《The Hit》歌词

[00:05:52] Tom Jones - The Hitter

[00:05:52] Come to the door Ma, and unlock the chain

[00:05:52] I was just passin' through and got caught in the rain

[00:05:52] There's nothing I want, nothin' that you need say

[00:05:52] Just let me lie down for a while and I'll be on my way¡

[00:05:52] I was no more than a kid when you put me on the Southern Queen

[00:05:52] With the police on my back I fled to New Orleans

[00:05:52] I fought in the dockyards and with the money I made

[00:05:52] I knew the fight was my home and blood was my trade

[00:05:52] Baton Rouge, Poncitoula, and Lafayette town

[00:05:52] Well they paid me their money Ma I knocked the men down

[00:05:52] I did what I did well it come easily

[00:05:52] Restraint and mercy Ma were always strangers to me

[00:05:52] I fought champion Jack Thompson in a field full of mud

[00:05:52] Rain poured through the tent to the canvas and mixed with our blood

[00:05:52] In the twelfth I slipped my tongue over my broken jaw

[00:05:52] I stood over him and pounded his bloody body into the floor

[00:05:52] Well the bell rang and rang and still I kept on

[00:05:52] 'Till I felt my glove leather slip 'tween his skin and bone

[00:05:52] Then the women and the money came fast and the days I lost track

[00:05:52] The women red, the money green, but the numbers were black

[00:05:52] I fought for the men in their silk suits to lay down their bets

[00:05:52] I took my good share Ma, I have no regrets

[00:05:52] Then I took the fix at the state armory with big John McDowell

[00:05:52] From high in the rafters I watched myself fall

[00:05:52] As he raised his arm my stomach twisted and the sky it went black

[00:05:52] I stuffed my bag with their good money and I never looked back

[00:05:52] Understand, in the end Ma every man plays the game

[00:05:52] If you know me one different then speak out his name

[00:05:52] Ma if my voice now you don't recognize

[00:05:52] Then just open the door and look into your dark eyes

[00:05:52] I ask of you nothin', not a kiss not a smile,

[00:05:52] Just open the door and let me lie down for a while

[00:05:52] Now the gray rain's fallin' and my ring fightin's done

[00:05:52] So in the work fields and alleys I take all who'll come

[00:05:52] If you're a better man than me then just step to the line

[00:05:52] Now there's nothin' I want Ma nothin' that you need say

[00:05:52] Just let me lie down for a while and I'll be on my way

[00:05:52] Tonight in the shipyard a man draws a circle in the dirt

[00:05:52] I move to the center and I take off my shirt

[00:05:52] I study him for the cuts, the scars, the pain,

[00:05:52] Man, nor the time can erase

[00:05:52] I move hard to the left and I strike to the face
