《The Ballad of Barbara》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad of Barbara - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:02] Written by：Johnny Cash

[00:00:20] In a southern town

[00:00:22] Where I was born

[00:00:24] That's where I got

[00:00:27] My education

[00:00:29] I worked in the fields

[00:00:32] And I walked in the woods

[00:00:34] And I wondered at creation

[00:00:39] I recall the sun

[00:00:41] In a sky of blue

[00:00:44] And the smell of green things growin'

[00:00:49] And the seasons chang'd

[00:00:51] And I lived each day

[00:00:53] Just the way the wind was blowin'

[00:00:58] And I heard of a cultured city life

[00:01:03] Breath takin' lofty steeples

[00:01:08] And the day I called myself a man

[00:01:13] I left my land and my people

[00:01:18] And I rambled north

[00:01:20] And I rambled east

[00:01:22] And I tested and I tasted

[00:01:27] And a girl or two took me round and round

[00:01:32] And always left me wasted

[00:01:37] In a world that's all

[00:01:39] Concrete and steel

[00:01:41] With nothin' green ever growin'

[00:01:46] Where the buildings hide

[00:01:49] The risin' sun

[00:01:51] And blocked the free winds blowin

[00:01:56] Where you sleep by day

[00:01:58] And you wake by night

[00:02:01] To a world of drink

[00:02:04] And laughter

[00:02:06] I met a girl

[00:02:08] That I was sure would be

[00:02:11] The one that I was after

[00:02:15] In a soft blue gown

[00:02:18] And a formal tux

[00:02:20] Beneath that lofty steeple

[00:02:25] He said do you Barbara take this man

[00:02:30] And will you be one of his people

[00:02:35] Then she said I do

[00:02:37] And she said I will

[00:02:40] And the world looked mighty pretty

[00:02:44] And we lived in a fancy downtown flat

[00:02:49] 'Cause she loved the noisy city

[00:02:54] But the days grew cold

[00:02:56] Beneath a yellow sky

[00:02:59] And I longed for green things growin'

[00:03:04] And the thoughts of home

[00:03:06] And the people there

[00:03:09] But she'd not agreed to goin'

[00:03:13] Then her hazel eyes

[00:03:16] Turned away from me

[00:03:18] With a look that wasn't pretty

[00:03:23] And she turned into

[00:03:26] Concrete and steel

[00:03:28] And she said I'll take

[00:03:31] The city

[00:03:33] And the cars go by

[00:03:35] On the interstate

[00:03:37] And my pack is on my shoulder

[00:03:42] And I'm goin' home where I belong

[00:03:47] Much wiser now

[00:03:51] And older
