Six Oclock News — текст песни (John Prine)

Wanda had a baby in nineteen fifty one.

The father was stranger and a stranger was the son.

Call that child james lewis, call these rooms a home.

Changing all them diapers polish all that chrome.

Cmon, baby, spend the night with me



All around the schoolyard playing all the games

Running, laughing back and forth the kid with two first names

Stranger in the closet, lock the diary

The past is running faster singing harmony

Cmon, baby, spend the night with me



"god bless this kitchen" said the knick-knack shelf

"the dinners almost ready go and wash yourself"

Jimmys growing up now and wandas growing old

The time is growin shorter the nights are long and cold

Cmon, baby, spend the night with me



Sneaking in the closet and through the diary

Now, dont you know all he saw was all there was to see

The whole town saw jimmy on the six oclock news

His brains were on the sidewalk and blood was on his shoes

Cmon, baby, spend the night with me

Cmon, baby, spend the night with me
