《The Body Of An American》歌词

[00:00:00] The Body Of An American - The Pogues

[00:00:35] The cadillac stood by the house

[00:00:39] And the yanks they were within

[00:00:43] And the tinker boys they hissed advice

[00:00:48] 'Hot wire her with a pin'

[00:00:52] Then we turned and shook as we had a look

[00:00:56] In the room where the dead man lay

[00:01:00] So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip

[00:01:05] To the shores where his father's laid

[00:01:09] Fifteen minutes later

[00:01:11] We had our first taste of whiskey

[00:01:12] There was uncles giving lectures

[00:01:15] On ancient Irish history

[00:01:17] The men all started telling jokes

[00:01:18] And the women they got frisky

[00:01:21] BY five o'clock in the evening correction this line

[00:01:23] Starts with BY not AT

[00:01:24] Every bastard there was pisky

[00:01:26] Fare thee well going away

[00:01:27] There's nothing left to say

[00:01:28] Farewell to New York City boys

[00:01:30] To Boston and PA

[00:01:31] He took them out

[00:01:33] With a well aimed clout

[00:01:34] He was often heard to say

[00:01:35] I'm a free born man of the USA

[00:01:39] He fought the champ in Pittsburgh

[00:01:41] And he slashed him to the ground

[00:01:43] He took on Tiny Tartanella

[00:01:44] And it only went one round

[00:01:46] He never had no time for reds

[00:01:48] For drink or dice or whores

[00:01:50] But he never threw a fight

[00:01:52] When the fight was right

[00:01:53] So they sent him to the war

[00:01:54] Fare the well gone away

[00:01:56] There's nothing left to say

[00:01:58] With a slnte Joe and Erin go

[00:01:59] My love's in Amerikay

[00:02:01] They're calling out the rosary

[00:02:03] Spanish wine from far away

[00:02:05] I'm a free born man of the USA

[00:02:27] This morning on the harbour

[00:02:29] When I said goodbye to you

[00:02:31] I remember how I swore

[00:02:32] That I'd come back to you one day

[00:02:35] And as the sunset came to meet

[00:02:36] The evening on the hill

[00:02:38] I told you I'd always love you

[00:02:40] I always did I always will

[00:02:42] Fare thee well gone away

[00:02:43] There's nothing left to say

[00:02:46] 'Cept to say adieu

[00:02:47] To your eyes as blue

[00:02:48] As the water in the bay

[00:02:50] And to big Jim Dwyer

[00:02:51] The man of wire

[00:02:52] Who was often heard to say

[00:02:54] I'm a free born man of the USA

[00:02:57] I'm a free born man of the USA

[00:03:00] I'm a free born man of the USA
