Tom Waits - Waltzing Matilda (Tom Traubert's Blues)

Mañana, 12 de Julio, en el Kursaal, Donosti.
Una pena, no podré verlo.

Wasted and wounded, it aint what the moon did, Ive got what I paid for now
See you tomorrow, hey frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
Youll go waltzing mathilda with me

Im an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And Im tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks english, and everythings broken, and my stacys are soaking wet
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
Youll go waltzing mathilda with me

Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cabs parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open,
And Im down on my knees tonight
Old bushmills I staggered, youd bury the dagger
In your silhouette window light go
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
Youll go waltzing mathilda with me

Now I lost my saint christopher now that Ive kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go
Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
Youll go waltzing mathilda with me

No, I dont want your sympathy, the fugitives say
That the streets arent for dreaming now
And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,
They want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
Youll go waltzing mathilda with me

And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,
And the old men in wheelchairs know
And mathildas the defendant, she killed about a hundred,
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
Youll go waltzing mathilda with me

And its a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donna, the perfume is on an
Old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers
And goodnight to mathilda, too
