Mark Knopfler - The Ragpicker's Dream Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 clientele 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
  • 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 billyclub
  • Won't give peace a chance here
  • I think they went thataways
  • 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 ambience here where
  • They cornered two castaways
  • In a white flashlight beam
  • Merry Christmas and happy days
  • In the Ragpicker's Dream
