《Evening Shade[Album ](2002 remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Evening Shade(Album 2002 remaster)) - Dolly Parton

[00:00:06] My train of thought was broken

[00:00:08] By a sudden burst of laughter

[00:00:11] Something badly needed to brighten up the chores

[00:00:18] Seemed old Mrs Bailey had accidentally fell

[00:00:25] In the water being used to scrub the floors

[00:00:31] Now Mrs Bailey was

[00:00:33] The meanest matron at the home

[00:00:36] She believed in lots of work with little play

[00:00:42] And we laughed till we bent double

[00:00:45] Though we knew we'd get in trouble

[00:00:48] But trouble's all we had at evening shade

[00:00:54] Now evening shade was where

[00:00:57] They claim to teach you understanding

[00:01:00] To teach you love and keep you off the streets

[00:01:07] And all the kids that live

[00:01:08] Here are said to be a problem

[00:01:12] Juvenile delinquents so to speak

[00:01:18] But understanding isn't learned

[00:01:21] From punishment and anger

[00:01:24] An iron has no gentle touch

[00:01:27] And love ain't learned from hate

[00:01:31] The reason we were here is

[00:01:34] 'Cause we had no one who cared

[00:01:37] But they cared even less at evening shade

[00:01:47] Little Susan Bradley one night had wet her bed

[00:01:52] Mrs Bailey took the razor strap

[00:01:55] And beat her half to death

[00:01:59] And I knew that something

[00:02:01] Must be done to put an end to this

[00:02:06] And so I started talking plans with the older kids

[00:02:14] Plans were that Joe Johnson

[00:02:15] Would steal the kerosene

[00:02:19] And I would get some matches when nobody seen

[00:02:26] Beckie Adams would make sure

[00:02:29] The kids were all outside

[00:02:32] Billy Watson would look out for the evil eye

[00:02:40] Now Mrs Bailey took a nap

[00:02:43] At three o'clock each day

[00:02:46] We knew that she'd be a'sleeping

[00:02:48] As the plans got underway

[00:02:54] Now that its all over and the sun is going down

[00:02:59] There's no evening shade

[00:03:02] 'Cause we burned it to the ground
