Gordon Lightfoot
10 Degrees & Getting Colder
He was standin' by the highwayWith a sign that just said "mother"When he heard a driver comin''bout a half a mile awayThen he held the sign up higherWhere no decent soul could miss itIt was ten degrees or colderDown by bolder dam that dayHe was raised up in milwaukeeThough he never was that famousHe was just a road musicianTo the taverns he would goSingin' songs about the ramblin'The lovin' girls and gamblin'How the world fell on his shouldersBack in boulder I don't knowIt was out in arizonaThat he heard the lady listenin'To each word that he was sayin'To each line that he would writeSo he sat down by her table andThey talked about the weatherNinety-eight point six and risin'Down by boulder dam that dayLetras de cancionesAnd she told him she would take himFor a ride in the mornin' sunBack in boulder he had told her"I don't know when I had a better friend"Now he's traded off his martinBut his troubles are not overFor his feet are almost frozenAnd the sun is sinkin' lowWon't you listen to me brotherIf you ever loved your motherPlease pull off on the shoulderIf you're goin' milwaukee wayIt's ten degrees and getting colderDown by boulder dam today
