The Late John Garfield Blues Lyrics - Live On Tour - John Prine

Black faces pressed against the glass 

Where rain has pressed it's weight 

Wind blown scarves in top down cars 

All share one western trait 

Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks 

From winos to dime-store Jews 

Probably don't know they give me 

These late John Garfield blues 

Midnight fell on Franklin Street 

And the lamppost bulbs were broke 

For the life of me, I could not see 

But I heard a brand new joke

Two men were standing upon a bridge 

One jumped and screamed you lose 

And just left the odd man holding 

Those late John Garfield blues 

An old man sleeps with his conscience at night 

Young kids sleep with their dreams 

While the mentally ill sit perfectly still 

And live through life's in-betweens 

I'm going away to the last resort 

In a week or two, real soon 

Where the fish don't bite but once a night 

By the cold light of the moon 

Photos 

The horses scream the nightmares dream 

And the dead men all wear shoes 

'Cause everybody's dancin' 

Those late John Garfield blues
