[00:01.000] 作曲 : Dylan
[00:26.37]The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course
[00:31.49]The city fathers they're trying to endorse
[00:35.81]The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
[00:39.81]But the town has no need to be nervous
[00:47.43]The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits
[00:51.99]To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
[00:56.67]A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
[01:00.68]At the head of the chamber of commerce
[01:08.30]Mama's in the fact'ry
[01:09.68]She ain't got no shoes
[01:13.05]Daddy's in the alley
[01:15.18]He's lookin' for the fuse
[01:17.49]I'm in the streets
[01:19.74]With the tombstone blues
[01:26.12]
[01:30.31]The hysterical bride in the penny arcade
[01:34.62]Screaming she moans, "I've just been made"
[01:39.31]Then sends out for the doctor who pulls down the shade
[01:49.36]
[01:50.42]Says, "My advice is to not let the boys in"
[01:53.81]Now the medicine man comes and he shuffles inside
[01:57.63]He walks with a swagger and he says to the bride
[02:00.50]"Stop all this weeping, swallow your pride
[02:04.12]You will not die, it's not poison"
[02:09.56]
[02:11.50]Mama's in the fact'ry
[02:13.87]She ain't got no shoes
[02:16.06]Daddy's in the alley
[02:18.38]He's lookin' for the fuse
[02:20.63]I'm in the streets
[02:22.13]With the tombstone blues
[02:30.31]
[02:49.56]Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief
[02:53.94]Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
[02:58.12]Saying, "Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
[03:02.69]Is there a hole for me to get sick in?"
[03:10.25]The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
[03:15.69]Saying, "Death to all those who would whimper and cry"
[03:19.62]And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
[03:23.13]Saving, "The sun's not yellow it's chicken"
[03:25.25]
[03:30.79]Mama's in the fact'ry
[03:32.98]She ain't got no shoes
[03:35.23]Daddy's in the alley
[03:37.42]He's lookin' for the fuse
[03:39.66]I'm in the streets
[03:41.23]With the tombstone blues
[03:44.32]The king of the Philistines his soldiers to save
[03:47.82]Put jawbones on their tombstones and flatters their graves
[03:50.82]Puts the pied pipers in prison and fattens the slaves
[03:54.26]Then sends them out to the jungle
[03:57.01]Gypsy Davey with a blowtorch he burns out their camps
[03:59.63]With his faithful slave Pedro behind him he tramps
[04:02.01]With a fantastic collection of stamps
[04:04.57]To win friends and influence his uncle
[04:06.82]Mama's in the fact'ry
[04:08.76]She ain't got no shoes
[04:11.38]Daddy's in the alley
[04:13.38]He's lookin' for the fuse
[04:15.32]I'm in the streets
[04:17.32]With the tombstone blues
[04:19.32]The geometry of innocence flesh on the bone
[04:22.38]Causes Galileo's math book to get thrown
[04:25.64]At Delilah who sits worthlessly alone
[04:28.07]But the tears on her cheeks are from laughter
[04:31.01]Now I wish I could give Brother Bill his great thrill
[04:33.39]I would set him in chains at the top of the hill
[04:35.51]Then send out for some pillars and Cecil B. DeMille
[04:37.26]He could die happily ever after
[04:38.32]Mama's in the fact'ry
[04:39.07]She ain't got no shoes
[04:39.95]Daddy's in the alley
[04:40.64]He's lookin' for the fuse
[04:41.51]I'm in the streets
[04:42.26]With the tombstone blues
