《Cairo， Illinois》歌词

[00:00:00] Cairo Illinois - Pokey LaFarge

[00:00:08] If it's not where you're from

[00:00:13] But what you had where you happened to come from

[00:00:18] More or less I'd say that I had none

[00:00:22] Eatin' and drinkin' would be all that I do

[00:00:29] And if it's not what you do

[00:00:33] But what you got then I got less

[00:00:38] And out of loving or playing I like loving the best

[00:00:42] Now baby take me with you when you go

[00:00:50] Take me to the bridge where the rivers collide

[00:00:54] Down in Cairo Illinois on a Saturday night

[00:00:58] I might jump in

[00:01:04] Everyone wants to hear a song

[00:01:08] That helps the day seem half as long

[00:01:12] But I'm trying

[00:01:15] I want you to see that I'm trying babe

[00:01:21] If you've lost your ticket to paradise

[00:01:26] Or you spent your money for the bus

[00:01:30] It's cold coffee in the morning slow trumpet at dusk

[00:01:34] Now baby catch that old midnight train

[00:01:42] Take me to the bridge where the rivers collide

[00:01:46] Down in Cairo Illinois on a Saturday night

[00:01:50] I might jump in

[00:01:56] Everyone wants to hear a song

[00:02:00] That helps the day seem half as long

[00:02:04] But I'm trying

[00:02:07] I want you to hear that I'm trying babe

[00:02:33] Down by the levee

[00:02:36] Where you swear God's got you shamed

[00:02:41] Just cast your doubts and the mistakes that you've made

[00:02:46] Into that old wishing well well well well well

[00:02:52] Don't the river look lonesome at twilight

[00:02:57] Well there ain't no looking back

[00:03:01] It's just a broken fiddle and an old tote sack

[00:03:06] In the morning you'll be going south

[00:03:14] Take me to the bridge where the rivers collide

[00:03:17] Down in Cairo Illinois on a Saturday night

[00:03:22] I might jump in

[00:03:28] Everyone wants to hear a song

[00:03:32] That helps the day seem half as long

[00:03:36] But I'm trying

[00:03:39] I want you to feel like I'm trying babe oh yes

[00:03:44] I want you to know that I'm trying
