Luyện nghe bài hát Milton

Now, I'll tell ya a tale bust yer heart
only a few people knew, ta start
It all took place when our concert tour was booked at the 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 travel conductor
That we seen in our lives
say "Whaddya mean, ya need more rest?
"The world don't care whether ya yer best!
"Simply show up promptly at six A.M. with your instruments ...and wives!"

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

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

all get embarassed an' head for the plane
While Milton there, bein' profane
But somehow he always managed ta get on ...in sort of a coma

When the drinks were up yonder...

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

Now Milton took all a' stuff in stride
Laid on the floor, an' an' cried
But we always looked up to him for and salvation
But we'd sink to the bottom a' trav'lers
When he'd us in a remote motel
And he'd grab the 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 swept the
Adjusted the lampshade, the TV, fixed the faucet, called the promoter
"Well, mean we're the warmup show?
"You're me on! We're stars, ya know!
"And this ain't the way we was treated summer at Six Flags Over Dakota!
"Now we gotta have a percent top billing,
"Two-thirds in advance, a' course, you silly!
"I'm sure we prefer a limosine and two air-conditioned dressing rooms, please.
"I'm what? Well, so's your wife! She's not? Well, to his own.
"Beg pardon, it in my what? Well, really, Merle who?"

William Morris, us working...

Now, Milton was a real good a' mine
An' we'd stuck together on down that
But there was one or two over which we just had to dee-bate
Like
Is not necessarily an assurance the crowd ain't gonna start throwin' tomatas
An' when ya arrive at for a five o'clock show
An' the stage ain't built an' no electricity
About all ya do is sit on yer butt an' cut bait
However, you give ol' four strong bodies, a nine-foot grand, a beer and a cigarette
An' you just knew that show was be ...outta state

Bringing in the
in the bread...

Now one night up in Washington
We get paid for a show we'd done
An' poor ol' Milton live with that; his brain just shorted out.
Well, he locked in the bathroom
An' then when he didn't come out for an hour an' a
We that somethin' was wrong, but we had to remove all doubt
We stood transfixed in shock and
we busted down that there bathroom door
And I hope I never see a sight that again; no, I don't
There was to do but close our eyes, an' bow our heads, an' vocalize
With a silent acapella hymn, for him

What a we had in Milton...

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