《Murrietta’s Head》歌词

[00:00:00] Murrietta's Head - Dave Alvin

[00:00:17] Come on saddle up boys cause the governor said

[00:00:23] He'll pay three thousand dollars for murrietta's head

[00:00:43] I hear joaquin murrietta's steals horses and gold

[00:00:48] Killed a sheriff in mariposa or so i'm told

[00:00:55] He's the devil's bloody bastard wicked and no good

[00:01:00] But all the mexican's swear that's he's robin hood

[00:01:07] Well with my wife and my sons i work as hard as i can

[00:01:11] On thirteen acres of california land

[00:01:18] But the rains never came and i got debts i can't pay

[00:01:23] Now the banks gonna steal my farm away

[00:01:30] Come on saddle up boys cause the governor said

[00:01:37] He'll pay three thousand dollars for murrietta's head

[00:01:44] He don't want him alive he wants him dead

[00:01:52] He'll pay three thousand dollars for murrietta's head

[00:02:33] I hear joaquin murrietta rides to avenge

[00:02:37] The murder of his wife by a mob of drunk men

[00:02:44] But i don't give a damn if it's a lie of if it's true

[00:02:49] Cause for his family ain't much a man won't do

[00:02:56] You see the fever came around and my youngest boy took ill

[00:03:00] And i didn't have money to pay no doctor's bills

[00:03:07] So i buried his body beneath that oak on the hill

[00:03:11] But if i had money i swear he'd be alive still

[00:03:19] Come on saddle up boys cause the governor said

[00:03:26] He'll pay three thousand dollars for murrietta's head

[00:03:33] He don't want him alive he wants him dead

[00:03:40] He'll pay three thousand dollars for murrietta's head

[00:04:34] With the bible says you reap what you sow

[00:04:39] That may be right but i really don't know

[00:04:46] Well if it is murrietta will be damned to hell

[00:04:50] And when i kill him i'll be damned as well

[00:04:57] Come on saddle up boys cause the governor said

[00:05:04] He'll pay three thousand dollars for murrietta's head

[00:05:12] He don't want him alive he wants him dead

[00:05:19] He'll pay three thousand dollars for murrietta's head
