《Grasshopper MacClain》歌词

[00:00:00] Grasshopper MacClain - Jimmy Dean

[00:00:09] Me and that navy ain't speakin'

[00:00:11] At sailin' I tell you I'm through

[00:00:16] On the advice of a doc

[00:00:17] I got me a shock

[00:00:19] I had to have somethin' to do

[00:00:24] These nerves I got are from soakin' too long

[00:00:26] When the ship got hit by a plane

[00:00:32] And right here about four years back

[00:00:35] I met Grasshopper MacClain

[00:00:40] The sun was a burnin'

[00:00:41] And the desert red hot

[00:00:43] When his mother drove in with a flat

[00:00:48] She went inside to cool off

[00:00:49] With a beer and I saw

[00:00:51] Her kid in the back

[00:00:56] He lay on the seat in the

[00:00:58] Swelterin' heat with hair the color of flame

[00:01:04] A red headed mite but

[00:01:06] Smilin' and bright was

[00:01:07] Little ol' Grasshopper MacClain

[00:01:10] I fixed her tyre and was totin' him

[00:01:12] Round when she asked me

[00:01:13] How much she owed

[00:01:16] I just laughed and

[00:01:17] Said boy I settle for him

[00:01:20] And to my surprice s

[00:01:21] He drove off down the road

[00:01:24] I figured she'd sober and

[00:01:25] Come hurryin' back but for three long years

[00:01:29] She never came

[00:01:32] And all that time I was

[00:01:33] Mother and dad to little

[00:01:35] Ol' Grasshopper MacClain

[00:01:38] I'd tell him of ships

[00:01:39] I'd sailed on the seas

[00:01:40] When I put him in bed at night

[00:01:43] And that freckle faced kid

[00:01:44] Was as sharp as a tack and

[00:01:46] Quick as a mate for a fight

[00:01:50] I thought I'd wait till he

[00:01:51] Growed a bit and let him

[00:01:52] Pick out his own name

[00:01:55] One day he came in with

[00:01:57] A bug in his hand and

[00:01:58] He said me Grasshopper MacClain

[00:02:02] Oh he'd mimic my walk

[00:02:04] And he'd mimic my talk

[00:02:06] Like my shadow he just

[00:02:07] Tagged me around

[00:02:10] Even had to be checked every time

[00:02:11] I was checked by the navy

[00:02:12] Doc over the town

[00:02:16] The doc'd laugh and thump

[00:02:17] His little ole chest and

[00:02:18] Say feller you're right as rain

[00:02:23] Then he'd turn to me and

[00:02:24] Tell me that I'd be a new man

[00:02:26] Thanks to Grasshopper MacClain

[00:02:30] I guess you wonder why

[00:02:31] I'm tellin' you this well

[00:02:34] That's why I'm here doin' time

[00:02:38] For a bang and a sheriff

[00:02:39] And a red headed dame

[00:02:40] That came to take what was mine

[00:02:44] Oh but you should've seen

[00:02:45] The way he fought you could

[00:02:48] Tell that kid was navy trained

[00:02:53] But this lonely cell wouldn't be

[00:02:56] So much like hell if I only

[00:03:01] Had Grasshopper MacClain
