《Cherokee Bend(1988 Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Cherokee Bend - Gordon Lightfoot
[00:00:11] His father was a man who could never understand
[00:00:14] The shame on a red man's face
[00:00:16] So they lived in the hills and they never came down
[00:00:19] But to trade in the white man's place
[00:00:22] It was early in the spring when the snow had disappeared
[00:00:24] They came down with a bag of skins
[00:00:27] In the fall of the year of 1910
[00:00:30] Daddy died by the rope down in Cherokee Bend
[00:00:34] Daddy didn't like what the white man said
[00:00:36] Bout the dirty little kid at his side
[00:00:39] Daddy didn't like what the white man did
[00:00:42] Nor the deal or the way that he lied
[00:00:45] There was blood on the floor of the government store
[00:00:47] When the men took his daddy away
[00:00:50] But the boy stayed back till he come to his end
[00:00:53] And he run like the wind from Cherokee Bend
[00:01:08] Now the mother was alone and the winter was at hand
[00:01:11] And she prayed to her spirit kin
[00:01:13] It was warm in the lodge in the Kentucky hills
[00:01:16] On the day when the boy came in
[00:01:19] Then a blizzard came down and it covered up the door
[00:01:21] Till they thought that it never would end
[00:01:24] And he told her the tale of the terrible affair
[00:01:27] In the government store down in Cherokee Bend
[00:01:31] Daddy didn't like what the white man said
[00:01:34] Bout the dirty little kid at his side
[00:01:36] Daddy didn't like what the white man did
[00:01:39] Nor the deal or the way that he lied
[00:01:42] For three long days and three long nights
[00:01:45] They wept and they mourned and then
[00:01:47] She returned to her work and her weavin
[00:01:50] And they tried to forget about Cherokee Bend
[00:02:05] Now the boy wasn't big but he hunted what he could
[00:02:08] And they lived for a time that way
[00:02:10] But the food run low and the meat went bad
[00:02:13] And she said to the boy one day
[00:02:16] I'm leaving tonight and I never will return
[00:02:18] From the land of my Spirit Kin
[00:02:21] You must take what you need and trade what you can
[00:02:24] For a Red Man's grave down in Cherokee Bend
[00:02:28] It wasn't very long till she closed her eyes
[00:02:31] And he wrapped her in a robe
[00:02:33] He found her a place on the side of the hill
[00:02:36] And he buried her in the snow
[00:02:39] Early in the spring he was seen in the town
[00:02:41] With his load looking ragged and thin
[00:02:44] Not a year had gone by till he stood once again
[00:02:47] In the government store down in Cherokee Bend
[00:03:02] He was ten years tall and a Redskin too
[00:03:04] So he hadn't much face to save
[00:03:07] And the men sat around and they laughed and they clowned
[00:03:10] At the talk of a criminal's grave
[00:03:13] Then the man from the east didn't smile when he said
[00:03:15] You're the son of that Indian scum
[00:03:18] If you value your hide then you better abide
[00:03:21] By the white man's rules here in Cherokee Bend
[00:03:25] Daddy didn't like what the white man said
[00:03:28] Bout the dirty little kid at his side
[00:03:31] Daddy didn't like what the white man did
[00:03:33] Nor the deal or the way that he lied
[00:03:36] And he spit on the floor of the government store
[00:03:38] And it served him to no good end
[00:03:41] At the close of the day they had taken him away
[00:03:44] To the white man's school down at Cherokee Bend
[00:03:59] It's been 21 years since the boy disappeared
[00:04:01] Where he run to nobody knows
[00:04:04] But they say he fell in with a man named Jim
[00:04:07] And he rides in the rodeos
[00:04:10] And they say he returns all alone to a place
[00:04:12] Hidden deep in the Kentucky glen
[00:04:15] And it's pretty well known who hauled up the stone
[00:04:18] To the grave on the hill above Cherokee Bend
[00:04:22] Daddy didn't like what the white man said
[00:04:24] Bout the dirty little kid at his side
[00:04:28] Daddy didn't like what the white man did
[00:04:30] Nor the deal or the way that he lied
[00:04:33] There was blood on the floor of the government store
[00:04:35] When the men took his daddy away
[00:04:38] It was 1910 and they never had a friend
[00:04:41] When he died by the rope down at Cherokee Bend
[00:04:45] It was 1910 and they never had a friend
[00:04:48] When he died by the rope down at Cherokee Bend
