[00:00:00] The Fool's Paradise - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)

[00:00:05] Written by：Johnny Bond

[00:00:11] As I write this letter to you darlin'

[00:00:19] I can't hold the teardrops from my eyes

[00:00:26] For at sundown I will lay a-dyin'

[00:00:34] At the door of the Fool's Paradise

[00:00:42] Rode into this cattle town this mornin'

[00:00:49] Left my burro to check the market price

[00:00:57] And I walked into the nearest barroom

[00:01:05] They call it the Fool's Paradise

[00:01:12] There the crowd was gay and girls were dancin'

[00:01:20] And the men were playin' cards and dice

[00:01:27] So I stepped up to the bar to join them

[00:01:35] What a grand place this Fool's Paradise

[00:01:43] It was then I showed to them your picture

[00:01:50] I passed it around once or twice

[00:01:58] Then a man insulted your sweet honour

[00:02:05] At the bar of the Fool's Paradise

[00:02:15] So I slapped his face and I told him I says

[00:02:19] You eat them words Mister or draw that's my advice

[00:02:25] And he said Well somebody might get hurt inside

[00:02:30] But I'll be glad to meet you in the street at sundown

[00:02:36] At sundown in front of the Fool's Paradise

[00:02:43] So goodbye my darlin' may God bless you

[00:02:51] I go to make this sacrifice

[00:02:58] And if ever you visit old Dodge City

[00:03:06] Remember the Fool's Paradise
