Testo Sawdust Saloon - The Low Anthem
Testo della canzone Sawdust Saloon (The Low Anthem), tratta dall'album What The Crow Brings
In 1971
I hung up a chicken bone
On the old chandelier
At the sawdust saloon
The medical exam
Cleared me to fight
My mother said stay
And I thought that I might
When my brother said stay
That's when I went
'Cause you never do know
Who might go in your stead
So I showed up on time
To meet my platoon
And hung a big bone
In the sawdust saloon
With Jimmy Tassone
I used to play ball
Now he sits here beside me
And talks like a man
Looks like a man
Says he shoots like a man
But no medal of honor
Could make his mom move back in
So he said my drunk father
I'll be back for you soon
But Jimmy still hangs
In the sawdust saloon
And I love my country
With a deep rented love
Her legs spread out wide
And her nose turned up
So I showed up on time
To meet my platoon
And hung a big bone
In the sawdust saloon
The candle in the window
The coin in the well
The break in your voice
And the crack in the bell
I'll raise a beer out
Without saying a word
To them old dusty bones
And those good men that served
Who showed up on time
To meet the platoon
And hung up the bones
At the sawdust saloon
