《So Long Train Whistle》歌词

[00:00:00] So Long Train Whistle - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:50] Daddy's been a railroad man

[00:00:54] Since he was twenty-one

[00:00:57] Two yers of Britty ship

[00:01:00] Beakmen on the Denver run

[00:01:04] Thirty he made fireman

[00:01:07] Thirty-five an engineer

[00:01:10] Now at sixty-five

[00:01:13] He's reached the end of his career

[00:01:19] Daddy said he's glad it's over

[00:01:23] But he ain't foolin' me

[00:01:26] Last night I overheard him singing

[00:01:29] This sad old melody

[00:01:32] So long train whistle

[00:01:37] So long hmm-hmm

[00:01:46] This near generation

[00:01:48] Has no need for you or I

[00:01:53] We both served the nation

[00:01:55] Long before it learned to fly

[00:01:59] Nothing last forever

[00:02:03] Now it's our turn to die

[00:02:06] Lord hear that whistle cry

[00:02:13] Daddy's not the only one

[00:02:16] The railroad lines are fired

[00:02:19] And New York Central Limited

[00:02:23] Long since been retired

[00:02:26] The Chief is gone from Santa Fe

[00:02:30] The SP Lark as well

[00:02:33] I'm soon to rest to leave the rails

[00:02:36] Lord only time you tell

[00:02:41] I know that you can't stop progress

[00:02:45] New things happen every day

[00:02:49] We gonna mourn that lonely whistle

[00:02:52] If it finally fades away

[00:02:55] So long train whistle

[00:02:59] So long hmm-hmm

[00:03:09] This near generation

[00:03:11] Has no need for you or I

[00:03:15] We both served the nation

[00:03:17] Long before it learned to fly

[00:03:22] Nothing last forever

[00:03:25] Now it's our turn to die

[00:03:29] Lord hear that whistle cry

[00:03:36] Mhm mhm hear that whistle cry mhm mhm
