《The Winner》歌词

[00:00:00] The Winner (赢家) - Bobby Bare (Bobby Bare)

[00:00:07] The hulk of a man with a beer in his hand

[00:00:12] He looked like a drunk old fool

[00:00:16] And I knew if I hit him right

[00:00:19] Why I could knock him off of that stool

[00:00:23] But everybody they said watch out hey

[00:00:27] That's the Tiger Man McCool

[00:00:30] He's had the whole lotta fights

[00:00:33] And he's always come out winner yeah

[00:00:36] He's a winner

[00:00:38] But I had myself about five too many

[00:00:42] And I walked up tall and proud

[00:00:46] I faced his back and I faced the fact

[00:00:50] That he had never stooped or bowed

[00:00:54] I said Tiger Man you're a pussycat

[00:00:58] And a hush fell on the crowd

[00:01:01] I said let's you and me go outside

[00:01:05] And see who's the winner

[00:01:09] Well he gripped the bar with one big hairy hand

[00:01:13] Then he braced against the wall

[00:01:17] He slowly looked up from his beer

[00:01:21] My God that man was tall

[00:01:25] He said boy I see you're a scrapper

[00:01:29] So just before you fall

[00:01:32] I'm gonna tell you just a little bout

[00:01:35] What it means to be a winner

[00:01:40] He said now you see these bright

[00:01:43] White smiling teeth you know they ain't my own

[00:01:48] Mine rolled away like Chicklets

[00:01:52] Down the street in San Antone

[00:01:55] But I left that person cursing

[00:01:59] Nursing seven broken bones

[00:02:03] And he only broke ah three of mine

[00:02:07] That makes me the winner

[00:02:10] He said now behind this grin I got a steel pin

[00:02:15] That holds my jaw in place

[00:02:19] A trophy of my most successful motorcycle race

[00:02:27] And each morning when I wake

[00:02:30] And touch this scar across my face

[00:02:34] It reminds me of all I got by bein' a winner

[00:02:41] Now this broken back was

[00:02:44] The dying act of a handsome Harry Clay

[00:02:50] That sticky Cincinnati night I stole his wife away

[00:02:57] But that woman she gets uglier

[00:03:01] And she gets meaner every day

[00:03:05] But I got her boy

[00:03:07] That's what makes me a winner

[00:03:16] He said you gotta speak loud

[00:03:19] When you challenge me son cause

[00:03:21] It's hard for me to hear

[00:03:24] With this twisted neck

[00:03:26] And these migraine pains

[00:03:28] And this big ole cauliflower ear

[00:03:32] And if it wadn't for this glass eye of mine

[00:03:36] Why I'd she'd a happy tear

[00:03:40] To think of all that

[00:03:42] You gonna get by being a winner

[00:03:47] I got arthritic elbows boy

[00:03:52] I got dislocated knees

[00:03:55] From picking fights with thunderstorms

[00:03:59] And charging into trees

[00:04:03] And my nose been broke so often

[00:04:06] I might lose if I sneeze

[00:04:10] And son you say

[00:04:13] You still wanna be a winner

[00:04:18] Now you remind me a lotta

[00:04:20] My younger days with your knuckles

[00:04:23] A clenching white

[00:04:26] But boy I'm gonna sit right here

[00:04:29] And sip this beer all night

[00:04:34] And if there's something that you gotta gain

[00:04:37] To prove by winning some silly fight

[00:04:41] Well okay I quit I lose you're the winner

[00:04:48] So I stumbled from that barroom not so tall

[00:04:54] And not so proud

[00:04:57] And behind me

[00:04:58] I still hear the hoots of laughter of the crowd

[00:05:04] But my eyes still see and my nose still works

[00:05:08] And my teeth're still in my mouth

[00:05:12] And you know

[00:05:13] I guess that makes me the winner
