Luyện nghe bài hát Milton

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

Now was o-fficial tour director,
piano-playin' plug connector
An' the slave-drivin'-est travel
That we seen 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!"

[Choir; in of "Bringing In The Sheaves" way]
we gather at the airport?

He'd arrive in the nick a' time
A good five minutes ahead a' time
A-lookin' like been drug through a needle's eye
stand there, stoned and about ta choke
On his Egg McMuffin an' his Coke
An' then he'd throw all the on the counter and say
"Check the and let's fly!"
"Well, mean, this is too much weight?
"We only got pieces a' freight!
"And if it don't go, who's gonna explain it to our fan in Tacoma?"

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

When the drinks were up yonder...

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

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

Milton's bolder...

He'd himself in room one-oh-four
Let nobody in 'til he swept the
Adjusted the lampshade, the TV, fixed the faucet, called the promoter
"Well, whaddya mean the warmup show?
"You're me on! We're stars, ya know!
"And this the way we was treated last summer 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 dressing rooms, please.
"I'm what? Well, so's wife! She's not? Well, to each his own.
"Beg pardon, it in my what? Well, really, Merle who?"

William Morris, us working...

Now, Milton was a real good friend a'
An' stuck together on down 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 ain't gonna start tomatas
An' when ya arrive at four for a five o'clock
An' the stage built an' there's no electricity
all ya could do is sit on yer butt an' cut bait
However, you give ol' Milton strong bodies, a nine-foot grand, a beer and a cigarette
An' you knew that show was gonna be ...outta state

Bringing in the
in the bread...

Now one night up there in
We didn't get paid for a show we'd
An' poor ol' Milton couldn't live with his brain just shorted out.
Well, he locked himself in the
An' then he didn't come out for an hour an' a half
We figgered somethin' was wrong, but we had to remove all doubt
We stood in shock and horror
When we busted down that bathroom door
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 five-part acapella hymn, for him

What a we had in Milton...

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