《Mr. Jones》歌词

[00:00:01] Mr Jones (Album Version - The Mavericks

[00:00:05] I wanna go across the river

[00:00:08] To the house on oldway road

[00:00:10] Where my life began and ended all the same

[00:00:16] I remember Chris and Johnny

[00:00:18] Childhood friends of mine

[00:00:21] Who grew wise enough to

[00:00:23] Learn to play the game

[00:00:26] As I walked up to the front yard

[00:00:29] There were children playing there

[00:00:31] And I thought someday this

[00:00:33] May be my home again

[00:00:36] But how soon I learned my lesson

[00:00:39] Through the windows they threw stones

[00:00:41] And said there's nothing

[00:00:44] Left inside Mr Jones

[00:00:46] I went next door to ask the neighbor

[00:00:49] If they knew what happened here

[00:00:51] To the place where all my memories remain

[00:00:57] As they recalled and tried to answer

[00:01:00] Tears rolled down their eyes

[00:01:02] But the best reply they had was made in vain

[00:01:07] Seems the folks that used to live there

[00:01:10] Worked hard for all their means

[00:01:12] But their means could never take them to an end

[00:01:17] There was hope down in the city

[00:01:20] Then a bank declined their loan

[00:01:22] Now there's nothing left inside Mr Jones

[00:01:27] Can't you see that it's empty now

[00:01:30] And no one really cares

[00:01:33] For even I must try to save my own

[00:01:37] You should turn around and get back on that

[00:01:41] Lonely oldway road

[00:01:42] 'Cause there's nothing left inside Mr Jones

[00:02:28] Can't you see that it's empty now

[00:02:31] And no one really cares

[00:02:34] For even I must try to save my own

[00:02:38] You should turn around and get back on that

[00:02:42] Lonely oldway road

[00:02:44] 'Cause there's nothing left inside Mr Jones

[00:02:49] I'm going back across the river

[00:02:52] To see if I can find

[00:02:54] The place where life can start and end all the same

[00:02:59] But no matter where I'm going it will dwell inside my bones

[00:03:04] That there's nothing left inside Mr Jones

[00:03:09] No there's nothing left inside Mr Jones

[00:03:14] No there's nothing left inside Mr Jones
