《The Ballad Of The Harp Weaver(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad Of The Harp Weaver (Album Version) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)
[00:00:03] Son said my mother when I was knee high
[00:00:07] You need of clothes to cover you and not a rag have I
[00:00:13] There's nothing in the house to make a boy's britches
[00:00:17] Nor shears to cut a cloth with nor thread to
[00:00:19] Take stitches
[00:00:21] There's nothing in the house but a leaf end of rye
[00:00:25] And the harp with a with the woman's head nobody
[00:00:28] Will by and she began to cry
[00:00:34] That was in the early fall and when came the late fall
[00:00:39] Son she said the sight of you
[00:00:40] Makes your mother's blood crawl
[00:00:42] Little skinny shoulder blades stickin through
[00:00:44] Your clothes
[00:00:46] And where you get a jacket from God above knows
[00:00:52] It's lucky for me lad your daddy's in the ground
[00:00:55] And can't see the way I let his son go around
[00:00:59] And she made a queer sound
[00:01:02] That was in the late fall when the winter came
[00:01:06] I'd not a pair of bridges nor a shirt to my name
[00:01:10] I couldn't go to school or out of doors to play
[00:01:14] And all the other little boys passed our way
[00:01:19] Son said my mother come climb into my lap
[00:01:22] And I'll chave your little knees while you take a nap
[00:01:25] And oh but we were silly for half an hour or more
[00:01:28] Me with my long legs draggin' on the floor
[00:01:31] I rocked rocked rocked to a mother goose rhyme
[00:01:35] Oh but we were happy for half an hour's time
[00:01:41] But there was I a great boy and what would folks say
[00:01:46] To hear my mother singin' me to sleep
[00:01:48] All day in such a daft way
[00:01:54] Men say the winter was bad that year fuel was scarce
[00:01:57] And food was dear
[00:01:58] A wind with a wolf's head howled about our door
[00:02:01] And we burned up the chairs and sat upon the floor
[00:02:06] All that was left us was a chair we couldn't break
[00:02:09] And the harp with the woman's head
[00:02:12] Nobody would take for song or pity sake
[00:02:17] The night before Christmas I cried with the cold
[00:02:21] I cried myself to sleep like a two year old
[00:02:25] And in the deep night I felt my mother rise
[00:02:30] And stare down upon me with love in her eyes
[00:02:34] I saw my mother sitting on the one good chair
[00:02:36] A light falling on her face from I couldn't tell where
[00:02:43] Looking nineteen and not a day older
[00:02:46] And the harp with the woman's head
[00:02:48] Leaned against her shoulder
[00:02:50] Her thin fingers moving in the thin tall strings
[00:02:55] Were weave weave weaving wonderful things
[00:02:59] Many bright threads from where I couldn't see
[00:03:02] Were running through the harp strings rapidly
[00:03:04] And gold threads whistlin' through my mother's hands
[00:03:08] I saw the web grow and the pattern expand
[00:03:12] She wove a child's jacket and when it was done
[00:03:15] She laid it on the floor and wove another one
[00:03:17] She wove a red cloak so regal to see
[00:03:20] She's made it for a king's son I said and not for me
[00:03:23] But I knew it was for me
[00:03:25] She wove a pair of bridges and quicker than that
[00:03:27] She wove a pair of boots a little cocked hat
[00:03:29] She wove a pair of mittens she wove a little blouse
[00:03:32] She wove all night in the still cold house
[00:03:36] She sang as she worked and the harp strings spoke
[00:03:40] But her voice never faltered and the thread never broke
[00:03:45] But when I awoke there sat my mother
[00:03:50] With the harp against her shoulder looking
[00:03:53] Nineteen and not a day older
[00:03:56] A smile about her lips and a light about her head
[00:04:01] And her hands in the harp strings frozen dead
[00:04:07] And piled up beside her toppling to the skies
[00:04:12] Were the clothes of a king's son just my size
