《How Have You Been(2007 Remastered Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] How Have You Been - John Sebastian

[00:00:00] How have you been my darling children

[00:00:10] While I have been away in the west

[00:00:18] Though you are strangers

[00:00:22] I feel that I know you

[00:00:27] By the way that you treat me

[00:00:31] And offer to feed me

[00:00:34] And egarly ask if I'll stay for a rest

[00:00:43] Now sit yourselves down in a pile here before me

[00:00:50] I wish I had presents for each of your smiles

[00:00:57] But I have been traveling

[00:01:00] Without much to carry

[00:01:04] Just a broken guitar case with tape on the sides

[00:01:10] A bag and a few signs to help me get rides

[00:01:22] But here are some beads from a throat of a princess

[00:01:29] Who reigned in the years 'round 200 BC

[00:01:36] Divid them and wear them

[00:01:39] And make sure to share them

[00:01:43] Because I want you to have them in hopes that'll be

[00:01:49] As lovely as the lady who gave them to me

[00:02:00] And here is a strange European guitar string

[00:02:07] I found on the floor of a Club in Marselles

[00:02:14] It's fat for the third string

[00:02:16] And skinny for the fourth string

[00:02:21] But I keep in hopes that I use it someday

[00:02:27] It's funny how people just keep things that way

[00:02:38] And here is a turtle from a Long Island Expressway

[00:02:45] He says that his home has been covered with tar

[00:02:51] So I gave him a ride on the back of my suitcase

[00:02:58] And he says he'd like to stay here in your yard

[00:03:04] At long last his life won't be quite so hard

[00:03:13] How have you been my darling children

[00:03:21] While I have been away in the west

[00:03:28] Though you are strangers

[00:03:31] I feel that I know you

[00:03:35] By the way that you treat me

[00:03:38] And offer to feed me

[00:03:41] And egarly ask if I'll stay for a rest

[00:03:49] By the way that you treat me

[00:03:52] And offer to feed me

[00:03:55] And egarly ask if I'll stay for a rest
