The Ragpicker's Dream
Lyricist:Mark Knopfler
When Jack Frost came for Christmas With a brass monkey date The rail king and the scarecrow Hopped a Florida freight
And they blew on their paper cups And stared through the steam Then they drank half a bottle Of ragpicker's dream where
The Whiskey keeps following Cold pitchers of Beer Me and my associate Like the clientèle here get
The onions and the 'taters Rib eyes on the grill Toothpicks and luckies And a coffee refill as
The rail king lay rocking He was leaving the ground Then he was flying like Santa Claus Over the town where
He came to the window Of a house by a stream It was a family Christmas In the ragpicker's dream there
Were kids at the table All aglow in the light Music in the wintertime Sure carries at night there
Was turkey and gravy Pie and ice cream And gifts for each and everyone In the ragpicker's dream where
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The red eye keeps tumbling In our glasses of Beer Me and my associate Like the service in here there's
A ten for your trouble You have beautiful hair Make the last one two doubles It's a cold one out there where
The scarecrow and the rail king Have started to dance But a nightstick and a billy club Won't give peace a chance here
I think they went that aways Your song and dance team Heading home for the holidays With the ragpicker's dream on
His knees like a fighter The rail riding king Like a sack of potatoes Like a bull in the ring where
The scarecrow falls over With a tear in the seam Home for the rover In the ragpicker's dream where
The red eye keeps tumbling Like tears in our beer Me and my associate Like the ambiance here where
They cornered two castaways In a white flashlight beam Merry Christmas and happy days In the ragpicker's dream
