《The Brass Ring》歌词

[00:00:00] The Brass Ring - John Mellencamp

[00:00:21] The saddest girl in the whole wide world

[00:00:24] I met her on the Quarter

[00:00:29] With no regards for vagrancy

[00:00:32] No respect for civil order

[00:00:37] How young are you I asked her

[00:00:42] How old are you young lady

[00:00:45] I'm much older than you think

[00:00:50] 'Cause I have seven babies

[00:01:00] Where are those who keep these kids

[00:01:03] While you're out on the party

[00:01:08] I leave them where they are safe

[00:01:12] At the church of 12th and Harding

[00:01:17] The people there they know me well

[00:01:20] They ask me very few questions

[00:01:24] And if a child should pass before they wake

[00:01:28] They'll pray them into heaven

[00:01:35] No love and no lover

[00:01:39] A murder of crows did sing

[00:01:44] We soon will discover

[00:01:47] The coffin will wear our brass ring

[00:01:58] So where's the father of these kids

[00:02:01] Does he does he help you ever

[00:02:06] I have no idea where he is

[00:02:09] He don't show his face

[00:02:11] He knows better

[00:02:14] Can I help you go tonight

[00:02:18] It would be my pleasure

[00:02:22] And make sure that you arrive all right

[00:02:27] Now we could leave together

[00:02:33] She said no I don't need your company

[00:02:37] And I don't want your pity

[00:02:41] You'd be wise just to go away

[00:02:44] And leave me here where I'sitting

[00:02:49] Is there nothing I can do for you

[00:02:53] Now it's time to scatter

[00:02:56] Why do you think there's something wrong with me

[00:03:01] There's nothing really the matter

[00:03:08] No love and no lover

[00:03:11] A murder of crows did sing

[00:03:16] We soon will discover

[00:03:19] A coffin will wear our brass ring

[00:03:59] I find myself where life could go

[00:04:03] I find myself each morning

[00:04:07] All the duties of this world

[00:04:10] Fell on my shoulders without warning

[00:04:16] I make no plans nor do I care

[00:04:20] For the future called tomorrow

[00:04:24] This world I've seen here's never fair

[00:04:27] So just leave me here with my sorrows

[00:04:34] No love and no lover

[00:04:38] A murder of crows did sing

[00:04:43] We soon will discover

[00:04:46] The coffin will wear our brass ring

[00:04:51] No love and no lover

[00:04:54] A murder of crows did sing

[00:04:59] We soon will discover

[00:05:02] The coffin will wear our brass ring

[00:05:12] Wear our brass ring
