《John Doe No. 24*(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Songs Title:john doe no 24
[00:00:06] Artist by: Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:00:21] I was standing on this sidewalk in 1945 in jacksonville illinois
[00:00:32] When asked what my name was there came no reply
[00:00:36] They said i was a deaf and sightless half-wit boy
[00:00:42] But lewis was my name though i could not say it
[00:00:47] I was born and raised in new orleans
[00:00:52] My spirit was wild so i let the river take it
[00:00:57] On a barge and a prayer upstream
[00:01:03] They searched for a mother and they searched for a father
[00:01:08] And they searched'til they searched no more
[00:01:13] The doctors put to rest their scientific test
[00:01:17] And they named me john doe no 24
[00:01:24] And they all shook their heads in pity
[00:01:28] For a world so silent and dark
[00:01:34] Well there's no doubt that life's a mystery
[00:01:39] But so too is the human heart
[00:01:43] And it was my heart's own perfume
[00:01:46] When the crape jasmine bloomed on st charles avenue
[00:01:55] Though i couldn't hear the bells of the streetcars coming
[00:02:00] By toeing the track i knew
[00:02:05] And if i were an old man returning
[00:02:10] With my satchel and pork pie hat
[00:02:16] I'd hit every jazz joint on bourbon
[00:02:20] And i'd hit every one on basin after that
[00:03:08] The years kept passing as they passed me around
[00:03:12] From one state ward to another
[00:03:17] Like i was an orphaned shoe from the lost and found
[00:03:23] Always missing the other
[00:03:28] They gave me a harp last christmas
[00:03:33] And all the nurses took a dance
[00:03:39] Lately i've been growing listless
[00:03:44] Been dreaming again of the past
[00:03:48] I'm wandering down to the banks of the great big muddy
[00:03:54] Where the shotgun houses stand
[00:03:59] I am seven years old and i feel my daddy
[00:04:05] Reach out for my hand
[00:04:10] While i drew breath no one missed me
[00:04:15] So they won't on the day that i cease
[00:04:21] Put a sprig of crape jasmine with me
[00:04:25] To remind me of new orleans
[00:04:31] I was standing on this sidewalk in 1945 in jacksonville illinois
