《The Fate Of Dewey Lee》歌词

[00:00:00] The Fate Of Dewey Lee - The Carter Family (卡特家族)

[00:00:04] 'Twas on one Saturday evening about the hour of ten

[00:00:10] In a little mining town where trouble did begin

[00:00:15] Everybody there were drinking

[00:00:18] There were whisky everywhere

[00:00:20] Dewey Lee got to thinking he had no business there

[00:00:49] He was so tall and handsome

[00:00:51] His heart so true and brave

[00:00:54] Joe Jenkins pulled his pistol and sent him to his grave

[00:01:00] He took the life of Dewey when life had just begin

[00:01:05] And Dewey went to heaven while Joe went to the pen

[00:01:33] He took the life of Dewey

[00:01:35] Because he would not tell

[00:01:38] We know he murdered Dewey for here his pistol fell

[00:01:43] His mother sits now weeping

[00:01:46] She weeps and mourns all day

[00:01:49] She prays to meet her boy in a better world some day

[00:02:06] So hearken to my story and what I have to say

[00:02:12] Get right with your maker

[00:02:14] We'll meet him again some day

[00:02:17] But first to Stand up boy and listen to your crime

[00:02:22] They sent him down to Richmond to serve out his time

[00:02:40] Young men all take warning

[00:02:42] For this you must have guilt

[00:02:45] Don't take the life of anyone for life you cannot give

[00:02:50] You may possess great riches like many beneath the sod

[00:02:55] But money won't hire a lawyer

[00:02:58] When you stand before your God
