《Oh， Bury Me Not (Introduction: A Cowboy’s Prayer)(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Oh, Bury Me Not (Introduction: A Cowboy's Prayer) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:08] Lord I've never lived where churches grow I loved creation better as

[00:00:16] It stood That day you finished it so long ago And looked upon your work and

[00:00:26] Called it good I know that others find you in the light That sifted down through

[00:00:34] Tinted window panes And yet I seem to feel you near tonight In this dim quiet

[00:00:43] Starlight on the plains I thank you Lord that I'm placed so well That you've made

[00:00:53] My freedom so complete That I'm no slave to whistle clock or bell Nor weak eyed

[00:01:03] Prisoner of Waller Street Just let me live my life as I've begun And give me work

[00:01:12] That's open to the sky Make me a partner of the wind and sun And I won't ask a

[00:01:21] Life that's soft or high Let me be easy on the man that's down Let me be square

[00:01:30] And generous with all I'm careless sometimes Lord when I'm in town But never

[00:01:38] Let them say I'm mean or small Make me as big and open as the plains And

[00:01:46] Honest as the horse between my knees Clean as a wind that blows behind the

[00:01:53] Rains Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze Forgive me Lord if

[00:02:01] Sometimes I forget You know about the reasons that are hid You understand the

[00:02:09] Things that gall or fret Well you knew me better than my mother did Just keep an

[00:02:18] Eye on all that's done or said And right me

[00:02:23] Sometimes when I turn aside And guide me on that long dim trail ahead That

[00:02:31] Stretched upward toward the great divide

[00:02:36] Oh bury me not on the lone prairie These words came low and mournfully From

[00:02:54] The pallid lips of a youth who lay On his dying bed at the close of day

[00:03:12] Oh bury me not and his voice failed there But we took no heed to his dying

[00:03:27] Prayer In a shallow grave just six by three We buried him there on the lone prairie
