Six O'Clock News (LP版) - John Prine (約翰·普林)

Wanda had a baby

Nineteen fifty one

The father was a stranger

Stranger was the son

Call that child James Lewis

Call these rooms a home

Changing all them diapers

Polish all that chrome

C'mon baby

Spend the night with me

All around the schoolyard

Playing all the games

Runnin' laughin' back and forth

The kid with two first names

A stranger in the closet

Lock the diary

The past is running faster

Singing harmony

C'mon baby

Spend the night with me

God bless this kitchen

Said the knick knack shelf

The dinner's almost ready

Go and wash yourself

Jimmy's growing up now

Wanda's growing old

The days are growin' shorter

The nights are long and cold

C'mon baby

Spend the night with me

Sneaking in the closet

Through the diary

Now don't you know all he saw

Was all there was to see

The whole town saw Jimmy

On the six o'clock news

His brains were on the sidewalk

And blood was on his shoes

C'mon baby

Spend the night with me

C'mon baby

Spend the night with me
