《Ballad Of Birmingham》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad Of Birmingham - Tango Sierra

[00:00:11] Mother dear may I go downtown instead of out to play

[00:00:21] And march the streets of Birmingham in a freedom march today

[00:00:30] No baby no you may not go

[00:00:34] For the dogs are fierce and wild

[00:00:40] And clubs and hoses

[00:00:42] Guns and jails aren't good for a little child

[00:00:50] But mother dear I won't be alone

[00:00:55] Other children will go with me

[00:01:00] And march the streets of Birmingham in a freedom march today

[00:01:10] No baby no you may not go

[00:01:14] For I fear those guns will fire

[00:01:20] But you may go to church instead and sing in the children's choir

[00:01:31] She has combed and brushed her night-dark hair

[00:01:34] And bathed rose petal sweet

[00:01:41] And drawn white gloves on her small brown hands

[00:01:44] And white shoes on her feet

[00:02:01] The mother smiled to know her child was in that sacred place

[00:02:12] But that smile was the last smile to come upon her face

[00:02:22] For when she heard the explosion

[00:02:25] Her eyes grew wet and wild

[00:02:32] She raced through the streets of Birmingham calling for her child

[00:02:48] She clawed through bits of glass and brick

[00:02:50] Then lifted out a shoe

[00:02:55] Heres the shoe my baby wore but baby where are you

[00:03:50] Mother dear may I go downtown instead of out to play
