《That Was The President(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] That Was The President (LP版) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)

[00:00:16] The bullets of the false revenge

[00:00:19] Have struck us once again

[00:00:23] As the angry seas have

[00:00:25] Struck upon the sand

[00:00:29] And it seemed as though a friendless

[00:00:32] World had lost itself a friend

[00:00:36] That was the President and that was the man

[00:00:44] I still can see him smiling there

[00:00:48] And waving at the crowd

[00:00:51] As he drove through the music of the band

[00:00:57] And never even knowing no

[00:01:00] More time would be allowed

[00:01:04] Not for the President and not for the man

[00:01:12] Here's a memory to share

[00:01:15] Here's a memory to save

[00:01:19] Of the sudden early ending of command

[00:01:25] Yet a part of you and a part of

[00:01:28] Me is buried in his grave

[00:01:32] That was the President and that was the man

[00:01:40] It's not only for the leader

[00:01:43] That the sorrow hits so hard

[00:01:47] There are greater things

[00:01:48] I'll never understand

[00:01:53] How a man so filled with life

[00:01:56] Even death was caught off guard

[00:02:00] That was the President and that was the man

[00:02:09] Every thing he might have

[00:02:11] Done and all he could have been

[00:02:16] Was proven by the troubled traitors hand

[00:02:21] For what other death could

[00:02:24] Wound the hearts of so many men

[00:02:29] That was the President and that was the man

[00:02:37] Yes the glory that was Lincoln's

[00:02:40] Never died when he was slain

[00:02:45] It's been carried over time and time again

[00:02:51] And to the list of honor you may add another name

[00:02:58] That was the President and that was the man

[00:03:06] That was the President and that was the man
