《Why There’s a Tear in My Eye》歌词

[00:00:00] Why There's a Tear in My Eye - The Carter Family (卡特家族)

[00:00:07] I once loved a beautiful maiden

[00:00:11] As fair as the blue skies above

[00:00:16] And each night as we wandered together

[00:00:21] The moon seemed to smile on our love

[00:00:25] We vowed to be true to each other

[00:00:30] That nothing could cause us to part

[00:00:34] But we never once dreamed that the future

[00:00:39] Held only a broken heart

[00:00:43] Then there came the night when we parted

[00:00:48] We quarreled as all sweethearts do

[00:00:52] And I learned what it was to be jealous

[00:00:57] When they told me her love was untrue

[00:01:01] She told me she had always been faithful

[00:01:06] She swore that her love could not die

[00:01:10] And then when I did not believe her

[00:01:15] She kissed me and told me goodbye

[00:01:20] Oh-de-lay-ee-oh de-lay-ee yo-de-lay-ee

[00:01:35] I found I had falsely accused her

[00:01:40] And went back to make her my bride

[00:01:45] And there in the door stood her mother

[00:01:49] She told me my sweetheart had died

[00:01:54] I went in and knelt down beside her

[00:01:58] And there in the hush of that room

[00:02:03] I prayed that my maker would take me

[00:02:07] And send my soul down to its doom

[00:02:12] So now I have told you the reason

[00:02:17] There's always a tear in my eye

[00:02:21] Through long weary years I've repented

[00:02:26] But I'm longing to lay down and die

[00:02:30] And I wonder if I'll be forgiven

[00:02:35] When I face the master someday

[00:02:40] And I wonder if I'll see my sweetheart

[00:02:44] On that beautiful shore far away

[00:02:49] Oh-de-lay-ee-oh de-lay-ee yo-de-lay-ee
