《Lou Marsh(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Lou Marsh (LP版) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)

[00:00:18] On the streets of New York city

[00:00:21] When the hour was getting late

[00:00:25] There were young men armed with knives and guns

[00:00:28] Young men armed with hate

[00:00:31] And Lou Marsh stepped

[00:00:33] Between them and died there in his tracks

[00:00:38] For one man is no army

[00:00:42] When the city turns its back

[00:00:45] Now the streets are empty

[00:00:49] Now the streets are dark

[00:00:52] So keep an eye on shadows

[00:00:55] And never pass the park

[00:00:58] For the city is a jungle

[00:01:02] When the law is out of sight

[00:01:05] And death lurks in El Barrio

[00:01:08] With the orphans of the night

[00:01:15] He left behind a chamber of a church

[00:01:19] He served so long

[00:01:21] For he learned the prayers of distant

[00:01:24] Men will never right the wrongs

[00:01:28] His church became an alley

[00:01:31] And his pulpit was the street

[00:01:35] He made his congregation

[00:01:38] From the boys he used to meet

[00:01:41] Now the streets are empty

[00:01:45] Now the streets are dark

[00:01:48] So keep an eye on shadows

[00:01:51] And never pass the park

[00:01:54] For the city is a jungle

[00:01:58] When the law is out of sight

[00:02:01] And death lurks in El Barrio

[00:02:05] With the orphans of the night

[00:02:11] There were two gangs approaching

[00:02:15] In spanish Harlem town

[00:02:18] The smell of blood was in the air

[00:02:21] The challenge was laid down

[00:02:25] He felt their blinding hatred

[00:02:28] And he tried to save their lives

[00:02:31] And the answer

[00:02:32] That they gave him was their fists

[00:02:36] And feet and knives

[00:02:38] Now the streets are empty

[00:02:42] Now the streets are dark

[00:02:45] So keep an eye on shadows

[00:02:48] And never pass the park

[00:02:51] For the city is a jungle

[00:02:55] When the law is out of sight

[00:02:58] And death lurks in El Barrio

[00:03:01] With the orphans of the night

[00:03:07] Will Lou Marsh lie forgotten

[00:03:10] In his cold and silent grave

[00:03:13] Will his memory still linger on

[00:03:16] In those he tried to save

[00:03:20] All of us who knew him will now and then recall

[00:03:26] And shed a tear on poverty

[00:03:30] Tombstone of us all

[00:03:33] Now the streets are empty

[00:03:37] Now the streets are dark

[00:03:40] So keep an eye on shadows

[00:03:43] And never pass the park

[00:03:46] For the city is a jungle

[00:03:49] When the law is out of sight

[00:03:53] And death lurks in El Barrio

[00:03:56] With the orphans of the night
