Seen That Face 歌詞
The Hitter - Tom Jones
Come to the door Ma and unlock the chain
I was just passin' through and got caught in the rain
There's nothing I want nothin' that you need say
Just let me lie down for a
While and I'll be on my way¡
I was no more than a kid
When you put me on the Southern Queen
With the police on my back
I fled to New Orleans
I fought in the dockyards
And with the money I made
I knew the fight was my home
And blood was my trade
Baton Rouge Poncitoula and Lafayette town
Well they paid me their money
Ma I knocked the men down
I did what I did well it come easily
Restraint and mercy Ma were always strangers to me
I fought champion Jack Thompson in a field full of mud
Rain poured through the tent to the canvas
And mixed with our blood
In the twelfth I slipped my tongue over my broken jaw
I stood over him and pounded
His bloody body into the floor
Well the bell rang and rang and still I kept on
Till I felt my glove leather slip
Tween his skin and bone
Then the women and the money came fast
And the days I lost track
The women red the money green
But the numbers were black
I fought for the men in their silk
Suits to lay down their bets
I took my good share Ma
You see that I have no regrets
Then I took the fix at the state armory
With big John McDowell
From high in the rafters I watched myself fall
As he raised his arm my stomach twisted
And the sky it went black
I stuffed my bag with their good money
And I never looked back
So understand in the end
Ma every man plays the game
If you know me one different then speak out his name
Ma if my voice now you don't recognize
Then just open the door and look into your dark eyes
I ask of you nothin'
Not a kiss not a smile
Just open the door and let me lie down for a while
Now the gray rain's fallin'
And my ring fightin's done
So in the work fields
And alleys I take all who'll come
If you're a better man than me
Then come on then just step to the line
Step to the line
Shou me your money you speak --
Now there's nothin'
I want Ma nothin' that you need say
Just let me lie down for a
While and I'll be on my way
Tonight in the shipyard a man
Draws a circle in the dirt
I move to the center and I take off my shirt
I study him for the cuts
The scars the pain
Man nor the time can erase
I move hard to the left and I strike to the face
