《Ballad Of Barbara(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad Of Barbara (Live) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:09] In a southern town where I was born

[00:00:13] That's where I got my education

[00:00:18] I worked in the fields and I walked in the woods

[00:00:22] And I wondered at creation

[00:00:27] I recall the sun in a sky of blue

[00:00:31] And the smell of green things growing

[00:00:36] And the seasons changed and I lived each day

[00:00:41] By the way the wind was blowing

[00:00:45] Then I heard of a cultured city life

[00:00:50] Breath taking lofty steeples

[00:00:54] And the day I called myself a man

[00:00:59] I left my land and my people

[00:01:03] And I rambled north and I rambled east

[00:01:08] And I tested and I tasted

[00:01:12] And a girl or two took me round and round

[00:01:17] But they always left me wasted

[00:01:21] In a world that's all concrete and steel

[00:01:26] With nothing green ever growing

[00:01:30] Where the buildings hide the rising sun

[00:01:35] And they blocked the free winds from blowing

[00:01:39] Where you sleep all day and you wake all night

[00:01:44] To a world of drink and laughter

[00:01:48] I met that girl that I was sure would be

[00:01:53] The one that I was after

[00:02:20] In a soft blue gown and formal tux

[00:02:24] Beneath that lofty steeple

[00:02:29] He said "Do you Barbara take this man

[00:02:34] Will you be one of his people "

[00:02:38] And she said "I will " and she said "I do "

[00:02:42] And the world looked mighty pretty

[00:02:47] And we lived in a fancy downtown flat

[00:02:51] 'Cause she loved the noisy city

[00:02:56] But the days grew cold beneath a yellow sky

[00:03:00] And I longed for green things growing

[00:03:05] And the thoughts of home and the people there

[00:03:10] But she'd not agreed to going

[00:03:14] Then her hazel eyes turned away from me

[00:03:19] With a look that wasn't pretty

[00:03:23] And she turned into concrete and steel

[00:03:28] And she said "I'll take the city "

[00:03:32] Now the cars go by on the interstate

[00:03:36] And my pack is on my shoulder

[00:03:41] But I'm going home where I belong

[00:03:45] Much wiser now and older
