《Rubin and Cherise》歌词

[00:00:00] Rubin and Cherise - Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & Friends

[00:00:02] Written by：Jerry Garcia

[00:00:48] Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down

[00:00:53] It was the afternoon of carnival as

[00:00:58] She brushes it gently down

[00:01:03] Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin

[00:01:08] It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade

[00:01:13] Played in the carnival parade

[00:01:17] Cherise was dressing as pirouette in white

[00:01:23] When a fatal vision gripped her tight cherise beware tonight

[00:01:32] Rubin rubin tell me truly true

[00:01:37] I feel afraid and I don't know why I do

[00:01:42] Is there another girl for you

[00:01:49] If you could see my heart you would know it's true

[00:01:54] There's none cherise except for you except for you

[00:02:02] I'd swear to it on my very soul

[00:02:05] If I lie say I fall down cold

[00:02:11] When rubin played on his painted mandolin

[00:02:17] The breeze would pause to listen in

[00:02:22] Before going on its way again

[00:02:26] Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke

[00:02:32] Like waves against the bandstand

[00:02:33] Dancers broke to the painted mandolin

[00:02:44] Looking out to the crowd who is standing there

[00:02:48] Sweet ruby claire at rubin stared at rubin stared

[00:02:56] She was dressed as pirouette in red

[00:02:59] And her hair hung gently down

[00:03:05] The crowd pressed round ruby stood as though alone

[00:03:11] Rubin's song took on a different tone

[00:03:16] And he played it just for her

[00:03:20] The song he played was the carnival parade

[00:03:25] Each note cut a thread of cherise's fate

[00:03:31] It cut through like a blade

[00:03:35] Rubin was playing his painted mandolin

[00:03:40] When ruby froze and turned to stone for the strings

[00:03:46] Played all alone

[00:03:50] The voice of cherise from the face of the mandolin

[00:03:55] Singing rubin rubin tell me true for

[00:04:00] I have no one but you

[00:04:07] If you could see my heart you would know it true

[00:04:12] There's none cherise except for you

[00:04:16] Except for you

[00:04:20] I'd swear to it on my very soul if I lie

[00:04:23] Say I fall down cold

[00:04:29] The truth of love an unsung song must tell

[00:04:35] The course of love must follow blind

[00:04:39] Without a look behind

[00:04:44] Rubin walked the streets of new orleans till dawn

[00:04:49] Cherise so lightly in his arms

[00:04:53] And her hair hung gently down
