Waits, Tom - Poncho's Lament Lyrics
Well the stairs sound so lonely without you
And I ain't maid my bed in a week
Coffee stains on the paper I'm writing
And I'm too choked up inside to speak
And Yes, I know our differences pulled us apart
And I'm glad that you're gone
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home
And I'm glad that you're gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I'm glad that you're gone
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home
Well my guitar still plays your favorite song
though the strings have been outta tune for some time
Every time I strum a cord, I pray out to the lord
That you'll quit your honkey-tonkin' sing my song
Got the feeling so strong
And I'm glad that you're gone
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home
So I'll throw another log onto the fire
And I'll admit I'm a lousy liar
As the coals die down and flicker
I hear that guitar picker
Play the song we used to sing so long ago
I'm glad that you're gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I'm glad that you're gone
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home
And I'm glad, damn glad you're gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I'm glad that you're gone
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home

Waits, Tom Poncho's Lament Comments
My Version. Solo only Blues Harp. This is last vese
Baby, remember waking up this side of dawn? (Harp)
To your questions my answer was always a yawn. (Harp)
I’m you’re glad you’re gone, it’s hard to admit, but I Wish You’d Come Back Home!!! (Harp to Close)
褪せない神曲
Wow, I love that one too! Tom Waits, one of my favorites!
What is the meaning of this phrase?:
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home
No me den bola, ya entendí.
He's praying that she'll come home, since they aren't together anymore and he misses her.
you can't live with that woman, but you also can't live without her.
"Wish to the lord" implies a prayer to God. He prays to God that his lover will return.
Just got this album a few weeks back and I can't stop listening ta it...and ta be honest I only heard of him a year ago...I don't know how I have went that long without knowing him...I will be buying more of his albums...and the best thing about it is I stumbled across him...makes the find even better
metallica fan i wish i was a tom waits virgin like you
Beautiful song,
Lets show respect for such things,
Thank you Tom for so much
Smoke smoke smoke on that Colombian Gold
This song makes me wish I was on Crack... So that I wouldn't be thinking about this shit instead.
Timothy Ryan fuck off crack head
You have no taste
how often is it that one hears a song that brings out the complexity of a love-gone-wrong
Mixed feelings here. I resent the Early Years albums because I know Tom never wanted that material released but I just can't help loving the majority of the songs on those albums anyway.
great song haven't heard songs from this album in a long time
Suchhh*
@mdhattem Just got it on vinyl from amazon... So an amazing experience.
His whole catalogue is artistically sophisticated but this volume of The Early Years is the most moving experience I've ever had listening to ta Tom Waits record.
And I'm glad that you're gone love it
I was singing this song and playing my guitar and my wife thought I wrote this song.
I looked at her like she was on crack, I wish I had written this song. Tom is a genius, the most under-appreciated musician/songwriter of the last 40 years.
Love it.
