《Where The Grass Won’t Grow》歌词

[00:00:00] Where The Grass Won't Grow - George Jones (乔治·琼斯)

[00:00:04] The dirt was clay and was color of the blood in me

[00:00:13] A twelve acre farm on a ridge in south Tennessee

[00:00:21] We left our sweat all over that land

[00:00:25] Behind a mule we watched grow old

[00:00:31] Row after row

[00:00:36] Tryin' to grow corn and cotton on ground

[00:00:40] So poor that grass won't grow

[00:00:50] There was one old store in the holler we all called town

[00:00:58] It belonged to a gentle old man named Henry Brown

[00:01:07] He gave us credit in the winter time o

[00:01:11] We could live through the cold

[00:01:16] When the winds brought snow

[00:01:21] Tryin' to grow corn and cotton on ground

[00:01:24] So poor that grass won't grow

[00:01:35] Oh the one I loved walked through those fields with me

[00:01:43] I hard workin' woman true as one could be

[00:01:51] Oh but then one year death was goin' round

[00:01:55] And swiftly took it's toll

[00:02:00] Janie had to go

[00:02:06] Now she lies asleep under ground

[00:02:09] So poor that grass won't grow

[00:02:19] As I stand here looking over this part of Tennessee

[00:02:27] The fields are bare as far as the eye can see

[00:02:35] And over the grains where Janie lies there's a

[00:02:39] Beautiful sight to behold

[00:02:44] And no one knows

[00:02:49] Why there's flowers growing on ground

[00:02:53] So poor that grass won't grow
