Текст песни Uncle John Farquhar (I Guess I Did Alright) - Goodnight , Texas

Started work when I was ten, like my father did back then
Drivin' Pittsburg steel with hammers under flames;
Fifty years up in that mill, I nearly killed myself and still
I ain't got no dollar bill to my name;

Old bill Hicks from nowhere's middle, Taught me how to play the fiddle
In East Ohio there ain't too much goin' on,
But we like it that way here, not much changes every year,
Except the whiskey jug gets lower till it's gone

At the same old screen door, that the dogs scratch through,
And the same old wood floor, underneath my shoe
And the same old woman makin' chicken every night...
Yeah I guess I did alright.

I was only seventeen, met a girl from Bowling Green,
It was the fieriest kind of winter fling;
She got pregnant with my son, I didn't have nowhere to run,
So I manned up and we married in the Spring

At the same old screen door, that the dogs scratch through,
And the same old wood floor, underneath my shoe
And the same old woman causin' trouble every night...
Yeah I guess I did alright.

Started work when I was ten, like my father did back then
Drivin' Pittsburg steel with hammers under flames;
Now I'm nearly sixty-eight, got a gal that sets me straight,
And I've got supper on my plate, and I've got grandkids on the way
And I owe money to the state, because my taxes are all late,
But if you think I care then you're just makin' noise;

At the same old screen door, that the dogs scratch through,
And the same old wood floor, underneath my shoe
And the same old woman leavin' on that old porch light...
Yeah I guess I did alright.
