Little Waterloo
(专辑: High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project - 2009)
There comes a
time in a
young man's life when he should settle down But I've gotta catch that next fair deal before it hits the
ground I'm on my way, I'm gonna make it pay Go ask anybody, it's happened more than once I'll step out for a
minute and be gone for seven months Got a
little bit lost, I
forgot my watch Oh, I'm going away, I'm going to stay, and never coming home Gonna miss me, honey, in the
days to come When the
winter wind begins to blow, the
ground is covered up with snow You'll think of me, gonna wish me back, your loving man You're gonna miss me honey in the
day, days, days to come I'm living in the
highways, just trying to catch a
car It's "Where you going, buddy?" "Well, I'm going wherever you are I'm satisfied, just to take a
little ride" Life's a
lot like poker, you can't win if you don't play Gonna bankroll my tomorrow and pawn my yesterday I'll trust in God, but I'll cut the
cards Oh, I'm going away, I'm going to stay, and never coming home Gonna miss me, honey, in the
days to come When the
winter wind begins to blow, the
ground is covered up with snow You'll think of me, gonna wish me back, your loving man You're gonna miss me honey in the
day, days, days to come I'm going round the
world, what do you think of that? Going all the
way around the
world, I'm never coming back Never coming home, going away to roam Oh, but I
won't go to San Antone or anywhere near France That's two last things, I
said that's two That I'm never never never ever ever gonna do So can't you see? It's guaranteed there isn't any chance I'll meet my Alamo, my little Waterloo
