《The Broken Down Tramp》歌词

[00:00:00] The Broken Down Tramp - The Carter Family (卡特家族)

[00:00:03] I'm a broken down tramp without money

[00:00:08] My clothes are all tattered and torn

[00:00:13] And I am so sad and so lonely

[00:00:17] I wish I had never been born

[00:00:23] All through this wide world I have wandered

[00:00:28] Inquiring for something to do

[00:00:32] But whenever I ask for a job of work

[00:00:37] They say they have none for a tramp

[00:00:51] Now drink was the cause of my downfall

[00:00:56] And the money I had I've outrun

[00:01:00] And the friends that were mine when I had it

[00:01:05] Now pass by and call me a bum

[00:01:11] Now don't be too hasty to judge me

[00:01:16] As I drift along with the tide

[00:01:20] My clothes may be ragged and dirty

[00:01:25] But a clean heart is beating inside

[00:01:38] One night on a dark lonely railroad

[00:01:43] A hobo all hungry and cold

[00:01:48] Saw an empty boxcar on the siding

[00:01:52] He climbed in and closed up the door

[00:01:58] Six months he had rode on the railway

[00:02:03] When the brakeman came 'round with his light

[00:02:07] He was shoved from the car

[00:02:09] And was killed by the train

[00:02:12] Because he was only a tramp

[00:02:26] Now young men let this be a warning

[00:02:30] For all you who long for the road

[00:02:35] Better stick to the straight life and don't be like me

[00:02:40] A poor bum to die in the cold

[00:02:46] Now don't be too hasty to judge me

[00:02:50] As I drift along with the tide

[00:02:55] My clothes may be ragged and dirty

[00:03:00] But a clean heart is beating inside
