Little New Jersey Town

歌詞

Somewhere up in New Jersey there’s a little old sleepy town That goes to bed and rises with the sun The highway cuts its way through the hollows and the hay-fields And through the town the wisping cars have spun There’s a little boy who lives just a half a mile away Who walks along the highway everyday A couple a years ago away from home the young boy strayed And he lost his arm unto a trapper’s blade Have you seen a young blue hound Have you seen the boy around Have you driven through a little old Jersey Town Well the day finally came as to all boys does the same That the boy would start up at the red brick school But the other kids made fun without knowing what they’d done So he quickly learned about the golden rule Have you seen a young blue hound Have you seen the boy around Have you driven through a little old Jersey Town Deep down in the woods where the lonesome boy had stood He saw a hound dog shivering in the snow The path did stretch and wind as the hound-dog tagged behind So on the way to home the two did go Have you seen a young blue hound Have you seen the boy around Have you driven through a little old Jersey Town The young boy and the hound took the blessing that they’d found And washed away the sadness and the gloom Their love grew deep and wide as they combed the countryside And all around the happiness did bloom Have you seen a young blue hound Have you seen the boy around Have you driven through a little old Jersey Town The hound would always wait at the rusty old school gate For his pal to finish up the day Till one day the boy did find how the world was so unkind And in the road his only friend it lay Have you seen a young blue hound Have you seen the boy around Have you driven through a little old Jersey Town
