《Old Rivers》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Rivers - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)

[00:00:09] How old was I when I first seen Old Rivers

[00:00:13] I can't remember when he weren't around

[00:00:17] That old fellow he did a heap of work

[00:00:21] He spent his whole life walking plowed ground

[00:00:25] He had the one roomed shack not far from us

[00:00:28] Well we's about as poor as him

[00:00:33] He had one old mule he used to call Midnight

[00:00:37] I'd tread along after then

[00:00:41] He used to plow them rows just straight and deep

[00:00:45] And I'd come along behind

[00:00:49] Busting up plows with my own bare feet

[00:00:53] Old Rivers he was a friend of mine

[00:00:57] The sun had get high and

[00:01:00] That old mule he'd work Old Rivers he'd finally say whoa

[00:01:05] He'd wipe his brow and he'd laid back on them reins

[00:01:09] He'd talk about that place he's wanna go

[00:01:12] He used to say one of these days

[00:01:15] I'm gonna climb that mountain

[00:01:17] I'm gonna walk up there among them Clouds

[00:01:21] Where the cotton's high and the corns're growing

[00:01:25] And there isn't no fields to plow

[00:01:37] I got a letter today it's from the folks back home

[00:01:42] They're all doing fine the crop's a little dry

[00:01:46] Mom said down near the end you heard Old Rivers died

[00:01:54] Sitting here now on this new plowed earth

[00:01:58] Just trying find a little shade

[00:02:01] Well sun's beating down cross them fields now I can see

[00:02:06] That mule Old Rivers and me

[00:02:09] Well he used to say one of these days

[00:02:12] I'm gonna climb that mountain

[00:02:14] I'm gonna walk up there among them Clouds

[00:02:17] Where the cotton's high and the corns're growing

[00:02:21] And there isn't no fields to plow

[00:02:25] With the sun beaiting own cross them fields

[00:02:28] That mule Old Rivers and me
