《Poor Ellen Smith》歌词

[00:00:00] Poor Ellen Smith - Neko Case

[00:00:09] Poor Ellen Smith how was she found

[00:00:13] Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground

[00:00:18] Her body was mangled and all cast around

[00:00:22] And blood marks the spot where poor Ellen was found

[00:00:29] They picked up her body and carried it away

[00:00:33] Now she's a-sleepin' in some lonesome ol' grave

[00:00:38] Who had the heart and who had the brain

[00:00:41] To shoot my little darling on this cold lonesome plain

[00:00:57] They picked up their rifles and hunted us down

[00:01:00] They found us a loafin' all around town

[00:01:05] The jury may convict me and God knows they can

[00:01:09] But I know I died as an innocent man

[00:01:16] I've been in this prison for seven long years

[00:01:20] Each night I see Ellen through my bitter tears

[00:01:25] I got a letter yesterday I read it today

[00:01:29] The flowers on her grave have all faded away

[00:01:35] The warden has told me that soon I'll be free

[00:01:39] To go to her grave 'neath that old holler tree

[00:01:54] I'm free from the walls of this prison at last

[00:01:58] But I'll never be free from my sins of the past

[00:02:03] Poor Ellen Smith how was she found

[00:02:07] Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground
