Original title: Tom Traubert´s Blues Written by: Tom Waits (1976)
(Sung by Tico Torres)
Wasted and wounded, it ain´t what the mood did, I´ve got what I prayed for now I´ll see you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, You´ll go waltzing Mathilda with me
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 Stacys are soaking wet to go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, You´ll go waltzing Mathilda with me
Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I´ve kissed her And the one-armed bandit knows
That the maverick Chinaman with his cold-blooded style And the girls stand by the strip-tease shows, go Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, You´ll go waltzing Mathilda with me
Now I don´t want your sympathy, the fugitive says That the streets ain´t for dreaming now Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories, want a piece of the action anyhow Go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, You´ll go waltzing Mathilda with me
It´s a battered old suitcase in a hotel someplace, And a wound that will never heal No prima donnas, the perfume is on
It´s an old shirt that´s stained with blood and whiskey And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen, the flame keepers Goodnight Mathilda, too And Goodnight Mathilda, too
