３７ 夜明けを待ちながら If I Love You I Don't Care

３７　夜明けを待ちながら　If I Love You I Don't Care

 

I can't walk, neither can I talk

Just gettin' back from the state of old New York

One morning before day

Flossie, oh Flossie, now what is the matter

Walked all the way from old Cincinatta

One morning before day

CHORUS: If I lose, let me lose

              I don't care how much I lose

            If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm tryin' to win a dime

              For my baby, she needs money all the time

The blood was a-runnin', and I was runnin' too

Give my feet some exercise, I had nothing else to do

One morning before day        (CH)

The peas was so greasy, the meat was so fat

The boys was fightin' the Spaniards while I was fightin' gnats

One morning before day        (CH)

See them girls settin' at the tank

Ready to catch a freight train they call old Nancy Hanks

One morning before day        (CH)

Lyricsの SOURCEとして「Charlie Poole」とクレジットされていたんで、そうなんでしょう。

ただ、個人的には「番外編」を聞いてみてほしい気もしないでもない。

さらに「Battleship Maine, White House Blues」とクレジットされているんで、同曲は数多くあったんでしょう。
