Traubert's Blues - Tom Waits (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Tom Traubert's Blues (Four Sheets To The Wind In Copenhagen) (Tom Waits, 1976). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-10-03. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"Tom Traubert's Blues (Four Sheets To The Wind In Copenhagen)," written by Tom Waits, was released in 1976 and was the first track on his third album "Small Change" (Whitburn, 2006). According to Waits, Tom Traubert "was a friend of a friend of mine... who lived in Denver, and died in jail. He's a real guy. So, . . . it's about going on the loose, being on the road, chasing your dream" (songfacts, 2022). Waits wrote this song after visiting skid row in Los Angeles, drinking a pint of rye whiskey and throwing up (songfacts, 2022).

Lyrics:
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
I got what I paid for now
See ya tomorrow, hey Frank can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English, and everything's broken
And my Stacys are soaking wet
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me
Now the dogs are barking
And the taxicabs parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me
You tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old Bushmills I staggered
You buried the dagger in
Your silhouette window light
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me
Now I've lost my St. Christopher
Now that I've kissed her and the
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman, and the cold-blooded signs
And the girls down by the strip tease shows go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me
No, I don't want your sympathy
The fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
They want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And you can ask any sailor
And the keys from the jailer
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That Matilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And it's a battered old suitcase
To a hotel someplace
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donna, the perfume is on
An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers
The night watchman flame keepers
And goodnight Matilda, too
