tom russell – the ballad of edward abbey كلمات اغاني
[verse 1]
it was in the town of tucson in nineteen eighty-three
a man named edward abbey come a walking up to me
he pulled his cigar from his mouth, said, “i smell lawyers here”
the politician, running-dogs, they crawled away in fear
[chorus]
singing do-ra-do
singing do-ra-day
[verse 2]
ed walked across the desert at least a thousand times
he spoke with javelina, slept ‘neath piñon pine
and if he saw a billboard there, he’d chop that b-st-rd down
said, if a man can’t p-ss in his own front yard, he’d never keep close to town
[chorus]
singing do-ra-do
singing do-ra-day
lord, i wish edward abbey were walking round today
[verse 3]
ed had a taste for women, in fact he married quite a few
he said, “i’d fall in love, boys, but i’m only p-ssing through
you know i like ’em all, boys, and some more than the rest
i’ve tried my hand at monogamy, now i’m off to save the west
[chorus]
singing do-ra-do
singing do-ra-day
[verse 4]
ed died one day at sundown in his tucson riding shack
they wrapped him in a sleeping bag and drove him way out back
beneath the wild saguaro, the coyotes chewed his bones
and on a hidden marker, was ‘no comment’, carved in stone
[chorus]
singing do-ra-do
singing do-ra-day
yeah, i wish edward abbey were walking round today
[verse 5]
now i’m living in the desert, but the town is a-closing in
those cracker box developments, ed would call a sin
we stole this land from the mexican and now we’ll sell it back
and they’ll live like mortgage prisoners in those godd-mn housing tracts
[verse 6]
tell me, who votes for the mountain lion, tell me, who votes for the fox
who votes for the spotted owl who hides there in the rocks
i wish that ed would come again with a chainsaw in his hand
and carve all up those housing tracts and take on back the land
[chorus]
singing do-ra-do
singing do-ra-day
yeah, i wish edward abbey were walking round today
