《Talking Sailor》歌词

[00:00:00] Talking Sailor - Woody Guthrie/The Men Of The Robert Shaw Chorale

[00:00:10] In bed with my woman just singin' the blues

[00:00:12] Heard the radio tellin' the news

[00:00:15] That the big Red Army took a hundred towns

[00:00:17] And allies droppin' them two ton bombs

[00:00:21] Started hollerin' yellin' dancin' up and down like a bullfrog

[00:00:34] Doorbell rung and in come a man

[00:00:35] I signed my name I got a telegram

[00:00:39] Said "If you wanna take a vacation trip

[00:00:42] Got a dish washin' job on a Liberty ship"

[00:00:47] Woman a-cryin' me a-flyin' out the door and down the line

[00:00:57] 'Bout two minutes I run ten blocks

[00:00:58] I come to my ship down at the dock

[00:01:02] Walked up the plank and I signed my name

[00:01:05] Blowed that whistle was gone again

[00:01:10] Right on out and down the stream

[00:01:15] Ships as fur' as my eye could see woman a-waitin'

[00:01:24] Ship loaded down with TNT all out across the rollin' sea

[00:01:30] Stood on the deck watched the fishes swim

[00:01:33] I'se a-prayin' them fish wasn't made out of tin

[00:01:38] Sharks porpoises jellybeans rainbow trouts

[00:01:46] Mudcats jugars all over that water

[00:01:56] This convoy's the biggest I ever did see

[00:01:58] Stretches all the way out across the sea

[00:02:00] And the ships blow the whistles and a-rang her bells

[00:02:03] Gonna blow them fascists all to hell

[00:02:08] Win some freedom liberty stuff like that

[00:02:22] Walked to the tail stood on the stern

[00:02:23] Lookin' at the big brass screw blade turn

[00:02:27] Listened to the sound of the engine pound

[00:02:30] Gained sixteen feet every time it went around

[00:02:34] Gettin' closer and closer look out you fascists

[00:02:39] I'm just one of the merchant crew

[00:02:42] I belong to the union called the N M U

[00:02:45] I'm a union man from head to toe

[00:02:48] I'm U S A and C I O fightin' out here on the waters

[00:02:57] To win some freedom on the land
