《North Country Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] North Country Blues (北方乡村布鲁斯) - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)
[00:00:06] Come gather 'round friends
[00:00:08] And I'll tell you a tale
[00:00:12] Of when the red iron ore pits ran plenty
[00:00:20] But the cardboard filled windows
[00:00:23] And old men on the benches
[00:00:27] Tell you now that the whole town is empty
[00:00:35] In the north end of town
[00:00:37] My own children are grown
[00:00:42] But I was raised up on the other
[00:00:49] In the wee hours of youth
[00:00:52] My mother took sick
[00:00:56] And I was brought up by my brother
[00:01:04] The iron ore poured
[00:01:06] As the years passed the door
[00:01:11] The drag lines an' the shovels was a-humming
[00:01:18] Till one day my brother
[00:01:21] Failed to come home
[00:01:25] The same as my father before him
[00:01:32] Well a long winter's wait
[00:01:35] From the window I watched
[00:01:39] My friends they couldn't have been kinder
[00:01:47] And my schooling was cut
[00:01:50] As I quit in the spring
[00:01:54] To marry John Thomas a miner
[00:02:02] Oh the years passed again
[00:02:04] And the givin' was good
[00:02:08] With the lunch buckets filled every season
[00:02:15] What with three babies born
[00:02:19] The work was cut down
[00:02:23] To a half a day's shift with no reason
[00:02:30] Then the shaft was soon shut
[00:02:33] And my work it was cut
[00:02:37] And the firing air it felt frozen
[00:02:45] Till a man come to speak
[00:02:47] And he said in one week
[00:02:51] That number eleven was closin'
[00:02:59] They complained in the East
[00:03:02] That they are paying too high
[00:03:05] They say that your ore ain't worth digging
[00:03:13] That it's much cheaper down
[00:03:16] In South American town
[00:03:20] Where the miners work almost for nothing
[00:03:28] So the mining gates locked
[00:03:30] And the red iron rotted
[00:03:34] And the room smelled heavy from drinking
[00:03:41] Where the sad silent song
[00:03:45] Made the hour twice as long
[00:03:49] As I waited for the sun to go sinking
[00:03:56] I lived by the window
[00:03:59] As he talked to himself
[00:04:03] This silence of tongues it was building
[00:04:11] Then one morning's wake
[00:04:14] The bed it was bare
[00:04:17] And I's left alone with three children
[00:04:26] The summer is gone
[00:04:28] The ground's turning cold
[00:04:32] The stars one by one they're a-foldin'
[00:04:39] My children will go
[00:04:42] As soon as they grow
[00:04:47] Oh there ain't nothing here now to hold them
