《The Winner》歌词

[00:00:00] The Winner (Live) - Bobby Bare

[00:00:01] Written by：Shel Silverstein

[00:00:07] The hulk of a man with a beer in his hand

[00:00:11] He looked like a drunk old fool

[00:00:15] And I knew if I hit him right

[00:00:18] Why I could knock him off of that stool

[00:00:22] But everybody they said watch out hey

[00:00:26] That's the Tiger Man McCool

[00:00:30] He's had the whole lotta fights

[00:00:32] And he's always come out winner yeah

[00:00:35] He's a winner

[00:00:37] But I had myself about five too many

[00:00:41] And I walked up tall and proud

[00:00:45] I faced his back and I faced the fact

[00:00:48] That he had never stooped or bowed

[00:00:52] I said Tiger Man you're a pussycat

[00:00:56] And a hush fell on the crowd

[00:00:59] I said let's you and me go outside

[00:01:02] And see who's the winner

[00:01:06] Well he gripped the bar with one big hairy hand

[00:01:10] Then he braced against the wall

[00:01:14] He slowly looked up from his beer

[00:01:18] My God that man was tall

[00:01:22] He said boy I see you're a scrapper

[00:01:26] So just before you fall

[00:01:29] I'm gonna tell you just a little about

[00:01:32] What it means to be a winner

[00:01:35] He said now you see these bright

[00:01:38] White smiling teeth you know they ain't my own

[00:01:44] Mine rolled away like Chicklets

[00:01:47] Down the street in San Antone

[00:01:51] But I left that person cursing

[00:01:54] Nursing seven broken bones

[00:01:58] And he only broke ah three of mine

[00:02:03] That makes me the winner

[00:02:05] He said now behind this grin I got a steel pin

[00:02:10] That holds my jaw in place

[00:02:13] A trophy of my most successful motorcycle race

[00:02:20] And each morning when I wake

[00:02:23] And touch this scar across my face

[00:02:28] It reminds me of all I got by bein' a winner

[00:02:35] Now this broken back was

[00:02:38] The dying act of a handsome Harry Clay

[00:02:43] That sticky Cincinnati night I stole his wife away

[00:02:50] But that woman she gets uglier

[00:02:54] And she gets meaner every day

[00:02:57] But I got her boy

[00:03:00] That's what makes me a winner

[00:03:08] He said you gotta speak loud

[00:03:11] When you challenge me son cause

[00:03:13] It's hard for me to hear

[00:03:16] With this twisted neck

[00:03:18] And these migraine pains

[00:03:20] And this big ole cauliflower ear

[00:03:23] And if it wouldn't for this glass eye of mine

[00:03:27] Why I'd she'd a happy tear

[00:03:31] To think of all that

[00:03:32] You gonna get by being a winner

[00:03:38] I got arthritic elbows boy

[00:03:42] I got dislocated knees

[00:03:46] From picking fights with thunderstorms

[00:03:49] And charging into trees

[00:03:53] And my nose been broke so often

[00:03:57] I might lose if I sneeze

[00:04:01] And son you say

[00:04:02] You still wanna be a winner

[00:04:07] Now you remind me a lotta

[00:04:10] My younger days with your knuckles

[00:04:13] A clenching white

[00:04:15] But boy I'm gonna sit right here

[00:04:19] And sip this beer all night

[00:04:22] And if there's something that you gotta gain

[00:04:25] To prove by winning some silly fight

[00:04:30] Well okay I quit I lose you're the winner

[00:04:37] So I stumbled from that barroom not so tall

[00:04:42] And not so proud

[00:04:45] And behind me

[00:04:46] I still hear the hoots of laughter of the crowd

[00:04:52] But my eyes still see and my nose still works

[00:04:56] And my teeth're still in my mouth

[00:04:59] And you know

[00:05:01] I guess that makes me the winner
