The Late John Garfield Blues (Live)
Lyricist:John Prine
Black faces pressed against the glass Where rain has pressed its weight Wind blown scarves in top down cars All share one western trait
Sadness leaks through tear stained cheeks From winos to dime store Jews Probably, don't know they gave me These late John Garfield Blues
Midnight fell on Franklin Street And the lamppost bulbs were broke For the life of me, I could not see But I heard a brand new joke
Two men were standing upon a bridge One jumped and screamed, 'You lose' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And just left the odd man holding These late John Garfield Blues
An old man sleeps with his conscience at night Young kids sleeps with their dreams While the mentally ill sit perfectly still And live through life's in-betweens
I'm going away to the last resort In a week or two, real soon Where the fish don't bite but once a night By the cold light of the moon
The horses scream, with nightmares dream The dead men, all wear shoes 'Cause everybody's dancin' Those late John Garfield Blues
