《High Sheriff of Hazard(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] High Sheriff Of Hazard (LP Version) - Tom Paxton

[00:00:04] Now the High Sheriff of Hazard is a hard working man

[00:00:07] To be a fine sheriff is his only plan

[00:00:10] With his hands in our pockets he takes what he can

[00:00:13] For he's the High Sheriff of Hazard

[00:00:17] He looked through my pockets

[00:00:19] And searched them with care

[00:00:20] But nary a nickel or penny was there

[00:00:24] So I got thirty days and some bumps in my hair

[00:00:27] God bless the High Sheriff of Hazard

[00:00:34] He caught me one evening and here's what he said:

[00:00:37] "You look like a Russian you look like a Red

[00:00:41] And if you are fond of your skin and your head

[00:00:44] Beware the High Sheriff of Hazard"

[00:00:47] I thanked him politely I thanked him for all

[00:00:51] And five minutes later I made a phone call

[00:00:54] To call a strike meeting at our union hall

[00:00:58] And damn the High Sheriff of Hazard

[00:01:05] Now men there are plenty who sweat out their lives

[00:01:08] To scratch out a living for children and wives

[00:01:11] They sweat for their pennies

[00:01:13] While the mine owner thrives

[00:01:15] With the blessing of the High Sheriff of Hazard

[00:01:18] And when union men strike and the troubles come on

[00:01:21] The High Sheriff's word is the mine owner's bond

[00:01:25] He's a mine owner too; you know which side he's on

[00:01:28] He's the wealthy High Sheriff of Hazard

[00:01:35] It seems to be so since this world first began

[00:01:38] That some men are willing to scheme and to plan

[00:01:42] To gouge out a fortune from the poor working man

[00:01:45] For example the High Sheriff of Hazard

[00:01:48] But the answer is simple the answer is clear

[00:01:52] Let's all get together with nothing to fear

[00:01:56] And throw the old bastard right out on his ear

[00:01:59] Farewell to the High Sheriff of Hazard
