[00:00:00] 21 (Twenty One) - Carl Perkins (卡尔·帕金斯)

[00:00:17] Now y'was just a young fellah son

[00:00:20] The night your poor mama died

[00:00:23] And you don't remember it now

[00:00:26] Why we was both right there by mama's side

[00:00:31] Ya see your ma had this sickness boy

[00:00:35] From all the hard work she'd done

[00:00:39] And she prayed all of her life

[00:00:42] That god would let her raise her baby to be

[00:00:46] Twenty one

[00:00:48] Aw me and you never moved into town boy

[00:00:52] We just kept on livin' out here

[00:00:55] And life's been pretty bad

[00:00:59] For the past twenty one years

[00:01:02] Aw I remember now when you was a little fellah

[00:01:08] And I used to take my boy to church

[00:01:12] And I seen you in the choir with them other

[00:01:14] Young'uns

[00:01:15] And it gave this heart a jerk

[00:01:19] Ah you sounded like a little bitty angel boy

[00:01:24] And to papa you sure did look sweet

[00:01:29] Even though your little ragged britches

[00:01:33] They came half way to your skinny little knees

[00:01:38] And after the service was all over

[00:01:41] Aw it always filled your papa's heart with joy

[00:01:46] The good preacher'd step down

[00:01:48] And he'd pat your little head

[00:01:50] And then he'd say

[00:01:51] Carlin

[00:01:53] You've got yourself a fine little boy

[00:01:59] Then me and you'd get in the wagon child

[00:02:02] And you'd look over towards me

[00:02:04] And you know you just smiled an'

[00:02:07] Why I'd hand you the lines

[00:02:10] And I'd let you drive for a little while

[00:02:15] Oh I guess life has been tough

[00:02:18] For me and for you too son

[00:02:23] And I know tonight that I've prayed all of my

[00:02:26] Life

[00:02:26] That

[00:02:27] I could raise my baby to be twenty one

[00:02:32] So tonight son

[00:02:35] Livin' the life down here is about over

[00:02:39] And my work's on earth about done

[00:02:43] Maybe now I'll get to go see the lord and

[00:02:47] To live with your mama

[00:02:50] Aw thank you lord

[00:02:54] 'Cause tonight

[00:02:56] My baby

[00:02:58] Is twenty one

[00:03:10] Precious sacred scenes untold
