《The Engineer’s Dying Child》歌词

[00:00:00] The Engineer's Dying Child - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:09] A little child on a sickbed lay

[00:00:13] And death was very near

[00:00:18] He was the pride and the only child of a railroad engineer

[00:00:26] His duty had called him from those he loved

[00:00:31] And seeing that hope was dim

[00:00:35] While a tear he shed to his wife he said

[00:00:40] Just have two lanterns trimmed "

[00:00:45] Just hang a light when I pass tonight

[00:00:49] Hang it where it can be seen

[00:00:54] If the baby's dead then show the red

[00:00:58] If he's better then show the green

[00:01:06] In a little shack

[00:01:08] By the railroad track

[00:01:10] A mother with watchful eyes

[00:01:15] Saw a gleam of hope in a tender smile

[00:01:19] As the train went rushing by

[00:01:24] Just one short look

[00:01:26] Was his only chance

[00:01:28] To see the light a gleam

[00:01:33] In the midnight air their rose a prayer

[00:01:37] Thank god the light was green

[00:01:42] Just hang a light when I pass tonight

[00:01:46] Hang it where it can be seen

[00:01:50] If the baby's dead then show the red

[00:01:55] If he's better then show the green
