Uncle Lloyd
作詞:Scott James Darrell
He was not my father's brother But he wished that he could be Told us kids to call him Uncle And we would be his family
He had a wife and kids in Fresno The youngest one was twenty-four Dad had brought him into our house But they didn't want him anymore
He helped us work the family business Building fences in the sun And worked just like a man of twenty Till the working day was done
He and Dad would spend their evening Sitting in lawn, chairs in the yard Where they'd drink a toast to Seagram's Seagram's never went down hard
Won't you wake up, Uncle Lloyd Got a lot of work today We'll get Don to make the coffee Load that truck and be on your way
Friday night you can drive to Vegas Maybe this time you will win Buy a trailer by the river And you won't have to work again
He was sleeping in the workroom With a mattress on the floor When one night I heard him crying もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com As I passed outside his door
He cried, 'Rita, girl, I love you Rita, darling, please don't go I've tried hard to make you happy I've done everything I know'
Then I heard the bottle open The tipping up and putting down Heard the rustling of the covers And then he did not make a sound
I thought of thirty years of Rita Standing sternly by his side All the years of hanging in there And all the emptiness inside
And I thought of how their children Have children of their own And how a man at fifty-seven Winds up living so alone
Won't you wake up, Uncle Lloyd Got a lot of work today We'll get Don to make the coffee Load that truck and be on your way
Friday night you can drive to Vegas Maybe this time you will win Buy a trailer by the river And you won't have to work again Work again
