歌曲 | Ramona's Revenge |
歌手 | Tom T. Hall |
专辑 | In Search Of A Song |
作词 : Hall | |
Ramona lived just down the hill from us. | |
She kept the house her mother drove the bus. (an old yellow school bus) | |
Ramona had a handicap the neighborhood knew well. | |
Ramona couldn't speak or couldn't spell. (and that left Ramona at a | |
considerable disadvantage among the more fluent) | |
Although she couldn't write or couldn't talk, | |
Ramona really had a pretty walk. (a four letter figure) | |
Because she couldn't write or speak nobody asked her out. | |
But "bad-eye" Thompson hung around the house. (he was what you'd call a | |
familiar figure in the neighborhood) | |
Well I guess their handicaps were common ground. | |
'Cause "bad-eye" Thompson always hung around. | |
He could squint that eye and spit tobacco thirty feet. | |
Ramona always grinned and stomped her features(because,to Ramona this was one of | |
the finer things in life) | |
One day Ramona found herself with child. | |
She couldn't speak. Her mom was going wild. | |
Confusion reigned for half a day as one could understand. | |
The county judge came down to lend a hand. (and I think it should be noted in | |
the interest of justice that the judge was acting in a strictly unofficial | |
capacity) | |
The neighbors gathered 'round Ramona's porch. | |
The judge said, "Understand, this is not a court". | |
Ramona squealed as all the breathless neighbors gathered 'round...... | |
Then closed one eye and (puh-tui) spat upon the ground. | |
(and it's a familiar old phrase that "birds of a feather will flock together". | |
and justice will be done) |
