《Mississippi Sand》歌词

[00:00:00] Mississippi Sand - Johnny Cash

[00:00:10] I was born down in the bottoms of the flat black Delta land

[00:00:16] I grew up picking cotton in the Mississippi sand

[00:00:20] My mama said son take that girl and go make her your wife

[00:00:25] Or you'll be stuck here in this mud all of your life

[00:00:30] Will the water roll it all way this secret that I hold

[00:00:37] Will the water roll it all away will it cleanse my aching soul

[00:00:44] But a man's gotta make it sometime a man's gotta take a stand

[00:00:48] Or he'll get left in the Mississippi sand

[00:00:53] A stranger came to town with two torn shoes upon his feet

[00:00:59] Singing songs of sadness picking girls off of the street

[00:01:04] He made a little bit of music was a leader of a band

[00:01:08] And they call him the muddy Mississippi band

[00:01:13] My girl was Ruby Colter and she was on her teens

[00:01:18] I took her out to churches to socials schools and things

[00:01:23] She was a rose just right for picking and he nipped her in the bud

[00:01:28] And he left her here in the Mississippi mud

[00:01:32] Will the water roll it all way this secret that I hold

[00:01:40] Will the water roll it all away will it cleanse my aching soul

[00:01:46] But a man's gotta make it sometime a man's gotta take a stand

[00:01:51] Or he'll get left in the Mississippi sand

[00:02:06] Then me and old Carl we caught him right down by the store

[00:02:11] We choked him just a little bit and held him to the floor

[00:02:15] We relived him of his pocketbook his blood and other things

[00:02:21] Now the Mississippi man's no longer mean

[00:02:25] Will the water roll it all way this secret that I hold

[00:02:33] Will the water roll it all away will it cleanse my aching soul

[00:02:39] But a man's gotta make it sometime a man's gotta take a stand

[00:02:44] Or he'll get left in the Mississippi sand
