《Canadian Railroad Trilogy》歌词

[00:00:00] Canadian Railroad Trilogy (加拿大铁路三部曲) - Gordon Lightfoot
[00:00:01] Written by:Gordon Lightfoot
[00:00:12] There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
[00:00:18] When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
[00:00:24] Long before the white man and long before the wheel
[00:00:29] When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
[00:00:40] But time has no beginnings and history has no bounds
[00:00:45] As to this verdant country they came from all around
[00:00:51] They sailed upon her waterways
[00:00:53] And they walked the forests tall
[00:00:57] Built the mines mills and the factories for the good of us all
[00:01:07] And when the young man's fancy was turnin' to the spring
[00:01:13] The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring
[00:01:19] Their minds were overflowing with the visions of their day
[00:01:24] And many a fortune lost and won and many a debt to pay
[00:01:32] For they looked in the future and what did they see
[00:01:36] They saw an iron road runnin' from the sea to the sea
[00:01:40] Bringin' the goods to a young growin' land
[00:01:44] All up through the seaports and into their hands
[00:01:49] Look away said they across this mighty land
[00:01:56] From the eastern shore to the western strand
[00:02:04] Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
[00:02:06] We gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
[00:02:10] Open 'er heart let the life blood flow
[00:02:13] Gotta get on our way cause we're movin' too slow
[00:02:17] Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
[00:02:20] We're gonna lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
[00:02:24] Open 'er heart let the life blood flow
[00:02:27] Gotta get on our way cause we're movin' too slow
[00:02:31] Get on our way cause we're movin' too slow
[00:02:42] Behind the blue rockies the sun is declinin'
[00:02:50] The stars they come stealin' at the close of the day
[00:03:00] Across the wide prairie our loved ones lie sleeping
[00:03:07] Beyond the dark oceans in a place far away
[00:03:16] We are the navvies who work upon the railway
[00:03:24] Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun
[00:03:33] Livin' on stew and drinkin' bad whiskey
[00:03:41] Bendin' our backs 'til the long days are done
[00:03:50] We are the navvies who work upon the railway
[00:03:58] Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun
[00:04:07] Layin' down track and buildin' the bridges
[00:04:15] Bendin' our backs 'til the railroad is done
[00:04:33] So over the mountains and over the plains
[00:04:37] Into the muskeg and into the rain
[00:04:41] Up the St Lawrence all the way to Gaspe
[00:04:44] Swingin' our hammers and drawin' our pay
[00:04:48] Layin' 'em in and tyin' 'em down
[00:04:51] Away to the bunkhouse and into the town
[00:04:54] A dollar a day and a place for my head
[00:04:58] A drink to the livin' a toast to the dead
[00:05:03] Oh the song of the future has been sung
[00:05:08] All the battles have been won
[00:05:11] On the mountain tops we stand
[00:05:15] All the world at our command
[00:05:18] We have opened up the soil
[00:05:22] With our teardrops and our toil
[00:05:30] For there was a time in this fair land
[00:05:32] When the railroad did not run
[00:05:36] When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
[00:05:42] Long before the white man and long before the wheel
[00:05:47] When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
[00:05:53] When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
[00:05:58] And many are the dead men too silent to be real
