The Third Time Around

Roger Miller The Third Time Around歌詞
1.Engine, Engine Number Nine

Engine, engine number nine
Coming down the railroad line
How much farther back did she get off.
Old brown suitcase that she carried.
I've looked for it ev'rywhere.
It just ain't here among the rest
And i'm a little upset, yes... tell me

Engine, engine number nine,
Coming down the railroad line,
I know she got on in baltimore.
A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance
But it sure do make a diff'rence;
I don't think she loves me anymore.

I warned her of dangers
Don't speak to strangers
Did she find new romance
Warmer lips to kiss her,
Arms to hold her tighter,
Stirring new fires inside her,
How i wish that it was me instead
Of he that stands beside her.

Engine, engine number nine,
Coming down the railroad line,
I know she got on in baltimore.
A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance
But it sure do make a diff'rence;
I don't think she loves me anymore.

No i don't think she loves me anymore.
I dont think she loves me...


2.The Last Word In Lonesome Is Me

The last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely
The last word in lonesome is me

Too bad what's happened to our good love
Too bad what's happened to our good love
Sometimes our best isn't quite good enough
And the last word in lonesome is me

The last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely
The last word in lonesome is me

Life is a desert and love quenches thirst
Life is a desert and love quenches thirst
We all have to hurt sometime this is my first time
The last word in lonesome is me

The last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely
The last word in lonesome is me


3.I'll Pick Up My Heart And Go Home

Once again you've got me cryin'
I'm a fool if i let this go on
You can hurt me without even tryin'
Think i'll pick up my heart and go home

I can see the first signs of autumn
All at once all the flowers have gone
Suddenly i feel so forgotten
Think i'll pick up my heart and go home

Someplace where you'll never find me
A place where i can leave your memories behind me

Once again you've got me cryin'
I'm a fool if i let this go on
You can hurt me without even tryin'
Think i'll pick up my heart and go home


4.Kansas City Star

Got a letter just this mornin' it was postmarked omaha
It was typed and neatly written offerin' me this better job
Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car
But i'm on tv here locally and i can't quit, i'm a star

Hah-ha i come on the tv a-grinnin,' wearin' pistols and a hat
It's a kiddy show and i'm a hero of the younger set
I'm the number one attraction at every supermarket parkin' lot
I'm the king of kansas city, no thanks, omaha, thanks a lot

Kansas city star, that's what i are
Yodel-leedle lay-dee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old cadillac with wire wheels,
Got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction at every supermarket parkin' lot
I'm the king of kansas city, no thanks to omaha, thanks a lot

Kansas city star, that's what i are
Yodel-leedle lay-dee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old cadillac with wire wheels,
Got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction at every supermarket parkin' lot
I'm the king of kansas city, no thanks to omaha, thanks a lot

Spoken: stay tuned, we're gonna have a popeye cartoon in a
minute


5.Swing Low, Swinging Chariot

Swing low, swinging chariot, boy, comin' for to take me for a
ride
Swing low, swinging chariot, hmm, comin' for to take me for a
ride
Swing low, swinging chariot, comin' for to take me for a ride
Swing low, swinging chariot, hmm, comin' for to take me for a
ride
Swing low, swinging chariot, yeah, comin' for to take me for a
ride
Swing low, swinging chariot, hmm, comin' for to take me for a
ride

I know someday beyond the moon
Someday beyond the sun
I know the lord got a place swept up for me
To lay down when my work is done

Swing low, swinging chariot, comin' for to take me for a ride
Swing low, swinging chariot, yeah, comin' for to take me for a
ride
Swing low, swinging chariot, hmm, comin' for to take me for a
ride
Swing low, swinging chariot, yeah, comin' for to take me for a
ride
Swing low, swinging chariot, yeah, comin' for to take me for a
ride
Swing low, swinging chariot, well, comin' for to take me for a
ride

This heart of mine is satisfied
When the time has come and i've laid and died
I won't have to lay alone
I'll have me some golden streets to walk on

Well-a swing low, swinging chariot#.(to fade)


6.This Town

If you ever want to get depressed just come to this town
Nothing to do from dinner to breakfast in this town

Four street lights and one old grocery
I ain't long to stay here no siree
I'm bound to catch the next greyhound
Leavin' this town

I've seen towns, but no town as bad as this town
It don't take you long to feel lowdown in this town
Soon the cotton's gonna open up and i'm gonna pick it
Just long enough to make enough to buy myself a ticket
I'm bound to catch the next greyhound
Leavin' this town

Here i stand on the dusty road leavin' this town
Hopin' that dog ain't got a full load leavin' this town
The state built new access for travel
They got the pavement 'n we got the gravel
That's the reason everything's dying round here
In this town

We got very little sunshine day to day in this town
The mail don't run but every other day in this town

Four street lights and one old grocery
I ain't long to stay here no siree
I'm bound to catch the next greyhound
Leavin' this town

Well we don't reap, we don't sow in this town
Things are so bad the weeds won't grow in this town

1.2.3.4.5.6.7.
This town can go the other place i'm going to heaven
I'm bound to catch the next greyhound
Leavin' this town

8.One Dying And A Burying

Well, i think i finally found me a sure-fire way to forget
It's so simple, i'm surprised i hadn't done thought of it before
yet
It's foolproof - well, it's foolhardy, maybe, but who knows
Anyway, here i am walking toward where the cold dark water flows
Cos all it takes is:

One dying and a buryin'
One dying and a buryin'
Some crying
Six carrying me
I wanna be free

Oh...i wanna be free
Free from all this heartache and regret
And free from pining for the love i can't forget
The love that once was warm and then just somehow turned to hate
Made my life a prison from which there's only one escape
And that's:

One dying and a buryin'
One dying and a buryin'
Some cryin'
Six carryin' me
I wanna be free

One dying and a buryin'
One dying and a buryin'
Some cryin'
Six carryin' me
I wanna be free


9.Big Harlan Taylor

(spoken) l once had a sweetheart, the fairest of maidens
She outshined all others that l'd known by far
I had a friend, big fella, name of big harlan taylor
Harlan had a rubber-tyred new shiny car

Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If l figured them all out, 'twould take many years

By the wants of a woman she fell for big harlan
L tried but in vain for to take my own life
Suddenly l had lost all my will to keep livin'
She'd lost her desire to become my young wife

Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If l figured them all out, 'twould take many years

(spoken) well l wanted revenge, and waylaid for big harlan
Then l started wondering, what good would it do?
If a rubber-tyred new shiny car's her ambition
Then l'll just let her have it, and big harlan too

Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If l figured them all out, 'twould take many years
If l figured them all out, 'twould take many years
