Hart Brake Motel

歌詞

Down at the Hart Brake Motel My room it was so small, Ever' time I tried to smile My teeth would touch the wall, But I'm a-stayin' And a-payin'. I ain't got room to change my mind. I picked up my telephone. The manager said, "Hello." He said, "What's eatin' you?" I said, "That's what I'd like to know" An' I'm a-itchin' An' a-scratchin'. I'm wearin' out my fingernails. I walked up to the room clerk. He looked at me and said, "You can have a room, but you will have to make your bed." I said, "That's OK, buddy. I learned that from my ma." Then he reached out and handed me a hammer and a saw. And I'm a-nailin' and a-wailin' Here at the Hart Brake Motel. Here at the Hart Brake Motel I got a room with bath. Back home, I only had a room, and it just had a path. This outside plumbin' It's unbecomin'. It's really out of this world. The waiter in the dinin' room He filled my heart with cheer. He said I would enjoy it 'cause I could eat dirt cheap here, And he was so right. That was my last night, And now I'm checkin' out of here.
