《Robe of White》歌词

[00:00:00] Robe of White - Louvin Brothers

[00:00:01] Written by：Charles Louvin

[00:00:07] The postman knocked and waited

[00:00:10] For her sweet face to appear

[00:00:13] A face that showed her heart was full of joy

[00:00:20] In the cottage doorway smiling through her tears

[00:00:25] Each time he brought a message from her boy

[00:00:32] Her calloused hands were trembling

[00:00:35] The postman noticed too

[00:00:38] That her sweet and anxious face was white

[00:00:45] Would this be the letter

[00:00:47] That she had waited for

[00:00:51] And would it tell her that he was alright

[00:01:10] I'm sorry said the postman

[00:01:13] I must ask you to sign

[00:01:16] This little book that I have brought along

[00:01:22] You see this letter's registered

[00:01:26] He slowly bowed his head

[00:01:29] And then she knew that there was something wrong

[00:01:35] The address on the corner

[00:01:38] Of this envelope of blue

[00:01:42] Told her that her darling son was dead

[00:01:48] Where Jimmys name and number

[00:01:51] Had always been before

[00:01:54] His captain's name was written there instead

[00:02:07] Dear God they've made my darling's grave

[00:02:10] Thou' knowest of his soul

[00:02:14] She prays a humble prayer to God each night

[00:02:20] Place on his grave a blooming rose

[00:02:23] So all the world can see

[00:02:26] My soldier boy has won his robe of white
