《The Old Jimmy Woodser》歌词

[00:00:00] The Old Jimmy Woodser - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:13] The old Jimmy Woodser comes into the bar

[00:00:17] Unwelcomed unnoticed unknown

[00:00:21] Too old and too odd to be drunk with by far;

[00:00:26] So he glides to the end where the lunch baskets are

[00:00:30] And they say that he tipples alone

[00:00:35] And they say that he tipples alone

[00:00:39] His frockcoat is green and the nap is no more

[00:00:45] And his hat is not quite at its best;

[00:00:49] He wears the peaked collar our grandfathers wore

[00:00:53] The black-ribbon tie that was legal of yore

[00:00:59] And the coat buttoned over his breast

[00:01:03] And the coat buttoned over his breast

[00:01:09] But I dreamed as he tasted his 'bitter' to-night

[00:01:12] And the lights in the bar-room grew dim

[00:01:17] That the shades of the friends of that other day's

[00:01:20] Light

[00:01:21] And of girls that were bright in our grandfathers”

[00:01:24] Sight

[00:01:26] Lifted shadowy glasses to him

[00:01:30] Lifted shadowy glasses to him

[00:01:36] Yes the old Jimmy Woodser comes into the bar

[00:01:40] Unwelcomed unnoticed unknown

[00:01:44] Too old and too odd to be drunk with by far;

[00:01:48] So he glides to the end where the lunch baskets are

[00:01:53] And they say that he tipples alone

[00:02:05] (Instrumental)

[00:02:20] Then I opened the door and the old man passed out

[00:02:24] With his short shuffling step and bowed head;

[00:02:28] And I sighed; for I felt as I turned me about

[00:02:32] An odd sense of respect born of whisky no doubt

[00:02:37] For a life that was fifty years dead

[00:02:41] For a life that was fifty years dead

[00:02:48] And I thought there are times when our memory trends

[00:02:52] Through the future as 'twere on its own

[00:02:56] That I out-of-date ere my pilgrimage ends

[00:03:00] In a new-fashioned bar to dead loves and dead friends

[00:03:06] Might drink like the old man alone

[00:03:10] Might drink like the old man alone
