《Clarissa Jones(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Clarissa Jones (LP版) - Tom Paxton

[00:00:18] Clarissa Jones got bit on the heel

[00:00:20] By a rat and she hit it with a broom

[00:00:22] He ran to the corner and stood

[00:00:24] There grinning like he owned the god damn' room

[00:00:27] Clarissa Jones threw an iron at the rat

[00:00:29] And the rat just seemed to say "Fine "

[00:00:31] He twitched his tail in the corner and said

[00:00:33] "You've got to go to sleep sometime "

[00:00:45] Clarissa Jones's kid aged 16 hated his heavy old shoes

[00:00:48] He wanted fine strides like the studs on the street

[00:00:51] And they'd know he'd been paying his dues

[00:00:53] Clarissa Jones's kid got busted

[00:00:55] She was three days gettin' the news

[00:00:57] They gave him a meal a shower

[00:00:58] And a uniform and two old heavy shoes

[00:01:01] Clarissa Jones where are you going

[00:01:03] It's cold and the wind is blowing through your bones

[00:01:07] And where where where is your man

[00:01:12] Clarissa Jones

[00:01:26] Clarissa Jones carried bedpans swept up

[00:01:28] Changed sheets and mopped the halls

[00:01:30] The doctors said she was a very good worker

[00:01:32] Clarissa Jones knew them all

[00:01:34] Now Clarissa Jones sits in her window

[00:01:36] With her paper reading how they burned the next street flat

[00:01:38] She's reading about the trouble

[00:01:40] She ought to write a letter saying

[00:01:42] "Hey it never happened like that "

[00:01:43] Clarissa Jones where are you going

[00:01:45] It's cold and the wind is blowing through your bones

[00:01:50] And where where where is your man Clarissa Jones

[00:02:06] Mr William Hawkins rose early shaved

[00:02:10] Dressed carefully and drank his tea

[00:02:12] He hit the desk at nine thanks to the Board of Opportunity

[00:02:16] On his very first day this boss went

[00:02:18] To great lengths to make him feel at home

[00:02:21] And his first assignment was a disposses on Miss Clarissa Jones

[00:02:25] Clarissa Jones where are you going

[00:02:27] It's cold and the wind is blowing through your bones

[00:02:32] And where where where is your man Clarissa Jones

[00:02:38] Ah where where where is your man Clarissa Jones
