《Cold River》歌词

[00:00:00] Cold River - John Hiatt

[00:00:10] Well he packed up his suitcase

[00:00:12] 'Cause the deal gone down

[00:00:18] She was slipping on her stockings

[00:00:21] Lord it made the sweetest sound

[00:00:27] There was a baby in the reeds

[00:00:29] Along the river outside of town

[00:00:36] As he wound his pocket watch

[00:00:38] To set time spinning em all around

[00:00:44] Wasn't long they'd be forgetting

[00:00:47] This old rainy texas day

[00:00:53] Little fella wasn't meant

[00:00:56] For this old world anyway

[00:01:02] Gambling and whoring

[00:01:05] Hiding from plain view

[00:01:11] Tell me which one of us rounders

[00:01:14] Would you trust this poor child to

[00:01:17] You just roll on cold river

[00:01:23] Wash little moses down

[00:01:27] We've got business to attend to

[00:01:33] In Chicago town in Chicago town

[00:01:55] They rolled out of austing

[00:01:57] On some kind of cattle train

[00:02:04] She'd been with him for a year

[00:02:06] Didn't know his second name

[00:02:12] He worked the small towns hustling nine ball

[00:02:15] She hooked the truck stops too

[00:02:21] They were trying to make Chicago

[00:02:23] Before the winter come blowing through

[00:02:30] Some trucker sprang a leak

[00:02:32] In California they supposed

[00:02:38] Started working arizona

[00:02:41] Lord she missed the bloody rose

[00:02:47] They rambled through the southwest

[00:02:50] Making money and making time

[00:02:56] But they never could find no help

[00:02:58] Not a doctor not that kind

[00:03:02] You just roll on cold river

[00:03:08] Wash little moses down

[00:03:12] We've got business to attend to

[00:03:18] In Chicago town in Chicago town

[00:03:58] The kind of life we're living

[00:04:00] He'd only slow us down

[00:04:07] Ain't good for nothing anyway

[00:04:09] Just rambling town to town

[00:04:12] So you just roll on cold river

[00:04:18] Wash little moses down

[00:04:23] We've got business to attend to

[00:04:28] In Chicago town in Chicago town

[00:04:51] Well he unpacked his suitcase

[00:04:53] She pulled her stockings down

[00:04:59] Started dreaming up a pool hall

[00:05:02] And shooting up a round

[00:05:08] She thought about tomorrow

[00:05:11] When the money rolled around

[00:05:17] That night they slept like babies

[00:05:20] In Chicago town
