《The Gospel Singer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gospel Singer - Tony Joe White

[00:00:00] In the town of Tifton Georgia

[00:00:04] On a hot and dusty day

[00:00:07] You could see the heat coming off the ground

[00:00:13] Up the street a man came running

[00:00:17] Stumbling on his way

[00:00:19] And he shouted that the gospel singer

[00:00:23] Is coming to our town

[00:00:28] Hallelujah the gospel singer is coming

[00:00:34] Hallelujah the gospel singer is coming

[00:00:45] He was born in Tipton Georgia

[00:00:48] With a voice as pure as gold

[00:00:52] And his hair was golden as the sun

[00:00:57] Drinking and women were his friends

[00:01:00] But the people did not know

[00:01:04] That he did not feel the songs he sung

[00:01:10] Hallelujah the gospel singer is coming

[00:01:16] Hallelujah yeah the gospel singer is coming

[00:01:27] In a tent a thick tarpaulin

[00:01:31] In a pasture near the town

[00:01:34] The people came and waited all day long

[00:01:40] There were some who could not walk

[00:01:44] And some who could not see

[00:01:46] And it was believed that

[00:01:48] He could help them with his songs

[00:01:52] But the singer he had grown tired

[00:01:56] Of the life that he had lived

[00:01:59] And to the rich and poor sick and cripple

[00:02:03] He looked at them and said

[00:02:08] I can not cure your illness

[00:02:10] And I can not make you see

[00:02:14] For I have loved your women

[00:02:17] And I sang to you for money

[00:02:25] In the town of Tipton Georgia

[00:02:28] The sun was arising

[00:02:31] But not a soul was seen out on the street

[00:02:37] But some had gathered in the pasture

[00:02:41] And were staring outside to believe

[00:02:44] At the shadow of the singer

[00:02:47] 'Neath the tall and lonesome pine tree

[00:02:55] Hallelujah hallelujah
