Bummer lyrics translation: HARRY CHAPIN Bummer song texte and letras HARRY CHAPIN Bummer tab, paroles and testo HARRY CHAPIN Bummer Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
His mama was a midnight woman
His daddy was a drifter drummer
One night they put it together
Nine months later came the little black bummer
He was a laid back lump in the cradle
Chewing the paint chips that fell from the ceiling
Whenever he cried he got a fist in his face
So he learned not to show his feelings
He was a pig-tail puller in grammer school
Left back twice by the seventh grade
Sniffing glue in Junior High
And the first one in school to get laid
He was a weed-speed pusher at fifteen
He was mainlining skag a year later
He`d started pimping when they put him away
In jail he changed from a junkie to a hater
And just like the man from the precinct said:
`Put him away, you better kill him instead.
A bummer like that is better of dead
Someday they`re gonna have to put a bullet in his head.`
