《Mr. Shorty》歌词

[00:00:00] Mr Shorty - Marty Robbins

[00:00:08] Nobody knew where he came from

[00:00:11] They only knew he came in

[00:00:15] Slowly he walked to the end of the bar

[00:00:18] And he ordered up one slug of gin

[00:00:22] Well I could see that he wasn't a large man

[00:00:26] I could tell that he wasn't too tall

[00:00:30] I judged him to be about five foot three

[00:00:33] And his voice was a soft texas drawl

[00:00:37] Said he was needing some wages

[00:00:41] Fore he could ride for the west

[00:00:45] Said he could do most all kind of work

[00:00:48] Said he could ride with the best

[00:00:52] There in his blue eyes was sadness

[00:00:56] That comes from the need of a friend

[00:01:00] And tho' he tried he still couldn't hide

[00:01:03] The loneliness there deep within

[00:01:07] Said he would work thru the winter

[00:01:11] For thirty a month and his board

[00:01:15] I started to say where he might land a job

[00:01:18] When a fellow came in thru the door

[00:01:22] And I could tell he was looking for trouble

[00:01:26] By the way that he came stomping in

[00:01:29] He told me to leave shorty there by himself

[00:01:33] Come down and wait on a man

[00:01:37] The eyes of the little man narrowed

[00:01:40] The smile disappeared from his face

[00:01:44] Gone was the friendliness that I had seen

[00:01:47] And a wild look of hate took it's place

[00:01:51] But the big one continued to mock him

[00:01:55] And he told me that I'd better go

[00:01:59] Find him a couple of glasses of milk

[00:02:03] Then maybe shorty would grow

[00:02:06] When the little man spoke there was stillness

[00:02:10] He made sure that everyone heard

[00:02:13] Slowly he stepped away from the bar

[00:02:17] And I still remember these words

[00:02:21] Oh it's plain that you're looking for trouble

[00:02:25] Trouble's what I try to shun

[00:02:28] If that's what you want then that's what you'll get

[00:02:32] 'Cause cowboy we're both packing guns

[00:02:36] His hand was already positioned

[00:02:39] His feet wide apart on the floor

[00:02:43] I hadn't noticed but there on his hip

[00:02:46] Was a short barreled bad forty our

[00:02:50] It was plain he was ready and waiting

[00:02:54] He leaned a bit forward and said

[00:02:58] When you call me shorty say Mister my friend

[00:03:01] Or maybe you'd rather be dead

[00:03:05] In the room was a terrible silence

[00:03:08] As the big one stepped out on the floor

[00:03:12] All drinking stopped and the tick of the clock

[00:03:16] Said death would wait ten seconds more

[00:03:20] He cursed once or twice in a whisper

[00:03:23] And he said with a snarl on his lips

[00:03:27] Nobody's Mister to me little man

[00:03:30] And he grabbed for the gun on his hip

[00:03:34] But the little man's hand was like lightning

[00:03:38] The bad forty four was the same

[00:03:42] The forty four spoke and it said lead and smoke

[00:03:45] Seventeen inches of flame

[00:03:49] For the big one had never cleared leather

[00:03:53] Beaten before he could start

[00:03:56] A little round hole had appeared on his shirt

[00:04:00] The bullet went clear thru his heart

[00:04:04] The little man stood there a moment

[00:04:07] Then holstered the bad forty four

[00:04:11] It's always this way so I never stay

[00:04:15] Then slowly he walked out the door

[00:04:18] Nobody knew where he came from

[00:04:22] They won't forget he came by

[00:04:26] They won't forget how a forty four gun

[00:04:29] One night made the difference in size

[00:04:33] As for me I'll remember the sadness

[00:04:37] Shown in the eyes of the man

[00:04:40] If we meet someday you can bet I would say

[00:04:43] That it's me Mr Shorty your friend
