Luyện nghe bài hát What a Way to Go

(B. David/J. Rushing)

I met him in Seattle, he was gettin' down on a
Telling lies in the Blue Bar
His face was and travelled, and as the wine unravelled
I saw a man who could about his scars

He said, I got shanghaied in by a painted woman
I got by a hustler in Ohio
I got derailed by a dancer down in
Oh Lord, he said, women gonna be the death of me but a way to go

He said a girl Nancy, once tickled his fancy
And backed it up with a fifty dollar
He laughed when he remembered, the pain of sweet
But heartaches never to cramp his style

He said, I got by a teacher in Tallahassee
I got french-fried by a waitress in
I got way-laid by a widow in
Oh Lord, he said, women gonna be the death of me but a way to go

He said, I got in Vegas by a painted woman
I got hog-tied by a hustler in
I got derailed by a down in Dallas
Oh Lord, he said, women gonna be the death of me but a way to go
