《The Carpenter》歌词

[00:00:00] The Carpenter (木匠) - Guy Clark

[00:00:00] Let us now praise a carpenter

[00:00:02] And the things that he made

[00:00:05] And the way that he lived

[00:00:07] By the tools of his trade

[00:00:10] I can still hear his hammer

[00:00:13] Singing ten penny time

[00:00:16] Working by the hour till the day he died

[00:00:21] He was tough as a crowbar

[00:00:23] As a quick as a chisel

[00:00:26] Fair as a plane and true as a level

[00:00:30] He was straight as a chalkline

[00:00:33] And right as a rule

[00:00:35] Square with the world he

[00:00:37] Took good care of his tools

[00:00:48] Oh he worked his hands in wood

[00:00:50] From the crib to the coffing

[00:00:53] With a care and a love

[00:00:55] And you don't see too often

[00:00:58] He built boats out of wood

[00:01:01] Big boats working in a shipyard

[00:01:04] Mansions on the hill and a

[00:01:06] Birdhouse in the backyard

[00:01:09] He was tough as a crowbar

[00:01:11] He was quick as a chisel

[00:01:14] Fair as a plane true as a level

[00:01:18] He was straight as a chalkline

[00:01:20] And right as a rule

[00:01:23] Square with the world he

[00:01:24] Took good care of his tools

[00:01:44] He said anything that's worth

[00:01:47] Cuttin' down a tree for

[00:01:49] Is worth doin' right don't the

[00:01:51] Lord love a two by four

[00:01:55] They asked him how to do some

[00:01:57] He'd say just like Noah built the ark

[00:02:00] You got to hold your mouth right

[00:02:02] Son and never miss your mark

[00:02:05] To be tough as a crowbar

[00:02:08] To be quick as a chisel

[00:02:11] Fair as a plane true as a level

[00:02:14] He was straight as a chalkline

[00:02:17] And right as a rule

[00:02:20] Square with the world he

[00:02:21] Took good care of his tools

[00:02:23] He was tough as a crowbar

[00:02:26] Quick as a chisel

[00:02:29] Fair as a plane true as a level

[00:02:32] He was straight as a chalkline

[00:02:35] And right as a rule

[00:02:37] Square with the world

[00:02:39] He took good care of his tools
