Текст песни "Parade — That's What He Said"
DORSEY
I call Jim Conley!
CONLEY
He tol’ me to watch the door,
“Watch the door”that’s what he said.
That’s what he saidI should make sure
No one came and interrupted.
I’d say once or twice a month,
He’d tell me, “Jim, you watch the door
I got a lady comin’.I got a lady comin’”
Like I said, once or twice a month,
There’d be a lady come to call
And he’d say, “Jim, you watch the door,”
That’s what he said.
And once, I remember it was two ladies.Another time, there was a black gentleman, I believe he said he was from Chicago…
ROSSER
Objection!
JUDGE ROAN
Mr. Dorsey, will you instruct your witness to answer only the questions put to him?
DORSEY
Jim, do you understand the man?
CONLEY
Yessir.
DORSEY
All right, then. Jim, will you tell us about the mornin’ of April 26?
CONLEY
The day of the parade?
He tol’ me to watch the door.
“Watch the door,” that’s what he said.
That’s what he said“I got a girl,
She’ll be comin’ up to see me,
She’s a very pretty girl”
He said“Don’t let me catch you lookin’ at
Miss Mary Perkins.”
That’s what he called her, I think,
“Miss Mary Perkins.”
So when this Mary came to call.
I kep’ my eyes down to the floor
‘Cause Mr. Frank said not to look,
That’s what he said.
Well, next thing, Mr. Frank is yellin’ somethin’, so I run upstairs, and I open the door, and Mr. Frank looks up.
He said, “We were playin’ a game!
Playin’ a game!” That’s what he said
That’s what he said, and little Mary’s
Kinda crumpled in the corner.
He said, “You don’t understand
She didn’t want to play the game,
And so I went and hit her
You see, I had to hit her”
He told me I should go and look,
He said she’s actin’ like she’s sick,
And I said, “Lawd, that chil’ is dead!”
That’s what I said!
And he said, “No! No!
It ain’t my fault that girl is dead!”
He said, “No! No!”
That’s what he said.
He said, “No! No!”
And his eyes were wild and his face was red,
He said, “No!”
“No!”
That’s what he said!
He said, “Gotta get her out
Let’s get her out!” That’s what he said.
And so I found me
This ol’ gunny sack and wrapped ‘er.
He said, “You’re a good boy, Jim-
I know you won’t tell no one nothin’
Here’s a hundred dollars!”
I got a hundred dollars
and so I put her on my back
We took the elevator down.
He said, “Jus throw her on the ground!”
That’s what he said.
Yes, he said
“No!”
“No!”
“There ain’t no reason I should hang!”
You got money in your pocket
and there’s plenty more o’ that
I got wealthy friends an’ fam’ly,
and a wife who’s dumb and fat
I got rich folks out in Brooklyn
if I need somewheres to go
And these stupid rednecks never gonna
know!”
“No!”
“It ain’t my fault that girl is dead!”
He said, “No!”
“No!”
That’s what he said!
He said, “No!”
“No!”
And his eyes were wild and his face was red
He said, “No!”
That’s what he said.
