Here's the story of a man and his family And a big trip that they took Well, I heard all about in a restaurant And I read it in a history bookThey rented a car at the Erie Canal But the car didn't have no brake Said ma to pa "My God this car Is gonna fall into the bottomless lake"Well, mama turned to daddy with a pale face Said "I've done something horribly wrong Well, the waters still runnin' in the bathtub And I think I left the kitchen light on"Then I heard a crash, the car when splash The compass rolled around and around Oh, for Heaven's sake! We fell in a lake And I think we're all gonna drownWe are falling down Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground Smoke 'em if you got 'em I'm so scared, I can hardly breathe I may never see my sweetheart againThere was plenty of food in the backseat And the windows were rolled up tight So we all nibbled on a chicken leg Told stories way thru the nightWell, pa told one that he told before And the baby got a bellyache Said ma to pa "My God this car's Falling down a bottomless lake"We are falling down Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground Smoke 'em if you got 'em I'm so scared, I can hardly breathe I may never see my sweetheart againWell papa played the music on the radio Mama rocked the baby to sleep He said, he would've taken the other road But he didn't think the lake was that deepWell, if the ferry had been there at the end of the pier We'd be half way to Uncle Jake's Instead of looking at fish out the window, I wish We'd hit the bottom of the bottomless lake'Stead of looking at fish out the window, I wish We'd hit the bottom of the bottomless lakeWe are falling down Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground Smoke 'em if you got 'em I'm so scared, I can hardly breathe I may never see my sweetheart againSo if you're ever goin' on a big trip You better be careful out there Start everything on your good foot Wear clean underwearTake along a Bible in the backseat Read of David and Solomon For if you make a mistake in the bottomless lake You may never see your sweetheart againIf you should make a mistake in the bottomless lake You may never see your sweetheart again If you should make a mistake in the bottomless lake You may never see your sweetheart again, that's right
Это интересно:Prine is the son of William Prine and Verna Hamm. Prine himself started playing guitar at age 14, taught by his brother, David. He was a postman for five years and served in the Army before beginning his musical career in Chicago.In the late 1960s, while Prine was still delivering mail in Maywood, Illinois, he began to sing at open-mic evenings at the Fifth Peg on Armitage Avenue. Prine was initially a spectator, reluctant to perform, but eventually did so in response to a "You think you can do better?" comment made to him by another performer. Chicago Sun-Times movie critic Roger Ebert heard him there and wrote the first review Prine ever received, calling him a great songwriter.... продолжение
