《State of Arkansas》歌词

[00:00:00] State of Arkansas - The Weavers
[00:00:02] Written By:The Weavers
[00:00:04] My name is Charlie Brennan from Charleston I come
[00:00:11] I've traveled this wide world over some ups and downs I've had
[00:00:18] I've traveled this wide world over some ups and downs I've saw
[00:00:25] But I never really knew what misery was till I hit old Arkansas
[00:00:35] Got off the train in Little rock in the middle of winter
[00:00:38] Nobody there to extend to me his paw
[00:00:41] Or bid me welcome to this State of Arkansas
[00:00:45] And it was cold
[00:00:47] I dodged behind the depot to dodge that blizzard wind
[00:00:53] I met a walking skeleton he said his name was Thomas Quinn
[00:01:00] Well his hair hung down in rat-tails on his lean and lantern jaw
[00:01:07] He invited me to his hotel he said it was the best in Arkansas
[00:01:17] I followed my conductor to his respective place
[00:01:22] Where pity and starvation were to be seen on every face
[00:01:29] Well his bread it was corn dodger and his meat I could not chaw
[00:01:36] But he charged me a half a dollar in the State of Arkansas
[00:01:45] And I went out and got me a job on a farm farming
[00:01:51] But I didn't care for the work or the farmer
[00:01:55] Or his wife and none of his children
[00:01:58] So I went up to him one day and I said
[00:01:59] Mister I'm gonna quit this job and you can just pay me off right now
[00:02:05] He says Okay son if that's the way you feel about it
[00:02:08] And he took me out in the barn and he handed me a mink skin
[00:02:13] I said I don't want this thing I want my money
[00:02:15] For the work I've done
[00:02:17] He said Son you may not know it but mink's skin is
[00:02:19] What we're using for currency down here now
[00:02:23] So I took it when into town hunted up a place
[00:02:29] Put my mink skin up on the counter and turned
[00:02:31] If the bartender didn't toss me a pint
[00:02:35] And he picked up my mink skin blowed the hair back on it
[00:02:39] Put it under the counter fetched me out fourteen rabbit skins and
[00:02:44] Three possum hives for change
[00:02:48] I'm going to the Indian territory and live outside the law
[00:02:55] I'll bid farewell to the kin bricks in the State of Arkansas
[00:03:02] If you ever see me back again I'll give to you my paw
[00:03:09] But it'll be though a telescope from Hell to Arkansas
