Red Bandana — текст песни (Randy Newman)

Left Los Angeles a short while ago
Flew `cross the country back to Buffalo
Walked around through the sleet and the snow
With a red bandana on my head
Saw my momma on 12th and Grand
Standing in the alley with the junkyard man
They were both so loaded they could hardly stand
Talkin` `bout going to Mexico
I said Momma I was born
Out there I was born again
Been clear to California and back
Was out there so long many times I thought I was dead
She said, Sonny what`s that you got wrapped around your head?

It`s a Red Bandana
It`s a Red Bandana
It`s a Red Bandana
It`s from Hollywood USA

Looked for the woman I used to love
Seen her in a bar off the Harlem road
Talking in a booth with Charley Hobbs
And this ugly little dude whom I didn`t know

She said Honey you`re back I`m so glad
When you was gone I was so sad
You come in here lookin` so bad
With that red bandana on your head
With that red bandana on your head

Yes! It`s a Red Bandana
It`s a Red Bandana
It`s a Red Bandana
And it`s red just like your blood is
