《Ballad of the Devil’s Backbone Tavern》歌词

[00:00:21] Old Miss Virgy tended bar at this shack out in the hills

[00:00:26] It never made her no money boys but paid of all her bills

[00:00:31] Now she must have been 80 years old but her heart was warm and her beer was cold

[00:00:36] She gave away more than she ever sold she's smiling all the time

[00:00:41] I used to sing off in the corner every Friday night

[00:00:46] To a loud crowd of cowboys bikers and bar room fights

[00:00:51] They were drinking beer carrying on not a one of them listening to one of my songs

[00:00:56] But old Miss Virgy sang along she said she knew 'em all by heart

[00:01:01] And then one night after closing she poured me a beer

[00:01:07] She said&nbsp

[00:01:07] ：'Come on over and sit down you little s**t I got something you need to hear'

[00:01:12] She said&nbsp

[00:01:12] ：'Life ain't easy getting through everybody's gonna make things tough on you'

[00:01:16] 'But I can tell you right now if you dig what you do they will never get you down'

[00:01:21] She said life's too short to worry life's too long to wait

[00:01:26] Too short not to love everybody life's too long to hate

[00:01:31] I meet a lot of men who haggle and finagle all the time

[00:01:34] Trying to save a nickel or make a dime

[00:01:37] Not me no sireee I ain't got the time

[00:02:04] Now I ain't seen Ol' Virgy in must have been about ten years

[00:02:08] I've been bumming around this country singing songs for tips and beers

[00:02:13] Now the nights are long the driving's tough

[00:02:16] Hotels stink and the pay sucks

[00:02:19] But I can't dig what I do enough

[00:02:21] So it never gets me down

[00:02:23] I say life's too short to worry life's too long to wait

[00:02:29] Too short not to love everybody life's too long to hate

[00:02:33] I meet a lot of men who haggle and finagle all the time

[00:02:36] Trying to save a nickel or make a dime

[00:02:39] Not me no sireee I ain't got the time
