[00:00:00] Sonny Boy (小滑头) - Randy Newman (兰迪·纽曼)

[00:00:00] Written by：Randy Newman

[00:00:01] It's me coming at you from the land beyond

[00:00:07] I'm up here in Heaven where I belong

[00:00:13] Gonna tell you my story about a man who's down in Hell

[00:00:18] He ain't up here anyway far as I can tell

[00:00:24] This man stole my name stole my soul

[00:00:31] They're so holy up there they don't understand

[00:00:34] But he even tried to steal my jelly roll

[00:00:37] So here it is my story

[00:00:41] Here it is from the top

[00:00:45] My name is Sonny Boy Williamson

[00:00:50] I come from Jackson Tennessee

[00:00:54] Being a man named Sonny Boy might bother you

[00:00:59] It never bothered me no

[00:01:02] My mother loved me my wife did too

[00:01:06] I had a dream and the dream come true

[00:01:11] I wrote some songs that the people knew

[00:01:14] Like Good Morning School Girl and Jackson Blue

[00:01:19] Around the time of the Great Migration

[00:01:23] The blues run up the river and across the nation

[00:01:27] I run up with 'em caused a great sensation

[00:01:31] Selling biscuits on the radio in Chicago

[00:01:36] Out on the West Side to see the sights

[00:01:40] Turned the corner see my name in lights

[00:01:44] Said I'd been playing there for 14 nights

[00:01:48] This I had to see

[00:01:53] This ugly cat was on the stage

[00:01:56] Twice my size about my age

[00:02:01] Played six songs five were mine

[00:02:04] If I said he was good I'd be lying

[00:02:08] Then he says What's my name

[00:02:10] The crowd says Sonny Boy

[00:02:12] He says What's my name

[00:02:14] They go Sonny Boy

[00:02:17] He says What's my name

[00:02:18] And I said Hold it

[00:02:21] My name is Sonny Boy Williamson

[00:02:25] The one from Jackson Tennessee

[00:02:29] Don't know who you are or where you come from

[00:02:33] But one thing I do know you ain't me son

[00:02:37] I looked in his eyes and they was red

[00:02:41] As was the rang tang hair dye all over his head

[00:02:45] Scared me so bad I ran outside

[00:02:49] And I looked for a place to hide

[00:02:54] Ran round a corner smack into a robbery

[00:02:58] They were shooting at each other but they hit me

[00:03:02] Next thing I know I came up here

[00:03:06] In the middle of my 34th year

[00:03:11] Now I'm the only Bluesman in Heaven

[00:03:19] Makes me kinda sad

[00:03:25] I'm the only one died so young

[00:03:31] Didn't have the time to do nothing bad

[00:03:36] As for Sonny Boy 2 the man who stole my name

[00:03:42] Went on to glory fortune and fame

[00:03:48] He's the one who went to England

[00:03:50] Try to teach those English boys the blues

[00:03:53] He said What do I have to lose

[00:03:56] Well it killed him yeah it killed him

[00:04:01] I'm the only Bluesman in Heaven

[00:04:10] And I'm lonely as can be

[00:04:15] Lord if you're listening hear my plea

[00:04:21] Send down a Bluesman to play the blues with me

[00:04:28] This is Sonny Boy Williamson Number One

[00:04:34] That's my story I'm done
