《Long Arm Of The Law》歌词

[00:00:00] Long Arm Of The Law - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·罗杰斯)

[00:00:05] In Cumberland Kentucky

[00:00:08] On a cool hot evening

[00:00:11] Billy lay in love with Marrianne

[00:00:16] She was a rich judge's daughter

[00:00:18] He was a son of a miner

[00:00:21] But that night their love was more than they could stand

[00:00:27] The judge said to his daughter

[00:00:29] That son of that coal miner

[00:00:32] Is someone you'll go hell to leave alone

[00:00:37] She knew his dad so well

[00:00:40] She knew she couldn't tell

[00:00:42] But the truth was bound in show before too long

[00:00:48] Their love had started growing on it's own

[00:00:53] You can't out run the long arm of the law

[00:00:58] No you can't out run the long arm of the law

[00:01:04] Billy placed his hand on Mary

[00:01:06] And he felt the baby's moving

[00:01:09] Kissed her and said I'll see you when I can

[00:01:14] The judge had made a promise

[00:01:17] When he caught up with Billy

[00:01:20] He'd sent him far away from Marianne

[00:01:25] The whole town knew he'd do it

[00:01:27] Too many times he'd proved it

[00:01:30] To at least a hundred men behind the wall

[00:01:35] He'd smiled behind that frown

[00:01:38] And when he brought that gavel down

[00:01:41] He called himself the long arm of the law

[00:01:46] And he'd set his mind on seeing Billy fall

[00:01:51] In a hot humid mine shack

[00:01:54] A mid white pulled the sheet back

[00:01:56] And placed cool damp towel on Marianne

[00:02:02] Billy's eyes were wide with wonder

[00:02:04] From the spell he was under

[00:02:07] When she placed the new born baby in his hands

[00:02:12] He didn't hear the siren

[00:02:15] Just a baby's crying

[00:02:17] That miracle of love was all he saw

[00:02:23] When the door came crashing down

[00:02:25] And Billy turned around

[00:02:28] He felt the heart and soul inside him fall

[00:02:33] He stood face to face

[00:02:34] With the long arm of the law

[00:02:39] You can't out run the long arm of the law

[00:02:44] No you can't out run the long arm of the law

[00:02:49] You can hide out for a while

[00:02:52] He says with a smile

[00:02:54] But you can't out run the long arm of the law

[00:03:01] Seemed like everybody down in Cumberland Kentucky

[00:03:05] Came out that day to see poor Billy's trial

[00:03:11] The court was called to order

[00:03:13] There sat the judge's daughter

[00:03:15] She looked so proud

[00:03:17] Holding Billy's child

[00:03:20] When they brought Billy to him

[00:03:23] The judge just look right thru him

[00:03:26] As he held that holy bible in his hand

[00:03:31] And he smiled at his grandson

[00:03:33] Then his eyes cut back to Billy

[00:03:36] And said I think this time

[00:03:37] The law will understand

[00:03:41] Son I sentence you to live with Marianne

[00:03:48] You can't out run the long arm of the law

[00:03:53] No you can't out run the long arm of the law

[00:03:59] He said to Billy with a smile

[00:04:01] I know you hide out for a while

[00:04:04] Ah but you can't out run the long arm of the law

[00:04:09] No you can't out run the long arm of the law
