Текст Brian Fallon – The Blues, Mary

I learned how to hammer
In the burning August sun
I learned how to lie and cheat
How to steal and just how to run

Chorus:
But it’s just the blues, Mary, the blues
Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy’s shoes
I’m somewhere over the rainbow for you

I learned how to cry
In them lonesome September nights
I learned to get by
With the dogs and the dirt and the charm of the street
I fell asleep most nights
With your pictures right behind my eyes, your eyes
The killer and the victim
Right at the same time

Chorus

And cause your smile
Is bright like the ramparts on the 4th of July
And my baby swings like a boxer
And sends her right hooks under my chin
She cries like a baby
And she wears me just like a ring
Cries like a baby
And she wears me just like a ring
I’d rather go than watch you leave

I learned how to swagger

Chorus
