Il testo della Minstrel boy

Who’s gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who’s gonna let it roll?
Who’s gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who’s gonna let it down easy to save his soul?

Oh, lucky’s been drivin’ a long, long time
And now he’s stuck on top of the hill
With twelve forward gears, it’s been a long hard climb
And with all of them ladies, though, he’s lonely still

Who’s gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who’s gonna let it roll?

Who’s gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who’s gonna let it down easy to save his soul?

Well, he deep in number and heavy in toil
Mighty mockingbird, he still has such a heavy load
Beneath his bound’ries, what more can i tell
With all of his trav’lin’, but i’m still on that road

Who’s gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who’s gonna let it roll?
Who’s gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who’s gonna let it down easy to save his soul?
