Tom Trauberts Blues

Intro: 1.: Wasted and wounded, it ain?t what the moon did I?ve got what I paid for now See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow A couple of bucks from you to go Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you?ll go waltzing Matilda with me 2.: I?m an innocent victim of a blinded alley And I?m tired of all these soldiers here No one speaks english and everything?s broken And my strength is soaking away to go Waltzing Matilda,... 3.: Now I?ve lost my St. Christopher Now that I?ve kissed her And the one-armed bandit knows And the maverick chinaman with the cold blooded signs And the girls down by the striptease shows go Waltzing Matilda,... 4.: No, I don?t want your sympathy The fugitives say, that the streets aren?t for dreaming now Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories They want a piece of the action anyhow go Waltzing Matilda,... 5.: And it?s a battered old suitcase To a hotel someplace And a wound that will never heal No primadonnas, the perfume is on An old shirt that is stained With blood and whiskey And it?s good-night for the street-sweepers, The nightwatchmen, flame-keepers And goodnight matilda, too Outro: Goodnight Matilda, too
