Blue Wing - Tom Russell (汤姆罗素)/Dave Alvin[00:00:00]

He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder[00:00:13]

Well it might have been a blue bird I don't know[00:00:18]

But he'd get stone drunk and talk about Alaska[00:00:24]

The salmon boats and 45 below[00:00:29]

He said he got that blue wing up in Walla Walla[00:00:35]

And his cellmate there was Little Willy John[00:00:41]

And Willy he was once a great blues singer[00:00:47]

And Wing and Willy wrote 'em up a song They said[00:00:53]

It's dark in here can't see the sky[00:00:58]

But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes[00:01:04]

And I fly away beyond these walls[00:01:10]

Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall[00:01:15]

On a poor man's dream[00:01:21]

They paroled Blue Wing in August of 1963[00:01:31]

He moved north picking apples to the town of Wenatchee[00:01:37]

Then winter finally caught him in a run down trailer park[00:01:42]

On the south side of Seattle where the days grow gray and dark[00:01:48]

And he drank and he dreamt of visions when the salmon still ran free[00:01:54]

And his fathers' fathers crossed that wild old Bering Sea[00:02:00]

And the land belonged to everyone and there were old songs yet to sing[00:02:05]

Now it's narrowed down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing[00:02:11]

It's dark in here can't see the sky[00:02:16]

But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes[00:02:23]

And I fly away beyond these walls[00:02:28]

Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall[00:02:34]

On a poor man's dream[00:02:40]

Well he drank his way to L A and that's where he died[00:02:55]

And no one knew his Christian name and there was no one there to cry[00:03:01]

But I dreamt there was a funeral a preacher and a cheap pine box[00:03:07]

And half way through the service Blue Wing began to talk He said[00:03:13]

It's dark in here can't see the sky[00:03:18]

But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes[00:03:24]

And I fly away beyond these walls[00:03:30]

Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall[00:03:36]

On a poor man's dream[00:03:41]

Hey hey On a poor man's dream[00:03:45]

Hey hey On a poor man's dream[00:03:51]
