Luyện nghe bài hát The Best of All Possible Worlds

I was runnin' through the summer
Tryin' to the evenin' train
An' kill that old pain
Weavin' my tangled brain
But when I tipped my bottle
I into a cop I didn't see

That policeman said, "Mister
If you ain't drunk, then a fool"
I said, "If that's the law
Then me why I never saw
A man locked in jail of yours
Who wasn't as low down poor as me?

Well, was when someone turned out the lights
An' I up in jail to spend the night
An' dream of all the wine an' lonely
In this best of all worlds

Well, I up next mornin'
Feelin' like my head was
An' like my thick old tongue was
sick an' wrong
An' I told man I'd sell my soul
For somethin' wet an' cold as that old

kindly jailer grinned at me
All eaten up with
Then poured he self another
An' an' whispered in my ear
"If booze was a dime a bottle, boy
You couldn't buy the smell"

I said, "I knew there was somethin' I liked about this
But it takes more than that to bring me down, down,
'Cause still a lot of wine an' lonely girls
In this best of all worlds

Well, finally came an' told me
They was a gonna set me
An' I'd be leavin'
If I what was good for me
I said, "It's to learn
everybody's so concerned about my health"

I said, "I won't be leavin' no
than I can
'Cause I've about as much
Of this as I can
An' I don't need this of yours
More I never needed nothin' else"

'Cause there's still a lot of drinks I ain't drunk
An' lots of pretty thoughts that I thunk
An' Lord, there's so many lonely girls
In this best of all possible
