Текст (слова) песни: Tom T. Hall - Salute To A Switchblade



Me and Yates an army buddy o`mine were doin` three years in Germany at the time
We came upon these Frauleins in the bar
Yates said darf isch zee be-gleit-en they said ya
(And darf isch zee be-gleit-en means can we sit with you all)
Oh we must have drunk ten quarts of German beer
My conscience and my sinuses were clear
I asked that Fraulein if she was a spy she said nein but do bis ain bissel high
(A condition not uncommon to the American soldier)
Well later on I went to be excused when I returned I was a bit confused
Yates and his Fraulein had hit the air another guy was sittin` in my chair
(A young soldier whom we shall get to know better)
I said excuse me Mister that`s my seat I`d like to have it back sir if you please
That girl`s a nurse and I`ve been awful sick the man looked up at me and said mox-nix
(Which means that he was not overly concerned with my health)

Next thing I knew he had a switchblade knife
Lord I didn`t know that Fraulein was his wife
I took off through that Gasthaus like a fool behind me I heard the crashing stools
(As the police would say he was in hot pursuit)
Well the waitress yelled there`s MPs on the way
That`s one more reason I didn`t want to stay
As I went out the window somethin` went switch
And I giggled all the way home knowin` he missed
(At the time it seemed like a laughing matter)
But next morning my coat was lyin` there on the bunk
And when I saw that coat it made me jump
That man had cut my coat right down the back
A little bit more and they`d been playin` me taps
(And knowin` the sad nature of that song I would decline it)
Well later on I heard that guy got stabbed
They sent him home and didn`t that make me glad
On love and marriage I want to say one thing oh lady if you`re married wear that ring
(And the army has a new policy if you can`t move it paint it
If it has a switchblade knife salute it
Not necessarily an incident one would want to write Mother about
Germany being full of good soldiers good people)
