《A Drunkard’s Child》歌词

[00:00:00] A Drunkard's Child - Jimmie Rodgers

[00:00:16] My father is a drunkard

[00:00:21] My mother she is dead;

[00:00:26] And I am just an orphan child

[00:00:31] No place to lay my head;

[00:00:36] All thru this world I wander

[00:00:41] They drive me from their door

[00:00:46] Some day I'll find a welcome

[00:00:51] On Heaven's golden shore

[00:00:56] Now if to me you'll listen

[00:01:01] I'll tell my story sad;

[00:01:06] How drinking rum and gambling

[00:01:10] Hell has stole away my dad;

[00:01:16] My mother is in heaven

[00:01:21] Where God and the angels smile;

[00:01:26] And now I know she's watching

[00:01:31] Her lonely orphan child

[00:01:47] We all were once so happy

[00:01:52] And had a happy home;

[00:01:57] Till dad he went to drinking rum

[00:02:02] And then he gambled some;

[00:02:07] He left my darling mother

[00:02:11] She died of a broken heart;

[00:02:16] And as I tell my story

[00:02:21] I see your tear-drops start

[00:02:26] Don't weep for me and mother

[00:02:31] Altho' I know 'tis said;

[00:02:36] But try to get someone to cheer

[00:02:41] And save my poor lonely dad;

[00:02:46] "I'm awful cold and hungry "

[00:02:51] She closed her eyes and sighed;

[00:02:56] Then those who heard her story

[00:03:00] Knew the orphan child has died
