[00:00.00] 作曲 : Dylan
[00:01.00] 作词 : Dylan
[00:13.740] The city fathers they're trying to endorse
[00:17.620] The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
[00:21.440] But the town has no need to be nervous
[00:24.730]
[00:26.070] The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits
[00:31.590] To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
[00:35.290] A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
[00:39.200] At the head of the chamber of commerce
[00:42.130]
[00:43.330] Mama's in the factory
[00:44.960] She ain't got no shoes
[00:47.080] Daddy's in the alley
[00:48.710] He's looking for the foods
[00:51.190] I'm in the kitchen
[00:52.980] With the tombstone blues
[00:55.380]
[00:57.470] The hysterical bride in the penny arcade
[01:05.180] Screaming she moans, "I've just been made"
[01:09.440] Then sends out for the doctor who pulls down the shade
[01:13.090] Says, "My advice is to not let the boys in"
[01:16.510]
[01:18.400] Now the medicine man comes and he shuffles inside
[01:23.940] He walks with a swagger and he says to the bride
[01:27.930] "Stop all this weeping, swallow your pride
[01:31.550] You will not die, it's not poison"
[01:35.720]
[01:36.130] Mama's in the factory
[01:37.360] She ain't got no shoes
[01:40.070] Daddy's in the alley
[01:41.360] He's looking for the foods
[01:43.600] I'm in the kitchen
[01:45.300] With the tombstone blues
[01:57.580]
[01:58.460] Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief
[02:02.280] Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
[02:06.050] Saying, "Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
[02:09.850] Is there a hole for me to get sick in?"
[02:13.270]
[02:14.390] The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
[02:18.890] Saying, "Death to all those who would whimper and cry"
[02:22.710] And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
[02:26.260] Saving, "The sun's not yellow it's chicken"
[02:30.270]
[02:30.860] Mama's in the factory
[02:32.240] She ain't got no shoes
[02:34.350] Daddy's in the alley
[02:36.270] He's looking for the foods
[02:38.810] I'm in the kitchen
[02:40.170] With the tombstone blues
[02:44.240]
[02:45.670] The king of the Philistines his soldiers to save
[02:51.520] Put jawbones on their tombstones and flatters their graves
[02:57.180] Puts the pied pipers in prison and fattens the slaves
[03:00.890] Then sends them out to the jungle
[03:03.890]
[03:05.080] Gypsy Davey with a blowtorch he burns out their camps
[03:12.240] With his faithful slave Pedro behind him he tramps
[03:15.390] With a fantastic collection of stamps
[03:19.350] To win friends and influence his uncle
[03:22.420]
[03:23.790] Mama's in the factory
[03:25.960] She ain't got no shoes
[03:27.820] Daddy's in the alley
[03:29.980] He's looking for the foods
[03:31.860] I'm in the kitchen
[03:34.030] With the tombstone blues
[03:38.630]
[03:39.990] The geometry of innocence flesh on the bone
[03:52.650] Causes Galileo's math book to get thrown
[03:56.360] At Delilah who sits worthlessly alone
[04:00.120] But the tears on her cheeks are from laughter
[04:03.430]
[04:04.950] Now I wish I could give Brother Bill his great thrill
[04:11.500] I would set him in chains at the top of the hill
[04:15.350] Then send out for some pillars and Cecil B. DeMille
[04:19.300] He could die happily ever after
[04:22.330]
[04:23.720] Mama's in the factory
[04:24.980] She ain't got no shoes
[04:27.130] Daddy's in the alley
[04:28.990] He's looking for the foods
[04:31.250] I'm in the kitchen
[04:33.330] With the tombstone blues
[04:35.750]
[04:41.840] Where Ma Raney and Beethoven once unwrapped their bed roll
[04:58.220] Tuba players now rehearse around the flagpole
[05:02.080] And the National Bank at a profit sells road maps for the soul
[05:06.270] To the old folks home and the college
[05:09.310]
[05:12.560] Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain
[05:16.640] That could hold you dear lady from going insane
[05:20.620] That could ease you and cool you and cease the pain
[05:24.280] Of your useless and pointless knowledge
[05:28.670]
[05:30.880] Mama's in the factory
[05:31.790] She ain't got no shoes
