《Hard Times in New York Town》歌词

[00:00:00] Hard Times in New York Town (纽约城的艰难岁月) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)

[00:00:09] Written by：Dylan Bob

[00:00:19] Come you ladies and you gentlemen a listen to my song

[00:00:22] Sing it to you right but you might think it's wrong

[00:00:24] Just a little glimpse of a story I'll tell

[00:00:26] 'Bout an east coast city that you all know well

[00:00:29] It's hard times in the country

[00:00:31] Livin' down in New York town

[00:00:36] Old New York city is a friendly old town

[00:00:39] From Washington Heights to Harlem on down

[00:00:41] There's a mighty many people all millin' all around

[00:00:43] They'll kick you when you're up and knock you when you're down

[00:00:46] It's hard times in the country

[00:00:48] Livin' down in New York town

[00:00:54] Well the weekend is strong and the rich and the poor

[00:00:57] Get there together in roof an' no more

[00:00:59] Crowdin' up 'bove and crowdin' down below

[00:01:01] And someone disappears you never even know

[00:01:03] And it's hard times from the country

[00:01:05] Livin' down in New York town

[00:01:09] It's a mighty long ways from the Golden Gate

[00:01:11] To Rockefeller Plaza 'n' the Empire State

[00:01:13] Mister Empire sets up as high as a bird

[00:01:16] Old Mister Rockefeller never says a word

[00:01:18] It's hard times from the country

[00:01:20] Living down in New York town

[00:01:24] Well it's up in the morning' trying' to find a job of work

[00:01:26] Stand in one place till your feet begin to hurt

[00:01:28] If you got a lot o' money you can make yourself merry

[00:01:31] If you only got a nickel it's the Staten Island Ferry

[00:01:33] And it's hard times in the country

[00:01:35] Living down in New York town

[00:01:38] I'll take all the smog in Californeay

[00:01:41] 'N' every bit of dust in the Oklahoma plains

[00:01:43] 'N' the dirt in the caves of the Rocky Mountain mines

[00:01:45] It's all much cleaner than the New York kind

[00:01:47] And it's hard times in the country

[00:01:49] Living down in New York town

[00:01:52] Mister Hudson come a sailing down the stream

[00:01:55] And old Mister Minuet paid for his dream

[00:01:57] Bought your city on a one way track

[00:01:59] 'F I had my way I'd sell it right back

[00:02:01] And it's hard times in the country

[00:02:03] Living down in New York town

[00:02:07] So all you newsy people spread the news around

[00:02:09] You can listen to m' story listen to m' song

[00:02:11] You can step on my name you can try 'n' get me beat

[00:02:14] When I leave New York I'll be standing on my feet

[00:02:16] And it's hard times in the country

[00:02:18] Living down in New York town
