《Devil’s Hootenanny》歌词

[00:00:00] Devil's Hootenanny - Laura Veirs (劳拉·威尔斯)

[00:00:02] I was walking through the snow

[00:00:05] When I saw a distant glow

[00:00:09] Of a farmhouse nestled down beneath the trees

[00:00:14] With a guitar on my back

[00:00:20] I thought it sure can't hurt to ask

[00:00:23] If I could stay the night

[00:00:26] And sing a pretty song for free

[00:00:29] I walked up to the house

[00:00:34] And then I knocked hard on the door

[00:00:37] That old dark piece of wood

[00:00:41] She fell right in there on the floor

[00:00:44] And as she did a fire burst out on all sides

[00:00:50] I wondered what the hell was going on inside

[00:00:57] Then the music that I heard

[00:01:02] It was bizarre it was absurd

[00:01:05] Like no banjo fiddle bass I'd ever seen

[00:01:10] I stepped into a room of flames

[00:01:17] Shook my head and looked again

[00:01:20] It was the kind of company to make you scream

[00:01:25] It was a devil's hootenanny

[00:01:30] An old-time fire band

[00:01:33] A drunken whiskey choir singing

[00:01:38] Round me you understand

[00:01:40] And then they said "We've been searching near and far

[00:01:45] For a thing like you to sing and play guitar"

[00:01:52] Well I opened up my case

[00:01:57] And all the blood rushed to my face

[00:02:01] I sang a fragile note picked a minor tune

[00:02:06] Well those devils yelled and clapped

[00:02:11] And all their asses they did slap

[00:02:14] Before too long we were arm and arm beneath the moon

[00:02:19] Cuz that old house burnt on down

[00:02:24] There were cinders on the ground

[00:02:27] I snuggled up inside closed my eyes

[00:02:33] I was sleeping sound

[00:02:35] And I dreamt of summer nights down by the sea

[00:02:40] With a devil's banjo playing on my knee
