《Ramona’s Revenge》歌词

[00:00:00] Ramona's Revenge - Tom T. Hall

[00:00:11] Ramona lived just down the hill from us.

[00:00:17] She kept the house her mother drove the bus.

[00:00:21] (an old yellow school bus)

[00:00:23] Ramona had a handicap the

[00:00:26] Neighborhood knew well.

[00:00:29] Ramona couldn't speak or couldn't spell.

[00:00:33] And that left Ramona at a

[00:00:35] Considerable disadvantage among the more fluent

[00:00:40] Although she couldn't write or couldn't talk,

[00:00:46] Ramona really had a pretty walk.

[00:00:49] (a four letter figure)

[00:00:52] Because she couldn't write or

[00:00:53] Speak nobody asked her out.

[00:00:57] But "bad-eye" Thompson hung

[00:00:59] Around the house. he was what you'd call a

[00:01:04] Familiar figure in the neighborhood

[00:01:09] Well I guess their handicaps

[00:01:11] Were common ground.

[00:01:14] 'Cause "bad-eye" Thompson always hung around.

[00:01:20] He could squint that eye and spit tobacco thirty feet.

[00:01:26] Ramona always grinned and

[00:01:28] Stomped her featuresbecause,

[00:01:31] To Ramona this was one of

[00:01:33] The finer things in life

[00:01:36] One day Ramona found herself with child.

[00:01:42] She couldn't speak. Her mom was going wild.

[00:01:47] Confusion reigned for half a

[00:01:49] Day as one could understand.

[00:01:53] The county judge came down

[00:01:55] To lend a hand. and I think it should be noted in

[00:02:00] The interest of justice that the

[00:02:03] Judge was acting in a strictly unofficial

[00:02:06] Capacity

[00:02:09] The neighbors gathered 'round Ramona's porch.

[00:02:14] The judge said, "Understand, this is not a court".

[00:02:20] Ramona squealed as all the breathless

[00:02:23] Neighbors gathered 'round

[00:02:27] Then she closed one eye and (puh-tui)

[00:02:31] Spat upon the ground.

[00:02:39] And it's a familiar old phrase that

[00:02:40] "birds of a feather will flock together".

[00:02:45] And justice will be done
