Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis - Rebekka Bakken[00:00:00]
Written by:Tom Waits[00:00:00]
Hey Charley I'm pregnant[00:00:37]
Living on 9th street[00:00:42]
Right above a dirty bookstore[00:00:47]
Of Cuclid avenue[00:00:50]
And I stopped taking dope[00:00:56]
And I quit drinking whiskey[00:01:01]
And my old man plays the trombone[00:01:05]
And works out at the track[00:01:09]
And he says that he loves me[00:01:17]
Even though it's not his baby[00:01:21]
And he says that he'll raise him up[00:01:27]
Like he would his own son[00:01:30]
And he gave me a ring[00:01:36]
That was worn by his mother[00:01:39]
And he takes me out dancin'[00:01:44]
Every Saturday night[00:01:48]
Hey Charley I think about you[00:01:56]
Everytime I pass a fillin' station[00:02:01]
On account of all the grease[00:02:06]
You used to wear in your hair[00:02:08]
And I still have that record[00:02:15]
Of little Anthony and the imperials[00:02:18]
But someone stole my record player[00:02:23]
Now how do you like that[00:02:28]
Hey Charley I almost went crazy[00:02:36]
After Mario got busted[00:02:39]
So I went back to Omaha[00:02:44]
To live with my folks[00:02:48]
But everyone I used to know[00:02:53]
Was either dead or in prison[00:02:57]
So I came back in Minneapolis[00:03:03]
This time I think I'm gonna stay[00:03:06]
Hey Charley I think I'm happy[00:03:12]
For the first time since my accident[00:03:16]
And I wish I had all the money[00:03:21]
We used to spend on dope[00:03:24]
I'd buy me a used car lot[00:03:31]
And I wouldn't sell any of 'em[00:03:33]
I'd just drive a different car every day[00:03:38]
Dependin' on how I feel[00:03:44]
Hey Charley for Christ's sake[00:03:52]
If you wanna to know the truth of it[00:03:57]
I don't have a husband[00:04:01]
He don't play the trombone[00:04:05]
And I need to borrow money[00:04:11]
To pay this lawyer[00:04:14]
Charley hey[00:04:16]
I'll be eligible for parole[00:04:19]
Come Valentine's day[00:04:24]
