Seven Little Indians - John Hiatt (约翰·亥特)[00:00:00]

There were seven little Indians[00:00:31]

Livin' in a brick house on Central Avenue[00:00:36]

Gathered 'round their daddy[00:00:41]

Tellin' stories in the living room[00:00:43]

From a slightly unrealistic point of view[00:00:45]

Momma was off yonder in the kitchen somewhere[00:00:50]

Boiling up some hot water for them to all get up to their necks in[00:00:55]

The seven little Indians knew[00:01:00]

If the rest of the tribe ever scrutinized their household[00:01:02]

Somehow it would not pass inspection[00:01:06]

Big chief railed on[00:01:20]

And spun his tales of brave conquest[00:01:21]

About the moving of his little band[00:01:24]

Up to Alaska where the caribou run free[00:01:26]

See he'd done time putting in telephone lines[00:01:29]

For the army during World War II[00:01:32]

And even brought back a picture of a frozen mastodon[00:01:35]

For the little Indians to see[00:01:38]

And some mukluks and some sealskin gloves[00:01:40]

And a coat with beads around the collar[00:01:42]

His wife kept them in the mothballs[00:01:45]

Underneath the Hudson Bays[00:01:48]

And every once and a while he'd get wound up[00:01:49]

With one of his stories he'd put them all on[00:01:51]

And dance around in that blue TV screen light[00:01:54]

Like it was some campfire blazing away[00:01:57]

Well he stamped and he hollered[00:02:09]

But he could not stay warm in that living room[00:02:11]

And even the seven little Indians[00:02:14]

Well they could feel the chill[00:02:16]

And although everything always worked[00:02:19]

Out for the better in all of his stories[00:02:21]

In that old brick house it always felt like[00:02:23]

Something was movin' in for the kill[00:02:25]

Blazing like a trail[00:02:29]

Shot through the eyes of the seven little Indians[00:02:31]

Blazing like an arrow[00:02:34]

Shot (Incomprehensible) stronghold out in Arizona[00:02:36]

Blazing like the sheets of light dancing up in the sky[00:02:40]

Up above Anchorage[00:02:43]

Blazing like a star shot down to the ground[00:02:45]

Back home again in Indiana[00:02:48]

Now it finally got so quiet you could hear a pin drop[00:03:09]

They started dropping like flies[00:03:12]

The oldest little Indian got sick and vanished[00:03:14]

And the big chief went two years later[00:03:17]

And the mama raised the six little Indians up[00:03:19]

The best she could[00:03:21]

To be housewives musicians and insurance salesmen[00:03:23]

But they all shared this common denominator[00:03:25]

You see all the characters in the big chief's stories[00:03:37]

Were named after the seven little Indians[00:03:41]

And like I said in his stories everything[00:03:44]

Always worked out for the better[00:03:46]

And now as I'm telling this stuff to my own kids[00:03:48]

Dancing around the TV screen light[00:03:52]

Well I wish I had those mukluks those sealskin gloves[00:03:54]

And that coat with beads around the collar[00:03:59]
