Rudy - The Be Good Tanyas
Written by：Sam Parton/Brodie Smith
Rudy lives on the borderline
Between civilization and basic survival
And the summertime treats him fairly well
But the wintertime is a dirty cold rival
It's wintertime now in Georgetown
The streets come alive with the Christmas light
And Rudy sleeps on a warm air grate
With a newspaper blanket on December nights
Deck the halls
Rudolph the red nosed wino
Knows it's Christmas time
Jingle Bells and Christmas shoppers
Dashing through the snow
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Who've found it in your hearts
To flip Rudy a thin
And I'll be home for Christmas
But this man has
No place to go
Christmas has a meaning at all
The people of greed and incredible waste
They seek the deeper meaning
In the shopping mall
In a yuletide spirit
Of impatience and hate
Rudy is a patient man
Who tries to see the beauty in everything
Yes and not a very demanding soul
Whose only wish is
To live until the Spring
Nobody knows the reasons why
Things turn out
Like the way they do
And there ain't no one to tell you
The reasons why
There's fortunate folks
Like me and you
Rudy must have people somewhere
Who wonder what
Became of the man
And Rudy must wonder
The same d*mn thing
As the crowd passes by
And he sticks out his hand
Deck the halls
Rudolph the red nosed wino
Knows it's Christmas time
Jingle Bells in the Christmas Shop
Others dashing through the snow
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Who have found it in your hearts
To flip Rudy a thin
And I'll be home for Christmas
But this man has
No place to go
Rudy died on the borderline
Of a civilized world
On Christmas Eve
You know the shoppers shopped
And the temperatures dropped
On a man whose absence
Won't be grieved
Peace on the soul of the cop
Who found in a booth
With his hand frozen to a telephone
You know I think I know
Who he had on the line
And Rudy won't spend
This Christmas alone
Deck the halls
Rudolph the red nosed wino
Knows it's Christmas time
Jingle Bells in the Christmas Shop
Others dashing through the snow
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Who have found it in your hearts
To flip Rudy a thin
And I'll be home for Christmas
And this year
Rudy gets to go
Yeah I'll be home for Christmas
And this year Rudy gets to go
