《Song For Sonny Liston》歌词

[00:00:14] So many mouths to feed on the farm

[00:00:20] Sonny was the second to the last one born

[00:00:25] His mamma ran away and his daddy beat him bad

[00:00:31] And he grew up wild good love he never had

[00:00:34] He had a left like henry's hammer

[00:00:37] A right like betty bamalam

[00:00:39] Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread

[00:00:42] And all them sluggers went down like lead

[00:00:56] Well he hung with the hoods he wouldn't stroke the fans

[00:01:01] But he had dynamite in both his hands

[00:01:07] Boom bam like the slammer door

[00:01:13] The bell and the can and the bodies on the floor

[00:01:15] Beware the bear's in town somebody's money says

[00:01:20] The bear's going down

[00:01:21] Yeah the bear never smiles

[00:01:24] Sonny's going down for miles and miles

[00:01:27] Sonny's going down for miles and miles

[00:01:35] The writers didn't like him the fight game jocks

[00:01:46] With his lowlife backers and his hands like rocks

[00:01:52] They didn't want to have a bogey man

[00:01:58] They didn't like him and he didn't like them

[00:02:00] Black cadillac alligator boots

[00:02:03] Money in the pockets of his sharkskin suits

[00:02:06] Some say the bear took a flop

[00:02:09] They couldn't believe it when they saw him drop

[00:02:11] He had a left like henry's hammer

[00:02:14] A right like betty bamalam

[00:02:17] Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread

[00:02:20] And all them sluggers went down like lead

[00:02:28] Joe louis was his hero he tried to be the same

[00:02:39] But a criminal child wears a ball and chain

[00:02:45] So the civil rights people didn't want him on the throne

[00:02:51] And the hacks and the cops wouldn't leave him alone

[00:02:53] Beware the bear's in town

[00:02:56] Somebody's money says the bear's going down

[00:02:59] Yeah the bear never smiles

[00:03:02] Sonny's going down for miles and miles

[00:03:05] Sonny's going down for miles and miles

[00:03:13] At the foot of his bed with his feet on the floor

[00:03:24] There was d**e in his veins and a pistol on the drawer

[00:03:30] There was no investigation as such

[00:03:35] He hated needles but he knew too much

[00:03:38] Criss-crossed on his back

[00:03:41] Scars from his daddy like slavery tracks

[00:03:44] The second-last child was the second-last king

[00:03:47] Never again was it the same in the ring

[00:03:49] He had a left like henry's hammer

[00:03:52] A right like betty bamalam rode with the muggers

[00:03:56] In the dark and dread

[00:03:58] And all them sluggers went down like lead

[00:04:06] They never could be sure about the day he was born

[00:04:28] A motherless child set to working on the farm

[00:04:34] And they never could be sure about the day he died

[00:04:39] The bear was the king they cast aside

[00:04:42] Beware the bear's in town

[00:04:45] Somebody's money says the bear's going down

[00:04:48] Yeah the bear never smiles

[00:04:50] Sonny's going down for miles and miles

[00:04:53] Sonny's going down for miles and miles
