Dutchman

专辑:《Chuck》

A Bunch of guys was in this bar room

Most of them had been there half the day

They'd been telling jokes and fairy tales
Lying just to pass the time away

Then suddenly someone cracked the bar room door

And then pushed it open wide

And this huge tall dark dude bowed his head and stepped inside

I wonder where he's from some blonde asked

The wind must have blown him in

But an old Dutchman offered him a drink

What will it be whisky rum or gin

Sick and fido a redhead shouted

Show his way back to the street

But the Great Dane just walked over
And licked his hand and lay down at his feet

He said if you spare me that drink Dutchman

I promise I tell you how

That I came to be the helpless sight

That stands before you now

I used to be an artist
Not one who sits and fiddle on the kerb

But in my day and time my music was considered superb

I wrote a song about a poor kid raised down in New Orleans

It didn't make the hall of fame

But it bought us shrimp rice and beans

He kept at it until he made the big time

Playing town after town

Until he met a woman he fell in love with

And it really turned his life around

She had eyes like Cleopatra and a head of luxurious hair

With the brilliance of her beauty none other could compare

When she lifted her eyes to his her lips would fall apart

Each time she allowed him kiss her it near petrified his heart

But when he ask her would she marry him

He'd give her everything he had

She turned and walked away and it nearly drove him mad

He promised her a half a million and would even pay in advance

If she would let him prove himself or at least give him a chance

And if he should go blind and hand to use his hands to feel

He would hire someone to do her work and prepare her every meal

How could a man love a woman so much

Not one of you would think

Well I did and I still do

Hey Dutchman you promised me a drink
