《J. Edgar》歌词

[00:00:01] J Edgar - Ry Cooder

[00:00:09] Down on the farm we had a pig J Edgar was his name

[00:00:15] He'd eat up all our victuals and start back up again

[00:00:20] Just like them vacuum cleaners they sell down in the lane

[00:00:25] Well that's how J Edgar Hoover got his name

[00:00:33] Now momma baked a cherry pie and set it out to cool

[00:00:39] So we'd have something good to eat when we got home from school

[00:00:45] J Edgar climbed up on the porch and ate up all that pie

[00:00:49] When we got home that mornin' we heard our mamma cry

[00:00:54] J Edgar J Edgar just look what you've done

[00:00:59] You ate up the cherry pie that was for everyone

[00:01:04] We made it through the dusters and the hoppers too

[00:01:08] But God help us J Edgar 'cause nothin's safe from you

[00:01:22] We had an extra man named Bob he wouldn't work a lick

[00:01:27] He drank bad moonshine likker and it always made him sick

[00:01:33] We rode to church on Sunday and stayed a while in town

[00:01:38] When we reached home at suppertime poor Bob could not be found

[00:01:46] He wasn't in the parlor

[00:01:48] And he wasn't in the lane

[00:01:52] Drinking in the pantry or sleepin' in the hay

[00:01:58] His hat was in the pigpen

[00:02:00] That he always wore

[00:02:03] Poor Bob won't be drinking moonshine likker anymore

[00:02:07] J Edgar J Edgar it just don't seem fair

[00:02:12] You ate Bob our hired hand while we were at prayer

[00:02:17] Let's say a prayer for old Bob and our country too

[00:02:22] God help us J Edgar nobody's safe from you
