《Up The River》歌词

[00:00:00] Up The River - Laura Veirs

[00:00:31] Billy was a young man gone astray

[00:00:37] Bottle at his lips some night day

[00:00:43] Mama said they're gonna

[00:00:44] Send you up the river someday

[00:00:49] Mama said they're gonna

[00:00:50] Send you up the river someday

[00:00:56] Whiskey ate big holes in Billy's head

[00:01:02] Summer's day he shot spud Murphy dead

[00:01:08] He said I'm headed up the river

[00:01:10] As he watched the blood pour red

[00:01:14] Yeah as he watched the blood pour red

[00:01:44] Mama asked Lord Jesus what to do

[00:01:50] At the door came knocking boys in blue

[00:01:55] We're gonna send him up the river

[00:01:58] And make him pay his dues ma'am

[00:02:01] We're gonna send him up the river

[00:02:03] And make him pay his dues

[00:02:08] And so she watched him

[00:02:09] Round that river bend

[00:02:12] Go billy felt a chill pass 'cross him

[00:02:17] Cold they sent him up the river

[00:02:22] To turn a young man old

[00:02:26] Yeah sent him up the river

[00:02:28] To turn a young man old
