The Ballad of John B. Whistlin'
Oh my name is John B. Whistlin' and I'm free to state my mind. I tell you that I've seen the world, but that's easy when you're blind. And I'll listen to a preacher if he answers to the name of John B. Whistlin' Well I have not suffered hunger since way back in '49But my silver spoon and my knife and fork are losing all their shine And my pockets are all empty I'm the working man named John B. Whistlin' You can talk to me but I can't hear what you say You might be light footed but I'm not going your way2. I have danced with kings and queens in castles airy and endowed, and I rose my voice in mobs and gangs and the revolution crowd. But I'll never be a turncoat I'll stay loyal to the man called John B. Whistlin' The women they will love you when you've money in your hand, but their morning beds are cold when I go tripping 'ore the land. 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 But I'll leave a one and sixpencepretty penny for the memory of John B. Whistlin'3. I'll have whiskey for my breakfast and for supper I'll have beer. My tobacco's always borrowed and I poker with a sneer. And I'll wrestle with the strongest man who stands in front of John B Whistlin' My Mother always said ' John you'll be going straight to hell!' Well I'm not afraid of Lucifer and I've stories I could tell. I'm depending on St. Peter and his knowledge of John B. Whistlin'
