《The Ballad Of Kathryn Johnston》歌词

[00:00:01] 歌名：The ballad of kathryn johnston

[00:00:02] 歌手：Shawn mullins

[00:00:02] Old Miss Johnston lived all alone

[00:00:10] On the sorry side of town

[00:00:16] Broke down cars and burglar bars

[00:00:19] On the windows and doors

[00:00:24] In case danger comes around

[00:00:30] Sittin' in her yellow kitchen

[00:00:34] Listenin' to bad news on a Radiant radio

[00:00:45] It used to be Louis Armstrong

[00:00:49] Then Martin Luther King

[00:00:54] Where did everybody go?

[00:01:01] Out the window where her garden was

[00:01:09] It's not safe to go outside

[00:01:16] Old Miss Johnston in the eye of the storm

[00:01:24] It was the safest place to hide

[00:01:46] And life's a gamble for the broken and the weak

[00:01:54] Dealin' with the bangers and the drugs

[00:02:00] The whinos weave and amble

[00:02:04] And shuffle on down the street

[00:02:09] Steerin' clear of all the thugs

[00:02:16] And now my city hangs her head in shame

[00:02:24] You can't tell the truth from all the lies

[00:02:31] Everything changed forever and everything stayed the same

[00:02:39] On the night Miss Johnston died
