Talking Columbia Blues

歌曲歌詞

In bed with my woman, just singin' the blues,

Heard the radio tellin' the news:

That the big Red Army took a hundred towns,

And Allies droppin' them two-ton bombs.

Started hollerin', yellin', dancin' up and down like a bullfrog!

Doorbell rung and in come a man,

I signed my name, I got a telegram.

Said, "If you wanna take a vacation trip,

Got a dish-washin' job on a Liberty ship."

Woman a-cryin', me a-flyin', out the door and down the line!

'Bout two minutes I run ten blocks,

I come to my ship, down at the dock;

Walked up the plank, and I signed my name,

Blowed that whistle, was gone again!

Right on out and down the stream, ships as fur as my eye could see, woman a-waitin'.

Ship loaded down with TNT

All out across the rollin' sea;

Stood on the deck, watched the fishes swim,

I'se a-prayin' them fish wasn't made out of tin.

Sharks, porpoises, jellybeans, rainbow trouts, mudcats, jugars, all over that water.

This convoy's the biggest I ever did see,

Stretches all the way out across the sea;

And the ships blow the whistles and a-rang her bells,

Gonna blow them fascists all to hell!
