《The Body of An American》歌词

[00:00:00] The Body of An American - The Pogues

[00:00:35] The cadillac stood by the house

[00:00:39] And the yanks they were within

[00:00:43] And the tinker boys they hissed advice

[00:00:47] 'Hot-wire her with a pin'

[00:00:52] We turned and shook as we had a look

[00:00:56] In the room where the dead men lay

[00:01:00] So big jim dwyer made his last trip

[00:01:04] To the home where his father's laid

[00:01:09] Fifteen minutes later

[00:01:11] We had our first taste of whiskey

[00:01:13] There was uncles giving lectures

[00:01:14] On ancient irish history

[00:01:16] The men all started telling jokes

[00:01:18] And the women they got frisky

[00:01:20] By five o'clock in the evening

[00:01:22] Every bastard there was pissed

[00:01:24] Fare thee well going away

[00:01:26] There's nothing left to say

[00:01:28] Farewell to new york city boys

[00:01:29] To boston and pa

[00:01:31] He took them out

[00:01:32] With a well-aimed clout

[00:01:33] He was often heard to say

[00:01:35] I'm a free born man of the usa

[00:01:39] He fought the champ in pittsburgh

[00:01:41] And he slashed him to the ground

[00:01:43] He took on tiny tartanella

[00:01:44] And it only went one round

[00:01:46] He never had no time for reds

[00:01:48] For drink or dice or whores

[00:01:50] And he never threw a fight

[00:01:52] Unless the fight was right

[00:01:52] So they sent him to the war

[00:01:53] Fare the well gone away

[00:01:56] There's nothing left to say

[00:01:57] With a slainte joe and erin go

[00:01:59] My love's in amerikay

[00:02:01] The calling of the rosary

[00:02:03] Spanish winde from far away

[00:02:05] I'm a free born man of the usa

[00:02:27] This morning on the harbour

[00:02:29] When I said goodbye to you

[00:02:31] I remember how I swore

[00:02:32] That I'd come back to you one day

[00:02:34] And as the sunset came to meet

[00:02:36] The evening on the hill

[00:02:38] I told you I'd always love you

[00:02:40] I always did and I always will

[00:02:42] Fare thee well gone away

[00:02:43] There's nothing left to say

[00:02:46] 'Cept to say adieu

[00:02:47] To your eyes as blue

[00:02:48] As the water in the bay

[00:02:49] And to big jim dwyer

[00:02:50] The man of wire

[00:02:51] Who was often heard to say

[00:02:53] I'm a free born man of the usa

[00:02:57] I'm a free born man of the usa

[00:03:00] I'm a free born man of the usa
