《Poor Hellen Smith》歌词

[00:00:00] Poor Hellen Smith - Earl Scruggs

[00:00:07] Poor Ellen Smith how was she found

[00:00:11] Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground

[00:00:22] Her body was mangled and all cast around

[00:00:26] A blood marks the spot where poor Ellen was found

[00:00:37] They picked up their rifles and hunted me down

[00:00:41] And found me loafing all around town

[00:00:52] They picked up the body and carried it away

[00:00:56] And now she is sleeping in some lonesome old grave

[00:01:07] I got a letter yesterday and I read it today

[00:01:11] The flowers on her grave have all faded away

[00:01:23] Some day I'll go home and say when I go

[00:01:26] On poor Ellen's grave pretty flowers I'll sow

[00:01:38] I've been in this prison for twenty long years

[00:01:41] Each night I see Ellen through my bitter tears

[00:01:53] The warden just told me that soon I'll be free

[00:01:56] To go to her grave near that old willow tree

[00:02:08] My days in this prison are ending at last

[00:02:11] I'll never be free from the sins of my past

[00:02:23] Poor Ellen Smith how she was found

[00:02:26] Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground
