letra de jockey full of bourbon (2023 remaster) - tom waits

[verse 1]
edna milton in a drop-dead suit
dutch pink on a downtown train
two-dollar pistol but the gun won’t shoot
i’m in the corner on the pouring rain
sixteen men on a deadman’s chest
and i’ve been drinking from a broken cup
two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
i’m full of bourbon, i can’t stand up

[chorus]
hey little bird, fly away home
your house is on fire, your children are alone
hey little bird, fly away home
your house is on fire, your children are alone

[verse 2]
schiffer broke a bottle on morgan’s head
and i’ve been stepping on the devil’s tail
across the stripes of a full moon’s head
through the bars of a cuban jail
bl–dy fingers on a purple knife
a flamingo drinking from a c-cktail glass
i’m on thе lawn with someone elsе’s wife
admire the view from up on top of the mast
[chorus]
hey little bird, fly away home
your house is on fire, your children are alone
hey little bird, fly away home
your house is on fire, your children are alone, hey

[guitar solo]

[chorus]
i said, hey little bird, fly away home
your house is on fire, your children are alone
hey little bird, fly away home
your house is on fire, your children are alone

[verse 3]
yellow sheets on a hong kong bed
stazybo h-rn and a slingerland ride
“to the carnival” is what she said
a hundred dollars makes it dark inside
edna milton in a drop-dead suit
dutch pink on a downtown train
two-dollar pistol but the gun won’t shoot
i’m in the corner on the pouring rain

[chorus]
hey little bird, fly away home
your house is on fire, your children are alone
hey little bird, fly away home
your house is on fire, your children are alone
