Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Croce
[00:11.79] Well, out of Southern Illinois.
[00:14.71] Come a down home country boy.
[00:18.00] He's gonna make it in the city
[00:19.87] Playin' guitar in the studio.
[00:23.43] Well he hadn't been there an hour,
[00:26.32] When he met a Broadway flower,
[00:29.70] You know she took him for his money
[00:31.40] And she left him in a cheap hotel.
[00:35.22] Oh, well, it's easy for you to see
[00:37.81] That that country boy is me
[00:40.83] Saying "And how am I gonna ever
[00:42.39] break the news to the folks back home?"
[00:46.73] Well, I was gonna be a great success,
[00:49.42] Things sure ended up a mess,
[00:52.78] But in the process I got messed up too.
[00:58.18] "Hello Mamma and Dad I had to call collect“
[01:01.18] 'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name.
[01:04.28] Well I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway,
[01:07.08] And tonight they say it's gonna rain.
[01:09.65] And if you'd only send me some money
[01:13.12] I'll be back on my feet again,
[01:16.32] Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
[01:19.25] Box number ten.10
[01:27.56] Well, back in Southern Illinois
[01:30.27] They're still worryin' 'bout their boy.
[01:33.52] But this boy's goin' home soon's he get's the fare.
[01:39.22] Because as soon as I got my bread
[01:41.97] I got a pipe upside my head.
[01:45.23] You know they left me in an alley,
[01:46.74] Took my money and my guitar, too.
[01:50.74] "Hello Mamma and Dad I had to call collect
[01:53.40] 'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name.
[01:56.51] Well I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway,
[01:59.36] And tonight they say it's gonna rain.
[02:01.73] And if you'd only send me some money
[02:05.12] I'll be back on my feet again,
[02:08.26] Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
[02:11.39] Box number ten.
