《The Ragpicker’s Dream》歌词

[00:00:12] When Jack Frost came for Christmas

[00:00:16] With a brass monkey date

[00:00:19] The rail-king and the scarecrow

[00:00:21] Hopped a Florida freight

[00:00:24] And they blew on their paper cups

[00:00:28] And stared through the steam

[00:00:30] Then they drank half a bottle

[00:00:34] Of Ragpicker＇s Dream where

[00:00:37] The whiskey keeps following

[00:00:39] Cold pitchers of beer

[00:00:43] Me and my associate

[00:00:45] Like the clientele here get

[00:00:48] The onions and the ＇taters

[00:00:52] Rib-eyes on the grill

[00:00:55] Toothpicks and luckies

[00:00:57] And a coffee refill as

[00:01:12] The rail-king lay rocking

[00:01:16] He was leaving the ground

[00:01:18] Then he was flying like Santa Claus

[00:01:22] Over the town where

[00:01:24] He came to the window

[00:01:27] Of a house by a stream

[00:01:31] It was a family Christmas

[00:01:33] In the Ragpicker＇s Dream there

[00:01:38] Were kids at the table

[00:01:42] All aglow in the light

[00:01:45] Music in the wintertime

[00:01:47] Sure carries at night there

[00:01:50] Was turkey and gravy

[00:01:54] Pie and ice cream

[00:01:58] And gifts for each and everyone

[00:02:00] In the Ragpicker＇s Dream where

[00:02:03] The red-eye keeps tumbling

[00:02:06] In our glasses of beer

[00:02:10] Me and my associate

[00:02:12] Like the service in here there＇s

[00:02:16] A ten for your trouble

[00:02:19] You have beautiful hair

[00:02:22] Make the last one two doubles

[00:02:24] It＇s a cold one out there where

[00:02:29] The scarecrow and the rail-king

[00:02:33] Have started to dance

[00:02:35] But a nightstick and a billyclub

[00:02:38] Won＇t give peace a chance here

[00:02:41] I think they went thataways

[00:02:45] Your song and dance team

[00:02:48] Heading home for the holidays

[00:02:52] With the Ragpicker＇s Dream on

[00:02:56] His knees like a fighter

[00:03:00] The rail-riding king

[00:03:03] Like a sack of potatoes

[00:03:05] Like a bull in the ring where

[00:03:08] The scarecrow falls over

[00:03:12] With a tear in the seam

[00:03:19] Home for the rover

[00:03:22] In the Ragpicker＇s Dream where

[00:03:25] The red-eye keeps tumbling

[00:03:28] Like tears in our beer

[00:03:31] Me and my associate

[00:03:33] Like the ambience here where

[00:03:37] They cornered two castaways

[00:03:40] In a white flashlight beam

[00:03:47] Merry Christmas and happy days

[00:03:50] In the Ragpicker＇s Dream
