The Late John Garfield Blues

Song	The Late John Garfield Blues
Artist	John Prine
Album	Great Days: The John Prine Anthology

	Lyrics：John Prine Music：John Prine
	Black faces pressed against the glass
	Where rain has pressed it's weight
	Wind blown scarves in top down cars
	All share one western trait
	Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks
	From winos to dime-store jews
	Probably don't know they give me
	These late john garfield blues
	Midnight fell on franklin street
	And the lamppost bulbs were broke
	For the life of me, i could not see
	But i heard a brand new joke
	Two men were standing upon a bridge
	One jumped and screamed you lose
	And just left the odd man holding
	Those late john garfield blues
	An old man sleeps with his conscience at night
	Young kids sleep with their dreams
	While the mentally ill sit perfectly still
	And live through life's in-betweens
	I'm going away to the last resort
	In week or two real soon
	Where the fish don't bite but once a night
	By the cold light of the moon
	The horses scream- the nightmares dream
	And the dead men all wear shoes
	'cause everybody's dancin'
	Those late john garfield blues

	Black faces pressed against the glass
	Where rain has pressed it' s weight
	Wind blown scarves in top down cars
	All share one western trait
	Sadness leaks through tearstained cheeks
	From winos to dimestore jews
	Probably don' t know they give me
	These late john garfield blues
	Midnight fell on franklin street
	And the lamppost bulbs were broke
	For the life of me, i could not see
	But i heard a brand new joke
	Two men were standing upon a bridge
	One jumped and screamed you lose
	And just left the odd man holding
	Those late john garfield blues
	An old man sleeps with his conscience at night
	Young kids sleep with their dreams
	While the mentally ill sit perfectly still
	And live through life' s inbetweens
	I' m going away to the last resort
	In week or two real soon
	Where the fish don' t bite but once a night
	By the cold light of the moon
	The horses scream the nightmares dream
	And the dead men all wear shoes
	' cause everybody' s dancin'
	Those late john garfield blues
