Fish And Whistle — текст песни (John Prine)

I been thinking lately about the people I meet
The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street
The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet
And I`m wondering if I`m gonna see tomorrow.

Father forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us we`ll forgive you
We`ll forgive each other till we both turn blue
Then we`ll whistle and go fishing in heaven.

I was in the army but I never dug a trench
I used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench
Then I`d go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch
But I don`t think they ever even noticed me.

Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
Eat everything that they put on your dish
And when we get through we`ll make a big wish
That we never have to do this again again? again????

On my very first job I said thank you and please
They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees
Then I got fired for being scared of bees
And they only give me fifty cents an hour.
