《Old Rivers》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Rivers - Walter Brennan

[00:00:09] How old was I when I first seen old Rivers

[00:00:13] I can't remember when he weren't around

[00:00:17] Well that old fellow did a heap of work

[00:00:21] Spent his whole life walking plowed ground

[00:00:25] He had a one-room shack not far from us

[00:00:28] And well we was about as poor as him

[00:00:33] He had one old mule he called Midnight

[00:00:37] And I'd trailed along after them

[00:00:41] He used to plow them rows straight and deep

[00:00:45] And I'd come along near behind

[00:00:49] A-bustin' up clods with my own bare feet

[00:00:53] Old Rivers was a friend of mine

[00:00:57] That sun'd get high and that mule would work

[00:01:01] Till old Rivers'd say ''Whoa ''

[00:01:06] He'd wipe his brow lean back on the reins

[00:01:09] And talk about a place he was gonna go

[00:01:13] Chorus:

[00:01:13] He'd say one of these days

[00:01:15] I'm gonna climb that mountain

[00:01:17] Walk up there amoung the clouds

[00:01:21] Where the cotton's high

[00:01:23] And the corn's a-growin'

[00:01:25] And there ain't no fields to plow

[00:01:38] I got a letter today from the folks back home and

[00:01:41] They're all fine and crops is dry

[00:01:46] Down at the end my mama said ''Son

[00:01:50] You know old Rivers died ''

[00:01:54] Just sittin' here now on this new-plowed earth

[00:01:58] Trying to find me a little shade

[00:02:02] With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see

[00:02:05] That mule old Rivers and me

[00:02:08] Chorus:

[00:02:09] Now one of these days

[00:02:12] I'm gonna climb that mountain

[00:02:14] Walk up there amoung the clouds

[00:02:18] Where the cotton's high

[00:02:19] And the corn's a-growin'

[00:02:22] And there ain't no fields to plow

[00:02:25] With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see

[00:02:31] That mule old Rivers and me
