《Soul of a Convict》歌词

[00:00:00] Soul of a Convict - Porter Wagoner
[00:00:00] Written by:Eddie Sovine/Bob Ferguson
[00:00:00] Will he take the soul of a convict
[00:00:08] Could I be one of those he choosed
[00:00:18] I was taught the bible from childhood
[00:00:21] At my mother's knee I learned to pray
[00:00:23] I was taught of God and all his goodness
[00:00:26] And the devil and his evil ways
[00:00:30] There's good in the bad and bad in the good
[00:00:33] And there's none that's free from sin
[00:00:36] But there's some questions I've wondered about
[00:00:40] What happens to the men who die in the pen
[00:00:45] Just imagine yourself the judge God almighty
[00:00:50] As you gaze over all these men
[00:00:53] When death takes it's toll
[00:00:55] What becomes of the soul of the men
[00:00:59] Who die in the pen
[00:01:02] Do you think of God that's true
[00:01:04] And just could look from his heavenly throne
[00:01:07] And be pleased to see men placed in chains and stripes
[00:01:11] And tucked from their loved ones at home
[00:01:14] Worked until they're completely exhuasted
[00:01:17] And your soul cries out in vain
[00:01:21] Fed like a hog and treated like a dog
[00:01:25] And at night to the bed you're chained
[00:01:29] Worked from sunup to sundown
[00:01:32] Through all kinds of weather
[00:01:35] And if you don't do the things just right
[00:01:38] You get introduced to the leather
[00:01:42] And you see it's not the pain I mind so much
[00:01:45] As I'm stretched out on the floor
[00:01:47] It's just the thought that I can't do my part
[00:01:50] That's what breaks my heart
[00:01:52] You see I'm just not man enough anymore
[00:01:57] Oh there are a lotta other things
[00:01:59] I could tell you
[00:02:00] That you'd marvel at and say
[00:02:03] Why I didn't know in those modern times
[00:02:06] They treated men that way but they do
[00:02:11] That's why I ask you do you think
[00:02:12] That God could turn with a sneer and frown
[00:02:15] At the men who die in the pen
[00:02:18] Do you think he'll turn us down
[00:02:22] I believe there's a heaven and a hell
[00:02:25] And in God I put my trust
[00:02:28] That's why I'm asking these questions
[00:02:30] I believe he's true and just
[00:02:34] And I just imagine he'll tell me
[00:02:36] As we meet at the golden stairs
[00:02:39] Hell's not just meant for some of the men
[00:02:42] Who die in the pen
[00:02:44] But for some who have mistreated them there
[00:02:50] You see we're paying for the mistakes
[00:02:52] We made in our sins
[00:02:54] As we've had our troubles in life
[00:02:56] Because we're the underdogs of humanity
[00:03:00] And surely God won't make us pay twice
[00:03:06] I believe on that day of judgement
[00:03:08] He'll have this convict called in
[00:03:11] And he'll say it's true hell's not for you
[00:03:16] You had your hell in the pen
