Billy the bum lived by the thumb

And sang of the hobos delight

Hed prove he could run

Twice as fast as the sun

By losing his shadow at night

Now he loved every girl

In this curly headed world

But no one will know it seems

For two twisted legs and a childhood disease

Left billy just a bum in his dreams

Chorus:

And he was just a gentle boy

A real florescent light

Cried pennies on sunday morning

Laughs nickels on saturday night

And your bullets they cant harm him

Nor your knives tear him apart

Humiliation killed him

God bless his little heart

Now he lived all alone

In a run down home

Near the side of the old railroad track

Where the trains used to run

Carrying freight by the ton

And blow the whistle as billyd wave back

But the children around billys home town

Seemed to have nothin better to do

Then run around his house

With their tongues from their mouth

And make fun of that cripped old fool

(repeat chorus)

Now some folks they wait

And some folks they pray

For jesus to rise up again

But none of these folks

In their holy cloaks

Ever took billy on as a friend

For pitys a crime

And it aint worth a dime

To a person whos really in need

Just treat em the same

As you would your own name

Next time that your heart starts to bleed

(repeat chorus)

Это интересно:Prine is the son of William Prine and Verna Hamm. Prine himself started playing guitar at age 14, taught by his brother, David. He was a postman for five years and served in the Army before beginning his musical career in Chicago.In the late 1960s, while Prine was still delivering mail in Maywood, Illinois, he began to sing at open-mic evenings at the Fifth Peg on Armitage Avenue. Prine was initially a spectator, reluctant to perform, but eventually did so in response to a "You think you can do better?" comment made to him by another performer. Chicago Sun-Times movie critic Roger Ebert heard him there and wrote the first review Prine ever received, calling him a great songwriter.... продолжение
