《Forty Deuce》歌词

[00:00:00] Forty Deuce - Black 47

[00:00:00] As I roved out one May morning

[00:00:03] On down by old Times Square

[00:00:07] I met a sportin' lady

[00:00:10] Sweet Nancy was her name

[00:00:14] She said "Me dearest darlin'

[00:00:17] You're so young and you smell so sweet

[00:00:21] But you'll age 10 years in 20 days down on 42nd Street"

[00:00:35] She took me upstairs to a room

[00:00:38] With cobwebs on the wall

[00:00:41] She said "Lay down me darlin'

[00:00:44] You and I gonna have a ball"

[00:00:49] And as she kissed me virgin tears away

[00:00:52] She sang in her sweet voice

[00:00:56] Fare thee well my 42nd street

[00:00:59] Good-bye my forty-deuce

[00:01:17] In the years to come I had occasion

[00:01:21] To remember sweet Nancy's song

[00:01:25] For I fell in with bad company

[00:01:28] I lived me life all wrong

[00:01:32] I did everything forbidden

[00:01:35] By bible book and creed

[00:01:38] 'Til I'd no more virgin tears to shed

[00:01:42] Down on 42nd Street

[00:01:48] I fell in with two blaggards

[00:01:51] Spider Murphy and Jem Black

[00:01:55] We terrorized Hell's Kitchen

[00:01:58] We robbed both white and black

[00:02:02] We never gave a damn about

[00:02:05] The Narcos or the Vice

[00:02:09] For the days were short and the nights were long

[00:02:12] Down on dear old forty-deuce

[00:02:45] One night on 7th Avenue

[00:02:48] I was accosted by the law

[00:02:52] They said "We've got your number lad

[00:02:55] You're time is gettin' short

[00:02:59] Take our advice me bucko

[00:03:02] Kick the dust up with your heels

[00:03:06] And leave your false companions

[00:03:09] Down on 42nd Street"

[00:03:15] But I was young and stupid

[00:03:19] And loyal to a fault

[00:03:22] I had a package in me shirt

[00:03:26] To deliver to Jem Black

[00:03:29] When I handed him his contraband

[00:03:32] I was pounced on by 2 narcs

[00:03:38] Spider Murphy had betrayed me

[00:03:41] Farewell my forty-deuce

[00:04:11] I spent 10 years in Sing Sing

[00:04:14] Goin' slowly up the walls

[00:04:18] With revenge the only motive

[00:04:22] That kept me alive at all

[00:04:25] I came out of there a different man

[00:04:29] Cruel vicious but discreet

[00:04:34] Bought a gun and went back home

[00:04:37] Down to 42nd Street

[00:04:48] I followed Spider Murphy

[00:04:50] Into a church down by Times Square

[00:04:54] I blew him to sweet Jesus

[00:04:58] While he was kneelin' at his prayers

[00:05:02] If you're ever lookin' for Jem Black

[00:05:05] Don't bother tryin' home

[00:05:08] Coz he's 40 feet down under

[00:05:12] The Hudson's ragin' foam

[00:05:17] So fare thee well sweet Nancy

[00:05:21] Give back me virgin tears

[00:05:25] I'm goin' back to Sing Sing

[00:05:28] For five and fifty years

[00:05:32] Please hold me like the first time

[00:05:35] Sing in your sweet voice

[00:05:40] Fare thee well my 42nd Street

[00:05:44] Goodbye my forty-deuceSo

[00:05:58] Fare thee well sweet Nancy

[00:06:11] Fare thee well sweet Nancy

[00:06:15] Fare thee well my 42nd Street

[00:06:28] Goodbye my forty-deuce
