《The Big Battle》歌词

[00:00:00] The Big Battle -Johnny Cash

[00:00:02] I think sir the battle is over and the young soldier laid down his gun

[00:00:11] I'm tired of running for cover I'm certain the bottle is done

[00:00:19] For see over there where we fought them it's quiet for they've all gone away

[00:00:28] All left is the dead and the dying the Blue laying long side the Gray

[00:00:36] So you think the battle is over and you even lay down your gun

[00:00:49] You carelessly rise from your cover for you think the battle is done

[00:00:57] Now boy hit the dirt listen to me for I'm still the one in command

[00:01:06] Get flat on the ground here beside me and lay your ear hard to the sand

[00:01:16] Can you hear the deafening rumble can you feel the trembling ground

[00:01:24] It's not just the horses and wagons that make such a deafening sound

[00:01:33] The fight yet to come's not with cannon nor will the fight be hand to hand

[00:01:42] No one will regroup the forces no charge will a general command

[00:01:51] The battle will rage in the bosom of mother and sweetheart and wife

[00:02:00] Brother and sister and daughter will grieve for the rest of their lives

[00:02:08] Now go ahead rise from your cover be thankful that God let you live

[00:02:17] Go fight the rest of the battle for those who gave all they could give

[00:02:27] I see sir the battle's not over the battle has only begun

[00:02:35] The rest of the battle will cover this part that has blackened the sun

[00:02:44] For though there's no sound of the cannon and though there's no smoke in the sky

[00:02:52] I'm dropping the gun and the sabre and ready for battle am I
