Blues da Bandana Vermelha

Red Bandana Blues

Capo 2Capo 2

Dois malucos coloridos, com a cabeça frita, que moravam em uma casinha no fundo do bosque de BodarkTwo tied-dyed brain fried misfits who lived in a shack in the back of the bodark Woods
Um cara de Caddo e uma garota de Crockett se esforçavam pra ficar chapados o máximo que podiamA Caddo guy and a Crockett girl worked hard at staying stoned as best they could
Chegando à noite, estavam altos como a lua de NatalComing up in the night they were high as a Christmas moon
Descer era o medo dentro das quatro paredes do quarto delesComing down was the fear in the four walls of their room
Eram dois viciados hardcore e estavam mais bêbados que um bando de macacosThey were two hardcore junkies and they stayed drunker than a bunch of monkeys
Havia barris de risadas e nenhum tempo a perderThere were barrels of laughter with no time left to lose
Tiveram pesadelos e agulhas, com os Stones e os BeatlesThey had nightmares and needles, with the Stones and the Beatles
Deixavam todos os empresários certinhos confusosthey kept all the straight laced businessmen confused
E os dias passavam com o blues da bandana vermelhaand the days went by with the red bandana blues

Bem, a hera crescia sobre seus lares celestiaisWell ivy was grown o'r their heavenly homes
E suas únicas companhias eram as galinhas e os pombosAnd their only companions were the chickens and the doves
Quando a polícia os pegou, se esconderam na sombraWhen the law had em' made they got laid in the shade
E seus rostos eram a graça do bom Senhor lá de cimaAnd their face was the grace from the good lord up above
Fazer amor no mato era tranquilo na maior parte do tempoMaking love in the woods was peaceful most of the time
A revolução era a última coisa em suas mentesThe revolution was the last thing on their minds
Eram durões, boca suja e preguiçosos, comiam biscoitos e molhoThey were tough, foul mouthed and lazy, they ate biscuits and gravy
Usavam calças boca de sino e sapatos plataformaThey wore blue bell-bottomed jeans and platform shoes
Espantavam os insetos, enquanto riam dos caipirasThey slapped at the insects, while they laughed at the rednecks
Deixavam todos os empresários certinhos confusosThey kept all the straight laced businessmen confused
E os dias passavam com o blues da bandana vermelha, tudo certoAnd the days went by with the red bandana blues, all right
Usavam suspensórios pretos em dias de bebedeiraThey wore black suspenders on all day benders
E o mundo estava mudando, as crianças estavam soltasAnd the world was changing and the kids were running wild
Ficaram com cabelos brancos sentados em cadeiras de balançoThey got grey hairs sat in rocking chairs
E construíram um grande berço para uma nova criança do amorAnd built a great big cradle for a new born flower child
E nunca cresceram e nunca se mudaram pra cidadeAnd they never grew up and they never moved to town
Mas meio que desapareceram quando os Bodarks foram cortadosBut they kind of faded away when the Bodarks got cut down
Tiveram má sorte e bons momentos, cerveja gelada e torresmoThey had bad luck and good times, cold beer and pork rinds
E as tirinhas de domingo eram a única notícia que valia a penaAnd the Sunday funnies were the only worthy news
Tiveram pesadelos e agulhas, com os Stones e os BeatlesThey had nightmares and needles, with the Stones and the Beatles
Deixavam todos os empresários certinhos confusosThey kept all the straight laced businessmen confused
É, eram desprezíveis e sem valor, mas eram legais na superfícieYeah, they were low down and worthless but they were nice on the surface
Se viravam bem com o que podiam usarThey got by just fine on whatever they could use
E quanto mais se metiam em encrenca, mais cultivavam suas plantações de maconhaAnd in trouble they got deeper as they grew their crops of reefer
Porque negócios e prazer eram duas palavras que confundiamBecause business and pleasure were two words they got confused
E os dias passavam com o blues da bandana vermelha, heyAnd the days went by with the red bandana blues, hey
