《Ragged Old Flag(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Ragged Old Flag (破烂的旧国旗) (Album Version) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:02] I walked through a county courthouse square

[00:00:05] On a park bench an old man was sitting there

[00:00:09] I said "Your old courthouse is kinda run down "

[00:00:12] He said "Naw it'll do for our little town "

[00:00:16] I said "Your old flagpole has leaned a little bit

[00:00:19] And that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it "

[00:00:23] He said "Have a seat " and I sat down

[00:00:26] "Is this the first time you've been to our little town "

[00:00:30] I said "I think it is " He said "I don't like to brag

[00:00:35] But we're kinda proud of that Ragged Old Flag

[00:00:40] "You see we got a little hole in that flag there when

[00:00:44] Washington took it across the Delaware

[00:00:48] And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key

[00:00:53] Sat watching it writing Say Can You See

[00:00:58] And it got a bad rip in New Orleans

[00:01:02] With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seems

[00:01:06] "And it almost fell at the Alamo

[00:01:09] Beside the Texas flag but she waved on though

[00:01:16] She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville

[00:01:19] And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill

[00:01:22] There was Robert E Lee Beauregard and Bragg

[00:01:26] And the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag

[00:01:32] "On Flanders Field in World War I

[00:01:36] She got a big hole from a Bertha gun

[00:01:40] She turned blood red in World War II

[00:01:43] She hung limp and low by the time it was through

[00:01:49] She was in Korea and Vietnam

[00:01:52] She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam

[00:01:56] "She waved from our ships upon the briny foam

[00:01:59] And now they've about quit waving her back here at home

[00:02:04] In her own good land here she's been abused --

[00:02:07] She's been burned dishonored denied and refused

[00:02:12] "And the government for which she stands

[00:02:15] Is scandalized throughout the land

[00:02:18] And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin

[00:02:21] But she's in good shape for the shape she's in

[00:02:25] 'Cause she's been through the fire before

[00:02:29] And I believe she can take a whole lot more

[00:02:32] "So we raise her up every morning take her

[00:02:35] Down every night

[00:02:36] We don't let her touch the ground and we fold

[00:02:39] Her up right

[00:02:43] On second thought I do like to brag

[00:02:47] 'Cause I'm mighty proud of the Ragged Old Flag "
