Mark Twain (Original Mix) - Harry Belafonte (哈里·贝拉方特)
Written by：Trad Arr Belafonte
Many years ago on the Mississippi riverboats
They had men called gaugers
And the job of a gauger
Was to hang off
The side of the boat with one hand
And in the other hand he had a ball of twine
With a hunk a lead on the end of it
He'd wield the lead above his head
And let it fly into the water
Wherever the water marked the twine
He'd call up to the skipper and say
Marking on the twine is four fathoms
'Cause then and there year after year
It was getting pretty monotonous
Until in the eighteen hundreds
A little man
Came along and revolutionized the
Whole gauging industry
Instead of saying marking on the twine
He cut it short and said
Mark twain
And in between each marking
Fill it in with a little pattern about himself
And his every day life
Well if you'd been living at that time
Coming up from a distance on the Mississippi
It would have sounded like this
Mark twain
Four fathoms off the starboard bow
I got a gal named Cindy Lou
Feeds me gin and bake beans too
Mark twain
Mark twain
Three fathoms off the starboard bow
I got a friend his name is Pete
Sings dirty songs down on beel street
Hahahha hahahah
Mark twain
Mark twain
Two fathoms off the starboard bow
I've been working the river since ninety two
I get a penny a day and bad liquor too
Mark twain
I won't save my money
'Till I die
They gonna bury me all but my good right eye
Haahahaha
Mark twain
Mark twain
No fathoms off the starboard bow
Look out skipper pull it to the side
You gonna bust your bow and split your hide
Oh great
God we done run it down
Skipper gonna chase me with a big blood hound
Mark twain
