《Death of Floyd Collins》歌词

[00:00:00] Death of Floyd Collins - John Prine/Mac Wiseman

[00:00:24] Oh come all ye young people and listen while I tell

[00:00:29] The fate of floyd collins the lad we all knew well

[00:00:35] His face was fair and handsome

[00:00:37] His heart was true and brave

[00:00:40] His body now lies sleeping in a lonely sandstone cave

[00:01:14] Oh mother don't you worry dear father don't be sad

[00:01:19] I'll tell you all my stroy in an awful dream I had

[00:01:25] I dreamed I was a prisoner my life I could not save

[00:01:31] I cried "oh must I perish within this silent cave

[00:02:00] The rescue party labored

[00:02:02] They worked both night and day

[00:02:05] To move the mighty barrier

[00:02:08] That stood within their way

[00:02:11] To rescue floyd collins it was their battle cry

[00:02:16] "We'll never no we'll never let floyd collins die "

[00:02:25] But on that fateful morning the sun rose in the sky

[00:02:30] The workers still were busy

[00:02:33] "We'll save him by and by "

[00:02:36] But oh how sad the ending his life could not be saved

[00:02:41] His body was then sleeping in the lonely sandstone cave

[00:02:50] Young people all take warning from floyd collin's fate

[00:02:56] And get right with your maker

[00:02:58] Before it is too late

[00:03:01] It may not be a sand cave in

[00:03:04] Which we find our tomb

[00:03:07] But on that day of judgment

[00:03:10] We too must meet our doom
