《In My Reply》歌词

[00:00:00] In My Reply - Livingston Taylor

[00:00:05] Matthew was a country boy

[00:00:09] Until one day he found

[00:00:13] That cheatin'folks was easier

[00:00:18] Than plowin' his daddy's ground

[00:00:22] He left his farm in Ohio

[00:00:27] Bound for Chicago town

[00:00:31] He crossed Big Jim and turned his back

[00:00:36] A bullet laid him down

[00:00:40] And as he lay there dying

[00:00:44] He begged "Will I see my Ohio "

[00:00:49] In my reply I lied a bit

[00:00:54] And said I did not know

[00:01:01] Jim McCall was meek and small

[00:01:05] And to become a man

[00:01:09] He'd have to build himself up tall

[00:01:14] With fancy folks and land

[00:01:18] He threw some stones at honest friends

[00:01:22] And got himself these things

[00:01:27] His children left him and he sneered

[00:01:31] "That's what my kindness brings"

[00:01:36] And in the South End he got lost

[00:01:40] And asked me where to go

[00:01:45] In my reply I lied a bit

[00:01:49] And said I did not know

[00:02:14] And lazy Susan called me up

[00:02:18] She'd heard I stole the show

[00:02:22] In my reply I lied a bit

[00:02:27] And said I did not know

[00:02:31] In my reply I lied a bit

[00:02:36] And said I did not know
