The Ballad of Mr. Jenkins
作詞:Stephen Mandile, David Vincent Williams
With skin as tough as a burlap sack He had his second heart attack Last summer but he's still goin'
There's a melancholy in his eyes For all of you who care enough To wonder why, well, let me tell you
It all started back in 1957 When ole Walt Disney took him by surprise That's the day Old Yeller died
Well, that twelve year old became a man Eleven years too soon in Vietnam With his best friend Tommy
They were tough as nails and southern born And awfully proud to wear that uniform Then things got scary
On April 4th, Tommy left for Heaven The same year the world was taken by surprise That's the day Martin Luther died
So before you judge him you need to know There's more to that old man than what you See there on that barstool with a Bourbon in his hand
You heard about his younger years But don't leave now there's more to hear That might explain the pain in that old man
How quick America forgot About the only war they'd lost 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 And life goes on, that's what they tell ya
No ticker tape no reason why Might have never seen the end of that chapter Of his life, if he hadn't met Betty
They got married in December 1980 No doubt it was the best day of his life Two days before John Lennon died
So before you judge him you need to know There's more to that old man than what you See there on that barstool with a bourbon in his hand
Now we've covered chapter two I can almost see a change in you There's still a lot of life in that old man
He hadn't had a drink in at least a year To tell the truth I'm shocked he's here But as long as he wants 'em, I'm gonna pour 'em
Before you came in I asked him why He just raised his fragile head and wiped his eyes And then he told me
I've seen so much in my life I've never questioned This time the good Lord took me by surprise Yesterday my Betty died
With skin as tough as a burlap sack He had his second heart attack Last summer but he's still goin'
