《Mark Twain》歌词

[00:00:00] Mark Twain - Harry Belafonte
[00:00:00] Written by:Trad Belafonte
[00:00:05] Many years ago on the Mississippi riverboats
[00:00:08] They had men called gaugers
[00:00:11] And the job of a gauger was to hang off
[00:00:15] The side of the boat with one hand
[00:00:17] And in the other hand he had a ball of twine
[00:00:18] With a hunk a lead on the end of it
[00:00:21] He'd wield the lead above his head
[00:00:22] And let it fly into the water
[00:00:25] Wherever the water marked the twine
[00:00:28] He'd call up to the skipper and say
[00:00:32] Marking on the twine is four fathoms
[00:00:39] 'Cause then and there year after year
[00:00:41] It was getting pretty monotonous
[00:00:44] Until in the eighteen hundreds a little man
[00:00:46] Came along and revolutionized the
[00:00:48] Whole gauging industry
[00:00:50] Instead of saying marking on the twine
[00:00:53] He cut it short and said Mark twain
[00:00:58] And in between each marking he'd
[00:01:00] Fill it in with a little pattern about himself
[00:01:03] And his every day life
[00:01:05] Well if you'd been living at that time
[00:01:08] Coming up from a distance on the Mississippi
[00:01:12] It would have sounded like this
[00:01:16] Mark Twain four fathoms off the starboard bow
[00:01:36] I got a gal named Cindy Lou
[00:01:40] Feeds me gin and bake beans too
[00:01:44] Mark Twain Mark Twain
[00:01:58] Three fathoms off the starboard bow
[00:02:07] I got a friend his name is Pete
[00:02:12] Sings dirty songs down on Beel street
[00:02:20] Mark Twain Mark Twain
[00:02:34] Two fathoms off the starboard bow
[00:02:42] I've been working the river since ninety two
[00:02:46] I get a penny a day and bad liquor too
[00:02:50] Mark Twain I won't save my money
[00:02:56] Till I die
[00:02:58] He gonna bury me all but my good right eye
[00:03:02] Mark Twain Mark Twain
[00:03:16] No fathoms off the starboard bow
[00:03:25] Look out skipper pull it to the side
[00:03:27] You gonna bust your bow and split your hide
[00:03:31] Oh great God we done run it down
[00:03:34] Skipper gonna chase me with a big blood hound
[00:03:37] Mark Twain
