Текст песни The Strange Death Of John Doe - The Almanac Singers
Sometimes,
hungover,
he
might
lose
a
pop
fly
in
the
glare
of
the
Washington
sun.
And
yes,
he
swung
at
bad
pitches,
and
let
the
Irish
in
him
sharpen
up
and
boozy-bloat
his
tongue.
Nights
on
the
road
he
led
a
bachelor's
life,
with
the
bright
short
blaze
of
a
shooting
star.
But
he
soaked
some
homers—yeah,
four
in
one
game--when
the
ball
was
dead
and
the
fences
far.
Big
Ed
don't
let
them
weigh
you
down.
Big
Ed
don't
let
us
weigh
you
down.
In
July
1903
he
was
hitting
.333;
for
him
that
was
a
little
bit
under
par.
On
the
2nd
he
jumped
the
team
and
jumped
a
train
from
Detroit
to
New
York,
went
straight
for
the
dining
car.
He
was
boozing
it
up
good,
they
say,
making
trouble,
cursing,
shouting,
Delahanting
in
the
bar.
At
Fort
Erie,
Ontario,
he
was
bumped
from
the
train,
wandered
out
on
the
international
bridge
but
he
didn't
get
too
far.
Big
Ed
don't
let
them
weigh
you
down.
Big
Ed
don't
let
us
weigh
you
down.
The
night
watchman
said
he'd
seen
a
man,
ended
up
wearing
his
bowler
hat;
he
heard
a
splash
but
he
didn't
see
him
fall.
For
a
week
no
one
found
a
clue
of
him.
What
good's
it
do
to
question
death
when
it
makes
a
bad
call?
But
I
don't
think
he
killed
himself.
I
think
some
strange
notion
drew
him
to
Niagara
Falls,
Across
the
curve
of
day
and
night,
like
the
perfect
arch
of
a
high
fly
ball.
