Текст песни Mark Twain - Harry Belafonte
Many
years
ago
on
the
Mississippi
riverboats
They
had
men
called
gaugers
And
the
job
of
a
gauger
was
to
hang
off
the
side
of
the
boat
with
one
hand
And
in
the
other
hand
he
had
a
ball
of
twine
with
a
hunk
a
lead
on
the
end
of
it
He'd
wield
the
lead
around
his
head
and
let
it
fly
into
the
water
Wherever
the
water
marked
the
twine
He'd
call
up
to
the
skipper
and
say
"Marking
on
the
twine
is
four
fathoms"
Of
course
day
in
and
day
out,
year
after
year,
this
would
get
pretty
monotonous
Until
in
the
1800's
a
little
man
came
along
and
revolutionized
the
whole
gauging
industry
Instead
of
saying
marking
on
the
twine
He
cut
it
short
and
said,
"Mark
Twain"
And
in
between
each
marking
he'd
fill
it
in
with
a
little
pattern
about
himself
And
his
every
day
life
Well
if
you'd
been
livin'
at
that
time
Coming
up
from
a
distance
on
the
Mississippi
It
would
have
sounded
like
this
Mark
Twain
Four
fathoms
off
the
starboard
bow
I
got
a
gal
named
Cindy-Lou
Feeds
me
gin
and
bake
beans
too
Mark
Twain
Mark
Twain
Three
fathoms
off
the
starboard
bow
I
got
a
friend
his
name
is
Pete
Sings
dirty
songs
down
on
Beel
street
Mark
Twain
Mark
Twain
Two
fathoms
off
the
starboard
bow
I've
been
working
the
river
since
'92
I
get
a
penny
a
day
and
bad
liquor
too
Mark
Twain
I
won't
save
my
money
'til
I
die
They
gon'
bury
me
all
but
my
good
right
eye
Mark
Twain
Mark
Twain
No
fathoms
off
the
starboard
bow
Look
out
skipper
pull
it
to
the
side
You
gon'
bust
your
bow
and
split
your
hide
Ooh,
great
God
we
done
run
aground
Skipper
gon'
chase
me
with
a
big
bloodhound
