《Morton (A Song for Tex)》歌词

[00:00:02] Morton (A Song For Tex) - Weddings Parties Anything

[00:00:18] He stopped to change a tyre out near Warnambool

[00:00:21] His Chevy it was all over the road

[00:00:25] He pulled into town sometime

[00:00:27] In the early afternoon

[00:00:29] More than a normal travelling salesman

[00:00:31] The guitar his only load

[00:00:35] And we were all there waitin' in the Colac hall

[00:00:39] Our little legs a-swinging 'neath the chairs

[00:00:42] But I just sucked a butter menthol

[00:00:45] And never once looked at the girls

[00:00:47] Would the 'Cat Come Back' like last time

[00:00:49] I fell into despair

[00:00:52] But here's a go let's catch the show

[00:00:54] And lay your money down

[00:00:56] Cause Morton's back in town

[00:01:01] And I still hear the way

[00:01:03] He played his old guitar

[00:01:05] And I still hear the way he sang those songs

[00:01:09] And I still hear his voice so crisp

[00:01:11] And clear above the crowd

[00:01:13] Do I remember Am I joking

[00:01:15] Somehow it all just seems so strong

[00:01:19] And could he crack a whip

[00:01:20] You bet he could don't

[00:01:21] You make me laugh

[00:01:22] And could he tell a joke

[00:01:24] He would make you cry

[00:01:27] And could he hypnotise and

[00:01:27] Do a dance and spin a yarn

[00:01:30] You name it he could do it with

[00:01:32] The winkin' of an eye

[00:01:35] But here's a go let's catch the show

[00:01:38] And lay your money down

[00:01:39] Cause Morton's back in town

[00:01:53] Ain't it funny how time passes

[00:01:55] How the years just slip away

[00:01:57] And the memories we have

[00:01:58] They play their games

[00:02:01] And now it's me who's strumming guitars

[00:02:03] Now it's me who's travelling round

[00:02:05] But somehow I get the feeling

[00:02:07] That it isn't quite the same

[00:02:10] For it was never quite this easy

[00:02:12] It was never quite this hard

[00:02:14] But it never made much sense to theorise

[00:02:18] When the show closed down

[00:02:19] You'd pack your things

[00:02:20] You'd soon be on your way

[00:02:22] First you see him now you don't

[00:02:24] He'd be gone before your very eyes

[00:02:27] But here's a go let's catch the

[00:02:29] Show and lay your money down

[00:02:32] Cause Morton's back in town

[00:02:36] From the U S A to Canada

[00:02:39] He played the roving clown

[00:02:46] Morton's back in town

[00:02:46] From Dunedin to Germany and

[00:02:48] On to Darling Downs

[00:02:51] Hey Morton

[00:02:53] The Great Morton Tex Morton

[00:03:00] Morton's back in town
