《Joey》歌词

[00:00:00] Joey (乔伊) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)

[00:00:17] Born in Red Hook Brooklyn in the year of who knows when

[00:00:26] Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion

[00:00:34] Always on the outside whatever side there was

[00:00:41] When they asked him why it had to be that way

[00:00:44] Well he answered just because

[00:00:50] Larry was the oldest Joey was next to last

[00:00:59] They called Joe Crazy the baby they called Kid Blast

[00:01:07] Some say they lived off gambling and running numbers too

[00:01:15] It always seemed they got caught between the mob and

[00:01:19] The man in blue

[00:01:23] Joey Joey

[00:01:33] King of the streets child of clay

[00:01:40] Joey Joey

[00:01:49] What made them want to come and blow you away

[00:02:13] There was talk they killed their rivals

[00:02:17] But the truth was far from that

[00:02:22] No one ever knew for sure where they were really at

[00:02:29] When they tried to strangle Larry Joey almost hit the roof

[00:02:38] He went out that night to seek revenge thinking he was bulletproof

[00:02:46] The war broke out at the break of dawn it emptied out

[00:02:52] The streets

[00:02:55] Joey and his brothers suffered terrible defeats

[00:03:03] Till they ventured out behind the lines and took five prisoners

[00:03:11] They stashed them away in a basement called them amateurs

[00:03:20] The hostages were trembling when they heard a man exclaim

[00:03:28] Let's blow this place to kingdom come let Con Edison take the

[00:03:34] Blame

[00:03:36] But Joey stepped up and he raised his hand and said

[00:03:40] We're not those kind of men

[00:03:44] It's peace and quiet that we need to go back to work

[00:03:50] Again

[00:03:53] Joey Joey

[00:04:02] King of the streets child of clay

[00:04:09] Joey Joey

[00:04:18] What made them want to come and blow you away

[00:04:43] The police department hounded him they called him Mr Smith

[00:04:51] They got him on conspiracy they were never sure who with

[00:04:59] What time is it said the judge to Joey when they met

[00:05:08] Five to ten said Joey The judge says

[00:05:11] That's exactly what you get

[00:05:16] He did ten years in Attica reading Nietzche and Wilhelm Reich

[00:05:24] They threw him in the hole one time for trying to stop

[00:05:29] A strike

[00:05:32] His closest friends were black men

[00:05:36] 'Cause they seemed to understand

[00:05:40] What it's like to be in society with a shackle on

[00:05:46] Your hand

[00:05:49] When they let him out in 71 he'd lost a little weight

[00:05:57] But he dressed like Jimmy Cagney and I swear

[00:06:02] He did look great

[00:06:06] He tried to find the way back into the life he left

[00:06:11] Behind

[00:06:14] To the boss he said I've returned and now I want

[00:06:19] What's mine

[00:06:22] Joey Joey

[00:06:31] King of the streets child of clay

[00:06:39] Joey Joey

[00:06:47] What made them want to come and blow you away

[00:07:11] It was true that in his later years he would not carry

[00:07:16] A gun

[00:07:19] I'm around too many children he'd say

[00:07:23] They should never know of one

[00:07:27] Yet he walked right into the clubhouse of his lifelong deadly foe

[00:07:35] Emptied out his register said

[00:07:39] Tell 'em it was Crazy Joe

[00:07:44] One day they blew him down in a clam bar in New York

[00:07:52] He could see it coming through the doors as he

[00:07:56] Lifted up his fork

[00:08:00] He pushed the table over to protect his family

[00:08:08] Then he staggered out into the streets of Little Italy

[00:08:16] Joey Joey

[00:08:25] King of the streets child of clay

[00:08:33] Joey Joey

[00:08:41] What made them want to come and blow you away

[00:09:05] Sister Jacqueline and Carmela and mother Mary all did weep

[00:09:14] I heard his best friend Frankie say

[00:09:17] He ain't dead he's just asleep

[00:09:22] Then I saw the old man's limousine head back towards the grave

[00:09:30] I guess he had to say one last goodbye to the son

[00:09:35] That he could not save

[00:09:38] The sun turned cold over President Street and the town of the

[00:09:43] Brooklyn mourned

[00:09:47] They said a mass in the old church near the house where

[00:09:52] He was born

[00:09:55] And someday if God's in heaven overlooking his preserve

[00:10:03] I know the men that shot him down will get what they

[00:10:08] Deserve

[00:10:11] Joey Joey

[00:10:20] King of the streets child of clay

[00:10:28] Joey Joey

[00:10:36] What made them want to come and blow you away
