《Roosevelt and Ira Lee (Night of the Mossacin)》歌词

[00:00:00] Roosevelt and Ira Lee (Night of the Mossacin) - Tony Joe White

[00:00:00] This is about two cats

[00:00:01] They're sittin' down by a river in the swamps

[00:00:06] They're sittin' down on the logs

[00:00:08] One of them is kind of a big fellow

[00:00:09] And the other one is a little bit smaller

[00:00:11] And he's got a long billed cap

[00:00:14] And they're sittin' there ponderin'

[00:00:15] On what they're gonna do for the night

[00:00:17] And anything the big guy decides

[00:00:19] On the little guy's for

[00:00:21] 'Cause he digs him he's cool

[00:00:23] So it's called Roosevelt and Ira Lee

[00:00:34] The river was dark and muddy

[00:00:37] And the moon was on the rise

[00:00:41] And all of the creatures in the swampland

[00:00:45] Had woke up to feed for the night

[00:00:49] Roosevelt and Ira Lee huh were sittin' there on a log

[00:00:56] Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt and said

[00:01:00] I'd sure like to have a mess of bull frog

[00:01:03] He said yeah yeah lawd sure would taste good

[00:01:19] So they slipped on their rubber boots

[00:01:23] And walked down to the water's edge

[00:01:26] And right away they knew

[00:01:28] That the night would be a bummer

[00:01:30] 'Cause Ira Lee stepped

[00:01:31] On a water mossacin

[00:01:33] He said uh uh lawd

[00:01:41] Somebody help me

[00:02:09] Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt

[00:02:12] When he quit his screamin' and kickin'

[00:02:15] And he said let's forget about the bullfrog legs

[00:02:19] And go out and steal us some chickens

[00:02:22] And Ol' Roosevelt said like this now

[00:02:24] Yeah yeah ooh it sure would taste good

[00:02:32] Yes it would I love a chicken

[00:02:38] Oh the river was dark and muddy yeah
