《Ballad Of The Harp Weaver》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad Of The Harp Weaver - Johnny Cash
[00:00:03] Son said my mother when I was knee high
[00:00:07] You need of clothes to cover you and not a rag have I
[00:00:13] There's nothing in the house to make a boy's britches
[00:00:16] Nor shears to cut a neither cloth with nor thread to take stitches
[00:00:21] There's nothing in the house but a leaf end of rye
[00:00:24] And the harp with a with the woman's head nobody will by and she began to cry
[00:00:33] That was in the early fall and when came the late fall
[00:00:38] Son she said the sight of you makes your mother's blood crawl
[00:00:42] Little skinny shoulder blades stickin' through your clothes
[00:00:45] And where you get a jacket from god above knows
[00:00:51] It's lucky for me lad your daddy's in the ground
[00:00:54] And can't see the way I let his son go around and she made a queer sound
[00:01:02] That was in the late fall when the winter came
[00:01:06] I'd not a pair of bridges nor a shirt to my name
[00:01:09] I couldn't go to school or out of doors to play
[00:01:14] And all the other little boys passed our way
[00:01:18] Son said my mother come climb into my lap
[00:01:21] And I'll chive your little knees while you take a nap
[00:01:24] And oh but we were silly for half an hour or more
[00:01:27] Me with my long legs draggin' on the floor
[00:01:30] I rocked rocked rocked to a mother goose rhyme
[00:01:34] Oh but we were happy for half an hour's time
[00:01:40] But there was I a great boy and what would folks say
[00:01:44] To hear my mother singin' me to sleep all day in such a daft way
[00:01:50] Men say the winter was bad that year fuel was scarce and food was dear
[00:01:55] A wind with a wolf's head howled about our door
[00:01:57] And we burned up the chairs and sat upon the floor
[00:02:02] All that was left us was a chair we couldn't break
[00:02:05] And the harp with the woman's head nobody would take for song or pity sake
[00:02:13] The night before Christmas I cried with the cold
[00:02:17] I cried myself to sleep like a two year old
[00:02:21] And in the deep night I felt my mother rise
[00:02:26] And stare down upon me with love in her eyes
[00:02:30] I saw my mother sitting on the one good chair
[00:02:33] A light falling on her face from I couldn't tell where
[00:02:39] Looking nineteen and not a day older
[00:02:42] And the harp with the woman's head leaned against her shoulder
[00:02:46] Her thin fingers moving in the thin tall strings
[00:02:50] Were weave weave weaving wonderful things
[00:02:55] Many bright threads from where I couldn't see
[00:02:58] Were running through the harp strings rapidly
[00:03:00] And gold threads whistlin' through my mother's hands
[00:03:04] I saw the web grow and the pattern expand
[00:03:08] She wove a child's jacket and when it was done
[00:03:10] She laid it on the floor and wove another one
[00:03:13] She wove a red cloak so regal to see
[00:03:16] She's made it for a king's son I said and not for me
[00:03:19] But I knew it was for me
[00:03:21] She wove a pair of bridges and quicker than that
[00:03:23] She wove a pair of boots a little cocked hat
[00:03:25] She wove a pair of mittens she wove a little blouse
[00:03:27] She wove all night in the still cold house
[00:03:32] She sang as she worked and the harp strings spoke
[00:03:36] But her voice never faltered and the thread never broke
[00:03:41] But when I awoke there sat my mother
[00:03:46] With the harp against her shoulder lookin' nineteen and not a day older
[00:03:52] A smile about her lips and a light about her head
[00:03:57] And her hands in the harp strings frozen dead
[00:04:03] And piled up beside her toppling to the skies
[00:04:08] Were the clothes of a king's son just my size
