Sonny Boy (小滑头) - Randy Newman (兰迪·纽曼)[00:00:00]
Written by:Randy Newman[00:00:00]
It's me coming at you from the land beyond[00:00:01]
I'm up here in Heaven where I belong[00:00:07]
Gonna tell you my story about a man who's down in Hell[00:00:13]
He ain't up here anyway far as I can tell[00:00:18]
This man stole my name stole my soul[00:00:24]
They're so holy up there they don't understand[00:00:31]
But he even tried to steal my jelly roll[00:00:34]
So here it is my story[00:00:37]
Here it is from the top[00:00:41]
My name is Sonny Boy Williamson[00:00:45]
I come from Jackson Tennessee[00:00:50]
Being a man named Sonny Boy might bother you[00:00:54]
It never bothered me no[00:00:59]
My mother loved me my wife did too[00:01:02]
I had a dream and the dream come true[00:01:06]
I wrote some songs that the people knew[00:01:11]
Like Good Morning School Girl and Jackson Blue[00:01:14]
Around the time of the Great Migration[00:01:19]
The blues run up the river and across the nation[00:01:23]
I run up with 'em caused a great sensation[00:01:27]
Selling biscuits on the radio in Chicago[00:01:31]
Out on the West Side to see the sights[00:01:36]
Turned the corner see my name in lights[00:01:40]
Said I'd been playing there for 14 nights[00:01:44]
This I had to see[00:01:48]
This ugly cat was on the stage[00:01:53]
Twice my size about my age[00:01:56]
Played six songs five were mine[00:02:01]
If I said he was good I'd be lying[00:02:04]
Then he says What's my name[00:02:08]
The crowd says Sonny Boy[00:02:10]
He says What's my name[00:02:12]
They go Sonny Boy[00:02:14]
He says What's my name[00:02:17]
And I said Hold it[00:02:18]
My name is Sonny Boy Williamson[00:02:21]
The one from Jackson Tennessee[00:02:25]
Don't know who you are or where you come from[00:02:29]
But one thing I do know you ain't me son[00:02:33]
I looked in his eyes and they was red[00:02:37]
As was the rang tang hair dye all over his head[00:02:41]
Scared me so bad I ran outside[00:02:45]
And I looked for a place to hide[00:02:49]
Ran round a corner smack into a robbery[00:02:54]
They were shooting at each other but they hit me[00:02:58]
Next thing I know I came up here[00:03:02]
In the middle of my 34th year[00:03:06]
Now I'm the only Bluesman in Heaven[00:03:11]
Makes me kinda sad[00:03:19]
I'm the only one died so young[00:03:25]
Didn't have the time to do nothing bad[00:03:31]
As for Sonny Boy 2 the man who stole my name[00:03:36]
Went on to glory fortune and fame[00:03:42]
He's the one who went to England[00:03:48]
Try to teach those English boys the blues[00:03:50]
He said What do I have to lose[00:03:53]
Well it killed him yeah it killed him[00:03:56]
I'm the only Bluesman in Heaven[00:04:01]
And I'm lonely as can be[00:04:10]
Lord if you're listening hear my plea[00:04:15]
Send down a Bluesman to play the blues with me[00:04:21]
This is Sonny Boy Williamson Number One[00:04:28]
That's my story I'm done[00:04:34]
