《The Gulf Of Mexico》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gulf Of Mexico - Steve Earle (史提夫·厄尔)

[00:00:00] Come and gather 'round me people

[00:00:03] And a tale to you I'll tell

[00:00:07] Of my father and his father

[00:00:10] In the days before the spill

[00:00:14] With an endless sky above 'em

[00:00:17] And a restless sea below

[00:00:22] And every blessin' flowing from the Gulf of Mexico

[00:00:44] From my Granddad with the shrimp boats

[00:00:47] From the time that he was grown

[00:00:51] And he scrimped and saved and bought himself

[00:00:55] A trawler of his own

[00:00:58] He was rough and he was ready

[00:01:02] And he drank when he was home

[00:01:05] And he made his family's living on the Gulf of Mexico

[00:01:13] We were rolling

[00:01:17] We were rolling

[00:01:20] Past the deep blue water

[00:01:25] He was rolling

[00:01:45] Well my Daddy drove a crew boat

[00:01:49] Hauling workers to the rigs

[00:01:52] He was sick of mending nets

[00:01:55] And couldn't stand the smell of fish

[00:01:59] He drew a steady paycheck

[00:02:03] 20 years at Texico

[00:02:07] When he died they spread his ashes

[00:02:11] On the Gulf of Mexico

[00:02:15] We were rolling

[00:02:18] We were rolling

[00:02:22] Past the deep green water

[00:02:26] He was rolling

[00:03:15] As for me I think of nothing

[00:03:18] Any grander than the day

[00:03:22] That I stepped out on the drillin' floor

[00:03:26] To earn a roughneck's pay

[00:03:30] Then one night I swear I saw the devil

[00:03:34] Crawlin' from the hole

[00:03:37] And he spilled the guts of hell out in the Gulf of Mexico

[00:03:47] We were rolling

[00:03:51] We were rolling

[00:03:57] 'Cross the blood red water

[00:04:01] We were rolling
