Luyện nghe bài hát Milton

Now, I'll tell ya a that'll bust yer heart
only a few people knew, ta start
It all place when our concert tour was booked at the SeaTac Hilton?
I'll guarantee ev'ry the Gospel truth
Got witnesses ta it, too,
'Cause we all toured with a fella by the a' Milton

Now Milton was tour director,
Electrical piano-playin' plug
An' the slave-drivin'-est travel
That we ever in our lives
He'd say "Whaddya mean, ya more rest?
"The world don't care whether ya yer best!
"Simply show up promptly at six A.M. with instruments ...and your wives!"

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

He'd always arrive in the nick a'
A good five minutes ahead a' flight
A-lookin' like he'd been drug through a eye
He'd stand there, stoned and about ta
On his Egg an' his giant Coke
An' then throw all the tickets on the counter and say
"Check the bags and fly!"
"Well, whaddya mean, this is too weight?
"We only got pieces a' freight!
"And if it go, who's gonna explain it to our fan club in Tacoma?"

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

When the drinks were up yonder...

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

Now Milton took all a' stuff in stride
Laid on the floor, an' an' cried
But we looked up to him for hope and salvation
But we'd to the bottom a' trav'lers hell
When check us in a remote motel
And he'd the clerk by his shirt an' tie an' say
"Whaddya mean, reservacines?"

Milton's bolder...

He'd shut himself in one-oh-four
Let nobody in 'til he the floor
Adjusted the lampshade, aligned the TV, the faucet, called the promoter
"Well, whaddya mean we're the warmup
"You're puttin' me on! stars, ya know!
"And this ain't the way we was treated last at Six Flags Over Dakota!
"Now we gotta a hunnert percent top billing,
"Two-thirds in advance, a' course, you silly!
"I'm sure we prefer a chauffered limosine and two air-conditioned rooms, please.
"I'm what? Well, so's your wife! She's not? Well, to his own.
"Beg pardon, stick it in my Well, really, Merle who?"

William Morris, us working...

Now, Milton was a real good a' mine
An' we'd stuck together on that line
But there was one or two points over which we just had to
takin'-your-clothes-off-an'-hangin'-from-a-cross-in-front-a'-the-Tri-County-Fairgrounds
Is not necessarily an assurance that the crowd gonna start throwin' tomatas
An' ya arrive at four for a five o'clock show
An' the stage ain't built an' there's no
About all ya could do is sit on yer butt an' cut
However, you give ol' Milton strong bodies, a nine-foot grand, a beer and a cigarette
An' you just knew that show was gonna be ...outta

Bringing in the
in the bread...

Now one night up in Washington
We didn't get paid for a show we'd
An' poor ol' Milton couldn't live 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 figgered that somethin' was wrong, but we had to remove all
We stood in shock and horror
When we busted down that there bathroom
And I hope I never see a like that again; no, I don't
was nothin' to do but close our eyes, an' bow our heads, an' vocalize
With a silent five-part hymn, for him

What a we had in Milton...

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