Luyện nghe bài hát Potter's Field

Buy me a drink and tell you what I seen
And I'll you a bargain from the edge of a maniac's dream
That buys a black widow spider a riddle in his yarn
clinging to the furrow of a blind man's brow

I'll start talking the brim of a thimble full of whiskey
On a through the Bronx that will take you just as far
As the empty of a bottle to the highway of a
That across the blacktop of my cheek like that

And then beneath the brim of a fugitive's hat
You'll why liquor makes a stool pigeon rat on every face
That ever left his down on Saint Marks place

Hell, I'd double cross my mother if it was whiskey that payed
And so an early bird Nightstick's on the hit parade
He ain't got a prayer and his are numbered
And you'll track him down a dog

Well, it's a tough customer, you're in this trade
'Cause the Nightstick's heart pumps
And whiskey keeps a man talkin' alright
And I'm the one who knows just where he stayed last night

He was in a wreckin' in a switchblade storm
In a wheelbarrow with nothing but to keep him warm
And a half a dollars in unmarked bills
Was the blanket in a February chill

And as the buzzard drove a sky
a black wing halo
He was dealin' high in the mud
And stackin' the against a dragnet's eye

A shivering in a miserable heap
the siren for a lullaby singing him to sleep
He was from a buttonhole
Torn by a slug, fired the barrel of a two dollar gun

That a blister on the grip of a punk by now
Is learnin' what you have to pay to be a hero

He dressed the hole in his gut a hundred dollar bandage
A king's ransom for a bedspread that don't to nuthin'
Just cobweb strings on a busted
And the Nightstick leaned on a shillelagh
With the poison of a junkie's broken on his lip

He staggered in the shadows screaming I ain't never been
And he shot out every street light on the
Past the frozen ham and eggers at the penny
And throwin' out handfuls of a blood stained
They were dead in their tracks at the shootin'

And they fired off a twenty-one gun
And from the corner of his eye, he caught the alabaster
And from a dime a dance hall girl and stuffed a thousand bill
In her and caught the cruel and unusual punishment of her smile

And the Nightstick winked a rainsoaked brim
no one seen hide nor hair of him see
No one but a on Riker's Island and me

And so if you're mad enough to listen to a of whiskey blind man
Then you're mad to look beyond where bloodhounds dare to go
If you want to know just the Nightstick's hidin' out
You be down at the ferry landin', oh, let's say half past a nightmare

When it's twisted on a you tell 'em Nickels sentcha
Whiskey makes him talk

You ask for Captain with the mud on his kicks
He's the of the deadline steamer
And she sails from the across the river Styx
And a riddle's just a for a dreamer

'Cause when the weather sleepin' and the moon turns his back
You crawl on your 'long the railroad tracks
And your heart and hope to die and stick a needle in your eye
'Cause he'd cut my bleedin' out if he found out that I squealed

'Cause you see a scarecrow, it's a hoodlum
Who marked the cards he dealed
And pulled a gypsy
Out on the edge of Field
