Testo Hard Luck Saint - Joe Ely
Testo della canzone Hard Luck Saint (Joe Ely), tratta dall'album Happy Songs from Rattlesnake Gulch
He said he discovered America with nothing but a paper sack
The first sight he remembered was the Statue of Liberty's back
He lost his mama on a Brooklyn street when he was just thirteen
And made his way out West it seems in pictures in a magazine
He worked a while as a roughneck in the Florida black oil fields
And the fat oil men of Texas would watch him tap his heels
As the oil poured in and the cotton
Grew and the Cadillacs fell like rain
He did the work of a dozen men and never did complain
If you added up his troubles they'd fill a prairie sky
But he lived more in an hour than most men in their life
He never preached a sermon and an angel he ain't
But anyone can tell you he's a hard luck saint
He worked his way to a cotton town down Highway 84
And that is where I met him in a used clothin' store
With my mama and my papa and little Mark and Muleshoe Bill
I still remember tear stains on a dusty windowsill
If you added up his troubles they'd fill a prairie sky
But he lived more in an hour than most men in their life
He never preached a sermon and an angel he ain't
But anyone can tell you he's a hard luck saint
He never stayed around long but he never said goodbye
No tellin' where he went to, he walked a rugged mile
He might just pass through your town one of these hard luck days
And pass right through to the other side goin' his hard luck way
If you added up his troubles they'd fill a prairie sky
But he lived more in an hour than most men in their life
He never preached a sermon and an angel he ain't
But anyone can tell you he's a hard luck saint
