Salute To A Switchblade - Tom T. Hall[00:00:00]

Me and Yates an army buddy o'mine[00:00:04]

Were doin' three years in Germany at the time[00:00:08]

We came upon these Frauleins in the bar[00:00:12]

Yates said, "Darf isch zee be-gleit-en?", they said "Ya"[00:00:16]

And 'Darf isch zee be-gleit-en means?', 'Can we sit with you all?'[00:00:20]

Oh we must have drunk ten quarts of German beer[00:00:26]

My conscience and my sinuses were clear[00:00:30]

I asked that Fraulein if she was a spy[00:00:34]

She said, "Nein but do bis ain bissel high"[00:00:38]

A condition not uncommon to the American soldier[00:00:43]

Well, later on I went to be excused[00:00:47]

When I returned I was a bit confused[00:00:51]

Yates and his Fraulein had hit the air[00:00:55]

Another guy was sittin' in my chair[00:00:59]

A young soldier whom we shall get to know better[00:01:04]

I said, "Excuse me mister that's my seat[00:01:09]

I'd like to have it back sir if you please[00:01:13]

That girl's a nurse and I've been awful sick"[00:01:17]

The man looked up at me and said, "Mox-nix"[00:01:21]

Which means that he was not overly concerned with my health[00:01:26]

Next thing I knew he had a switchblade knife[00:01:34]

Oh Lord, I didn't know that Fraulein was his wife[00:01:37]

I took off through that Gasthaus like a fool[00:01:42]

Behind me I heard the crashing stools[00:01:46]

As the police would say, he was in hot pursuit[00:01:50]

Well, the waitress yelled there's MPs on the way[00:01:56]

That's one more reason I didn't want to stay[00:02:00]

As I went out the window somethin' went switch[00:02:04]

And I giggled all the way home knowin' he missed[00:02:08]

At the time it seemed like a laughing matter[00:02:13]

But next morning my coat was lyin' there on the bunk[00:02:19]

And when I saw that coat it made me jump[00:02:23]

That man had cut my coat right down the back[00:02:27]

A little bit more and they'd been playin' me taps[00:02:31]

And knowin' the sad nature of that song I would decline it[00:02:36]

Well, later on I heard that guy got stabbed[00:02:41]

They sent him home and didn't that make me glad[00:02:46]

On love and marriage I want to say one thing[00:02:50]

Oh lady, if you're married wear that ring[00:02:54]

And the army has a new policy if you can't move it, paint it[00:02:58]

If it has a switchblade knife, salute it[00:03:04]

Not necessarily an incident one would want to write mother about[00:03:09]

Germany being full of good soldiers and good people[00:03:16]
