《Old Southern Town》歌词

[00:00:00] I'm thinking tonight of an old southern town

[00:00:06] And my loved ones that I left behind

[00:00:11] I know they are ragged and hungry too

[00:00:16] And it sure does worry my mind

[00:00:19] Poor little children so hungry and cold

[00:00:24] The big mighty bosses so big and so bold

[00:00:29] They stole all our land and they stole all our coal

[00:00:34] We get starvation and they get the gold

[00:00:40] I know how it feels to be lonesome

[00:00:44] And I know how it feels to be blue

[00:00:48] I know how it is to be hungry

[00:00:52] And I've sure been ragged too

[00:00:55] I'm thinking of brother and sister

[00:00:59] From the loved ones whom I had to part

[00:01:03] I'm thinking of their little children

[00:01:07] Who is so near to my heart

[00:01:11] I'm thinking of heartaches and starvation

[00:01:15] That the bosses has caused me and mine

[00:01:19] I'm thinking of friends and neighbors

[00:01:23] And the loved ones that I left behind

[00:01:27] Now if I had these rotten bosses

[00:01:31] Where the bosses has got me

[00:01:34] What I wouldn't do to them rascals

[00:01:38] Would be a shame to see
