《Goodbye Pork Pie Hat》歌词

[00:00:00] Goodbye Pork Pie Hat - Joni Mitchell

[00:00:42] When Charlie speaks of Lester

[00:00:47] You know someone great has gone

[00:00:51] The sweetest swinging music man

[00:00:56] Had a Porkie Pig hat on

[00:01:00] A bright star

[00:01:03] In a dark age

[00:01:04] When the bandstands had a thousand ways

[00:01:09] Of refusing a black man admission

[00:01:18] Black musician

[00:01:21] In those days they put him in an

[00:01:25] Underdog position

[00:01:33] Cellars and chittlins'

[00:01:36] When Lester took him a wife

[00:01:42] Arm and arm went black and white

[00:01:45] And some saw red

[00:01:49] And drove them from their hotel bed

[00:01:55] Love is never easy

[00:02:00] It's short of the hope we have for happiness

[00:02:07] Bright and sweet

[00:02:09] Love is never easy street

[00:02:13] Now we are black and white

[00:02:16] Embracing out in the lunatic New York night

[00:02:20] It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town

[00:02:25] Or be hung in a tree

[00:02:29] That's unlikely

[00:02:32] Tonight these crowds

[00:02:39] Are happy and loud

[00:02:48] Children are up dancing in the streets

[00:02:52] In the sticky middle of the night

[00:02:54] Summer serenade

[00:02:56] Of taxi horns and fun arcades

[00:03:00] Where right or wrong

[00:03:02] Under neon

[00:03:04] Every feeling goes on

[00:03:07] For you and me

[00:03:10] The sidewalk is a history book

[00:03:13] And a circus

[00:03:14] Dangerous clowns

[00:03:17] Balancing dreadful and wonderful perceptions

[00:03:21] They have been handed

[00:03:22] Day by day

[00:03:24] Generations on down

[00:04:22] We came up from the subway

[00:04:26] On the music midnight makes

[00:04:31] To Charlie's bass and Lester's saxophone

[00:04:36] In taxi horns and brakes

[00:04:40] Now Charlie's down in Mexico

[00:04:45] With the healers

[00:04:47] So the sidewalk leads us with music

[00:04:51] To two little dancers

[00:04:57] Dancing outside a black bar

[00:05:03] There's a sign up on the awning

[00:05:07] It says "Pork pie hat bar"

[00:05:14] And there's black babies dancing

[00:05:19] Tonight
