《Mad Ruth / The Babe(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Mad Ruth / The Babe (LP版) - Danny O'Keefe (丹尼·欧基夫)

[00:00:11] One day I was thinkin' 'bout the babe

[00:00:15] And the memories he left behind of the Old Ball Game

[00:00:21] Shame of it is they're almost gone

[00:00:25] But there're still a few pieces

[00:00:28] I can recall

[00:00:31] The catcher says to Ruth

[00:00:35] You know it's just a game

[00:00:38] You win you lose

[00:00:41] But it's all the same

[00:00:45] The babe would turn and say

[00:00:50] You know you're right

[00:00:53] But I still love to play

[00:01:00] And Ruth she turns to me

[00:01:05] And wonders where I am

[00:01:07] And where I'd be if she didn't care

[00:01:15] I return to Ruth to say

[00:01:20] You know I'd be all right

[00:01:22] But I'd still love to play

[00:01:31] The pitcher throws at Ruth

[00:01:34] He can't afford to miss

[00:01:38] He held the ball

[00:01:40] Like a stolen kiss

[00:01:45] And the babe just let it fly

[00:01:50] And apologized like he'd hurt the guy

[00:01:59] Mad Ruth just loves to bitch

[00:02:04] You can't afford the miss

[00:02:07] You make your deal

[00:02:09] As you steal a kiss

[00:02:14] And she never said goodbye

[00:02:19] She really loved the game

[00:02:21] She hardly knew the guy

[00:02:34] Mad Ruth you should have known the babe

[00:02:43] He loved the things he'd never had

[00:02:48] And he made you happy

[00:02:51] As he made you sad

[00:03:00] The babe here in my head

[00:03:04] Seems like he never left

[00:03:07] I heard the news like someone deaf

[00:03:14] It was nineteen-forty-eight

[00:03:19] He'd played a game

[00:03:21] But he'd made it great

[00:03:28] Mad Ruth sits on the couch

[00:03:33] In someone else's room

[00:03:36] I win you lose

[00:03:43] It's just a game she'll say

[00:03:48] You know she's right

[00:03:50] But I'd still love to play

[00:04:03] Mad Ruth you should have known the babe

[00:04:12] He loved the things he'd never had

[00:04:17] And he made you happy

[00:04:20] As he made you sad

[00:04:28] Mad Ruth you would have loved the babe

[00:04:37] She wanted things you never had

[00:04:42] And she made you happy

[00:04:45] Till she left you sad

[00:04:57] One evening I was thinkin' 'bout the babe

[00:05:01] And the memories she left behind

[00:05:02] Of the old ball game

[00:05:06] Shame of it is they're almost gone

[00:05:10] But there are still a few pieces I can recall

[00:05:16] Mad Ruth you should have known the babe
