yeah yeah ooh it sure would taste good

[00:02:34] Yes it would i love a chicken

[00:02:40] Oh the river was dark and muddy
