John Doe No. 24* (Album Version) 歌詞

Songs Title:john doe no. 24


I was standing on this sidewalk in 1945 in jacksonville, illinois

When asked what my name was there came no reply
They i said was a deaf and sightless half-wit boy

But lewis was my name though i could not say it

I was born and raised in new orleans

My spirit was wild so i let the river take it

On a barge and a prayer upstream

They searched for a mother and they searched for a father
And they searchedtil they searched no more

The doctors put to rest their scientific test

And they named me john doe no. 24

And they all shook their heads in pity

For a world so silent and dark

Well theres no doubt that lifes a mystery

But so too is the human heart

And it was my hearts own perfume
when the crape jasmine bloomed on st. charles avenue

Though i couldnt hear the bells of the streetcars coming

By toeing the track i knew

And if i were an old man returning

With my satchel and pork pie hat

Id hit every jazz joint on bourbon

And id hit every one on basin after that

The years kept passing as they passed me around
From one state ward to another

Like i was an orphaned shoe from the lost and found
Always missing the other

They gave me a harp last christmas

And all the nurses took a dance

Lately ive been growing listless

Been dreaming again of the past
Im wandering down to the banks of the great big muddy

Where the shotgun houses stand

I am seven years old and i feel my daddy

Reach out for my hand

While i drew breath no one missed me

So they wont on the day that i cease

Put a sprig of crape jasmine with me

To remind me of new orleans

I was standing on this sidewalk in 1945 in jacksonville, illinois....
