《The East Colorado Dam》歌词

[00:00:00] The East Colorado Dam - Sammy Walker

[00:00:16] This shack is falling' in

[00:00:18] And your wrists are getting thin

[00:00:21] Sweetheart you don't deserve the kind of life

[00:00:24] I've put you in

[00:00:27] But it's hard to a draw a pay

[00:00:30] When my papers always say

[00:00:33] That I took a loaf of bread

[00:00:35] From the grocery store one day

[00:00:39] For my time behind bars

[00:00:43] You have to wear the scars

[00:00:45] When people down the road can drive

[00:00:48] Ten thousand dollar cars

[00:00:52] Oh it's a long long hard way

[00:00:54] To the east Colorado dam

[00:00:57] If I make it to St Louis

[00:01:00] I'll send you a telegram

[00:01:04] If I don't make it at all

[00:01:07] You'll know why I didn't call

[00:01:10] Just kiss the baby for me

[00:01:12] And come see my grave next fall

[00:01:25] The weathers getting warmer

[00:01:27] And the baby's coming soon

[00:01:30] I'll try to find some work

[00:01:32] That might carry us through to June

[00:01:37] But everywhere's the same

[00:01:39] When you're a man without a name

[00:01:42] They'll make you feel so useless

[00:01:44] And then wonder why you came

[00:01:48] If a soul searching beggar

[00:01:51] Is what I's meant to be

[00:01:54] I'd rather rot behind the walls

[00:01:56] Of your penintentiary

[00:02:00] So it's a long long hard way

[00:02:03] To the east Colorado dam

[00:02:06] If I make it to St Louis

[00:02:09] I'll send you a telegram

[00:02:13] If I don't make it at all

[00:02:15] You'll know why I didn't call

[00:02:18] Just kiss the baby for me

[00:02:21] And come see my grave next fall

[00:02:33] You say you love me now

[00:02:36] Like you always did before

[00:02:39] And I love you just as well

[00:02:41] But I just can't keep you down no more

[00:02:45] So I'll be leaving in the morning

[00:02:48] If the weathers bad or good

[00:02:50] And let you find a man who'll give you

[00:02:53] All the things I never could

[00:02:57] But I'll never understand

[00:03:00] As long as I live

[00:03:02] How we can talk of love thy neighbour

[00:03:05] But we can never forgive

[00:03:09] So it's a long long hard way

[00:03:12] To the east Colorado dam

[00:03:15] If I make it to St Louis

[00:03:17] I'll send you a telegram

[00:03:22] If I don't make it at all

[00:03:24] You'll know why I didn't call

[00:03:28] Just kiss the baby for me

[00:03:30] And come see my grave next fall
