Luyện nghe bài hát Milton

Now, I'll tell ya a that'll bust yer heart
That only a few people knew, ta
It all took place when our concert was booked at the SeaTac Hilton?
I'll guarantee ev'ry the Gospel truth
Got ta prove it, too,
'Cause we all toured with a fella by the name a'

Now was o-fficial tour director,
piano-playin' plug connector
An' the slave-drivin'-est travel
That we ever in our lives
He'd say "Whaddya mean, ya more rest?
"The world don't whether ya look yer best!
"Simply show up promptly at six A.M. with instruments ...and your wives!"

in sorta of "Bringing In The Sheaves" way]
Shall we at the airport?

He'd always in the nick a' time
A five minutes ahead a' flight time
A-lookin' like been drug through a needle's eye
He'd stand there, and about ta choke
On his Egg an' his giant Coke
An' then he'd throw all the on the counter and say
"Check the and let's fly!"
"Well, whaddya mean, is too much weight?
"We only got pieces a' freight!
"And if it don't go, who's explain it to our fan club in Tacoma?"

We'd all get embarassed an' head for the
While stood there, bein' profane
But somehow he always managed ta get on board ...in of a coma

When the drinks served up yonder...

Well, we at th' other end
All the trouble to commence again
Though Milton had ordered three station wagons, a pickup truck and a
And though he'd phoned to that Number Two
Cussin' an' fussin' an' turnin'
We'd always end up with two and a Pinto

Now Milton all a' that stuff in stride
on the floor, an' kicked an' cried
But we always looked up to him for hope and
But we'd to the bottom a' trav'lers hell
When he'd check us in a motel
And he'd the clerk by his shirt an' tie an' say
"Whaddya mean, reservacines?"

Milton's bolder...

He'd himself in room one-oh-four
Let nobody in 'til he the floor
the lampshade, aligned the TV, fixed the faucet, called the promoter
"Well, whaddya mean the warmup show?
"You're me on! We're stars, ya know!
"And this ain't the way we was treated last summer at Six Over Dakota!
"Now we gotta have a percent top billing,
"Two-thirds in advance, a' course, you silly!
"I'm sure we prefer a chauffered limosine and two air-conditioned rooms, please.
"I'm what? Well, so's your wife! not? Well, to each his own.
"Beg pardon, stick it in my Well, really, Merle who?"

William Morris, us working...

Now, Milton was a real good friend a'
An' stuck together on down that line
But there was one or two over which we just had to dee-bate
takin'-your-clothes-off-an'-hangin'-from-a-cross-in-front-a'-the-Tri-County-Fairgrounds
Is not necessarily an assurance that the crowd ain't start throwin' tomatas
An' when ya arrive at four for a five o'clock
An' the stage built an' there's no electricity
About all ya could do is sit on yer an' cut bait
However, you give ol' Milton four strong bodies, a nine-foot grand, a beer and a
An' you just that show was gonna be ...outta state

Bringing in the
in the bread...

Now one night up there in
We didn't get for a show we'd done
An' poor ol' Milton couldn't live with that; his just shorted out.
Well, he locked himself in the
An' then he didn't come out for an hour an' a half
We figgered somethin' was wrong, but we had to remove all doubt
We stood transfixed in and horror
When we busted down that bathroom door
And I hope I never see a sight like that again; no, I
was nothin' to do but close our eyes, an' bow our heads, an' vocalize
With a silent five-part hymn, for him

What a we had in Milton...

Now we're gettin' ready, next December
To put concert tour together
And I'm sad to say ol' Milton a-gonna be with us
No, it ain't gonna be the same
When they us without his name
So Milton, wherever you are, we hope you us!
See, Milton has moved on down the
the rainbow, lookin' for gold
Yeah, he's up there where the stage is always on
But we can't forget curly hair
When last we saw him there
Holdin' his tambourine, suckin' his thumb, an' sound on the john
