[00:00.00]Rudy - The Be Good Tanyas
[00:04.99]Rudy lives on the borderline
[00:08.32]Between civilization and basic survival
[00:12.59]And the summertime treats him fairly well
[00:16.21]But the wintertime is a dirty cold rival
[00:20.43]It's wintertime now in Georgetown
[00:24.44]The streets come alive with the Christmas light
[00:27.81]And Rudy sleeps on a warm air grate
[00:31.81]With a newspaper blanket on December nights
[00:38.75]Deck the halls
[00:40.23]Rudolph the red nosed wino knows it's Christmas time
[00:45.65]Jingle bells and Christmas shoppers
[00:49.64]Dashing through the snow
[00:53.64]God rest ye merry gentlemen
[00:56.34]Who've found it in your hearts
[00:58.69]To flip Rudy a thin
[01:00.55]And I'll be home for Christmas
[01:04.07]But this man has no place to go
[01:11.27]Christmas has a meaning at all
[01:14.84]The people of greed and incredible waste
[01:18.37]They seek the deeper meaning in the shopping mall
[01:22.17]In a yuletide spirit of impatience and hate
[01:26.63]Rudy is a patient man
[01:29.85]Who tries to see the beauty in everything
[01:33.86]Yes and not a very demanding soul
[01:37.93]Whose only wish is to live until the spring
[01:46.14]Nobody knows the reasons why
[01:49.67]Things turn out like the way they do
[01:53.22]And there ain't no one to tell you
[01:55.48]The reasons why
[01:57.11]There's fortunate folks like me and you
[02:01.41]Rudy must have people somewhere
[02:04.72]Who wonder what became of the man
[02:08.80]And Rudy must wonder the same damn thing
[02:12.54]As the crowd passes by
[02:14.10]And he sticks out his hand
[02:21.39]Deck the halls
[02:22.58]Rudolph the red nosed wino knows it's Christmas time
[02:28.14]Jingle bells in the Christmas shop
[02:31.65]Others dashing through the snow
[02:36.09]God rest ye merry gentlemen
[02:39.00]Who have found it in your hearts
[02:41.14]To flip Rudy a thin
[02:43.61]And I'll be home for Christmas
[02:46.55]But this man has no place to go
[02:53.28]Rudy died on the borderline
[02:56.60]Of a civilized world on Christmas eve
[03:00.63]You know the shoppers shopped
[03:02.42]And the temperatures dropped
[03:04.30]On a man whose absence
[03:06.47]Won't be grieved
[03:08.55]Peace on the soul of the cop
[03:11.14]Who found him dead in a booth
[03:13.05]With his hand frozen to a telephone
[03:15.62]You know I think I know
[03:17.81]Who he had on the line
[03:19.84]And Rudy won't spend this Christmas alone
[03:28.34]Deck the halls
[03:29.62]Rudolph the red nosed wino knows it's Christmas time
[03:35.21]Jingle bells in the Christmas shop
[03:38.70]Others dashing through the snow
[03:43.00]God rest ye merry gentlemen
[03:45.69]Who have found it in your hearts
[03:48.41]To flip Rudy a thin
[03:50.30]And I'll be home for Christmas
[03:53.41]And this year Rudy gets to go
[03:57.89]Yeah I'll be home for Christmas
[04:01.04]And this year Rudy gets to go
