《Poverty Hill》歌词

[00:00:00] Poverty Hill - The Brothers Four

[00:00:06] They come in their summery dresses

[00:00:09] And jackets so fine

[00:00:13] The rich folks who measure success

[00:00:15] With a big dollar sign

[00:00:20] They gaze with delight with the rocks and the scraggly pines

[00:00:26] The come in the Spring and they stay 'til the Fall

[00:00:30] On paradise Mountain away from it all

[00:00:36] Stubble and stone

[00:00:39] Make a hard row to how

[00:00:42] What little will grow

[00:00:46] The drought will kill

[00:00:50] The summer folks call it Paradise Mountain

[00:00:57] But we call it poverty hill

[00:01:04] They say we have beautiful faces as grainy as wood

[00:01:10] They'd like to live here of all places if only they could

[00:01:17] We don't get those wood

[00:01:19] Grainy faces from livin' too good

[00:01:24] It's the rocks and the dust and the sun and the heat

[00:01:27] It's too much of work and too little to eat

[00:01:33] Stubble and stone

[00:01:37] Make a hard row to how

[00:01:40] What little will grow

[00:01:44] The drought will kill

[00:01:48] The summer folks call it Paradise Mountain

[00:01:54] But we call it poverty hill

[00:02:01] They pack and say what a pity that they have to go

[00:02:05] Have to go

[00:02:08] They say that Old Smokey's so pretty all covered with snow

[00:02:12] Covered with snow

[00:02:15] But how we get through the winter they never will know

[00:02:21] No lard for the pantry

[00:02:23] No grist for the meal

[00:02:25] And winter's are cold over poverty Hill

[00:02:31] Stubble and stone

[00:02:33] Stubble and stone

[00:02:34] Make a hard row to how

[00:02:38] What little will grow

[00:02:41] The drought will kill

[00:02:45] The summer folks call it Paradise Mountain

[00:02:52] But we call it poverty hill

[00:02:59] We call it poverty hill

[00:03:03] Poverty hill
