In the month called April, county called Gray, And here’s what all of the people there say: So long, it’s been good to know yuh; So long, it’s been good to know yuh; So long, it’s been good to know yuh. This dusty old dust is a-gettin’ my home, And I got to be driftin’ along. ---

When life seems full of clouds an’ rain and I am filled with naught but pain, who soothes my thumpin’ bumpin’ brain ? Nobody . . . When winter comes with snow an’ sleet, and me with hunger and cold feet, who says " Ah, here’s two bits, go an’ eat!" Nobody . . . I ain’t never done nothin’ to nobody, I ain’t never got nothin’ from nobody, no time! And until I get somethin’ from somebody, sometime, I don’t intend to do nothin’ for nobody, no time! ---

When you’re alone and life is making you lonely, You can always go downtown. When you’ve got worries, all the noise and the hurry Seems to help, I know, downtown Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city. Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty. How can you lose? The lights are much brighter there You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares So, go downtown! Things will be great when you’re downtown! No finer place for sure, downtown! Everything’s waiting for you! ---

Watch her out there on display Dancing in her sleepy way And all her visions start to play The icicles of our decay, Marlene Drink it to Marlene Fading flowers in her hair She’s suffering from wear and tear She lies in waterfalls of dreams And doesn’t question what it means, Marlene We drink it to Marlene And all along the desert shore She wanders further evermore The only thing that’s left to try She says to live I have to die, Marlene We drink it to Marlene Marlene We drink it to Marlene She whispers sadly, “Well I might” And holds herself so very tight Then jumping from an unknown height She merges with the liquid night, Marlene ---

There’s still some things that you don’t understand, now. Before you ask some girl for her hand, now, Keep your freedom for as long as you can, now.
