  • One of the best versions of the song

  • GOOT, EVERY TING IS PUBLISHED BY THE CUNTS HERE

  • if you put a girls hands and bound them behind her back,

    then tied them with rope and threw the rope over a beam,

    then lifted her off her feet by pulling on the rope,

    would she love it,

    as girls love to be swept off of their feet in movies???

    i must try it with my nine - year - old...

  • Great quality. Thanks!

  • really thanks for this.

  • i used to believe tom waits was atleast 70 years old.... because of this song and how he sings it

  • To my mind this more than any other seals Tom Waits as the greatest songwriter of all time.

  • I was at all those mid 70s shows at Ebbett's Field. What great memories. We were all so young then.

  • I met a woman like Martha once. those were days of roses...poetry and prose.

    I hope you remember too Martha...
