letra de king of the folksingers - tim grimm

my fingers are cold, johnny cash is dead and gone
the wayfaring stranger has been away too long
the contrary farmer is hitching up his mule
there’s been a change of plans, you see
the calvary is coming through

someone grabbed a hammer, must’ve been big jon
skinny pete is hollering, gonna strap his banjo on
arlo’s in his teepee, playing spoons and bones
dylan got the sceptre, but ramblin’ jack is on the throne

said kerouac to ramblin’ jack, “i got something for you to hear
come up to my place tonight for some cocaine and beer”
he had a long piece of paper, rolled up something like a scroll
sit down jack, you’re the first to hear this thing called “on the road”

somewhere out in england jack’s playing on the street
mick stood there watching, tapping both his feet
jack jumped on his vespa with no direction home
mick got the boys and they started a band and they called the rolling stones

here come little bobby, he got a big head
how the h-ll else could he sing those things he said
he got it all from woody, underneath the christmas tree
jack was playing santa claus and bobby he believed
jerry jeff was talking, said “i got a brand new song”
“it almost plays itself,” he said, “people just sing along ”
“you’ll be the first to record it jack, maybe you won’t have to ramble”
jack just smiled when jerry jeff played “mr. bojangles”

jack was at a table, sitting with tom waits
some origami figures, some whisky and a cake
they were talking about their voices
how they’d get sometimes sore and cracked
tea with lemon said ol’ tom, tea with lemon jack

somewhere near the ocean in a little house that’s red
jack is drawing pictures of sailboats in his head
one day he will launch that ship and sail off into the sun
and on the beach will stand everyone he’s touched
by doing the things he’s done

king of folksingers, don’t think twice, i ain’t got no home
9 12 rings, tom jones, the south coast
love ya, jack!
