2012 Don't Forget Your Hat



Well, look out the window
Never saw so much rain
You better get down to the station
If you want to catch that train
So long, I guess that's that

Hey, hey, don't forget your hat

Well, you don't call the action
You don't make the rules
You don't pay the piper
You don't even pay the fuel
So long, I guess that's that

Hey, hey, don't forget your hat

Well, it's a big old world out there
Go get it if you can
You got a ways to go
Before you get to be a man
So long, I guess that's that

Hey, hey, don't forget your hat 		Und, schau aus dem Fenster
Niemals so viel Regen gesehn
Du gehst besser zum Bahnhof
Wenn du den Zug noch kriegen willst
Tschüss, ich denke das ists

Hey, hey, vergiss deinen Hut nicht

Und, du rufst nicht nach dem Einsatz
du machst nicht die Regeln
Du musst nicht die Zeche bezahlen
du musst nicht einmal den Sprit zahlen
Tschüss, ich denke das ists

Hey, hey, vergiss deinen Hut nicht

Und, es ist eine große alte Welt da draußen
Los geh wenn du kannst
Du hast einen weiten Weg
Bevor du ein Mann wirst
Tschüss, ich denke das ists

Hey, hey, vergiss deinen Hut nicht
This Blues boogie is one of several tracks on Privateering to feature the harmonica playing of Kim Wilson of the Blues rockers The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
Knopfler: One of the most important things about the blues to me has always been the harp. Seeing Muddy Waters as a kid made a big impression on me, the harp was burbling away all the time, the band was swinging. And to me the greatest modern exponent is Kim Wilson, he's been my top man for many years, so it was really great to have him on board. We hit it off straight away and got a great session going.
