《Comin’ After Jenny》歌词

[00:00:00] Comin' After Jenny - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)

[00:00:08] He'll be coming down the road at the break of day

[00:00:13] His head thrown back and his guns tied low.

[00:00:17] He's coming after Jenny wants to take her away

[00:00:21] But I ain't gonna let her go.

[00:00:26] Oh, he boasted in town, but she loved him.

[00:00:30] He said she'd be his with the sun.

[00:00:34] He said anyone try to stop him

[00:00:38] Would be just one more notch on his gun.

[00:00:43] They say he's headstrong and handsome.

[00:00:47] His hair's blowing wild and free.

[00:00:51] And they got a hold...

[00:00:53] I ain't coming cuz he's a lot younger than me.

[00:01:00] He'll be coming down the road at the break of day.

[00:01:04] His head thrown back and his guns tied low.

[00:01:08] He's coming after Jenny wants to take her away

[00:01:12] But I ain't gonna let her go.

[00:01:17] He hasn't had much education.

[00:01:21] And he ain't worked a day in his life.

[00:01:25] He's living with some older woman.

[00:01:29] They say she's another man's wife.

[00:01:34] But she wants him and needs him, and loves him.

[00:01:38] She buys him his clothes and his meals.

[00:01:42] When she finds he's gone, she'll be praying

[00:01:46] And, Lord, I know just how she feels.

[00:01:51] But he'll be coming down the road at the break of day.

[00:01:55] His head thrown back and his guns tied low.

[00:01:59] He's coming after Jenny wants to take her away

[00:02:03] But I ain't gonna let her go.

[00:02:08] The sun's at his back as he's coming

[00:02:12] The smile is cruel on his lip.

[00:02:16] His right hand is slowly descending

[00:02:20] To the sixgun that rests on his hip.

[00:02:25] Then his lower lip started to tremble

[00:02:29] And he started crying as he looked up at me.

[00:02:33] As I picked him up,

[00:02:34] I said, "Son, you're only four years old,

[00:02:37] And you know Jenny is only three.

[00:02:42] So, come on inside the house,

[00:02:44] And have some cookies and milk.

[00:02:46] And he did and the tears turned to smiles.

[00:02:50] And I called up his mama.

[00:02:52] And I drove him home,

[00:02:55] And Jenny's safe... at least for a little while.
