《Owensboro(Remastered Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Well I lived in a town

[00:00:05] Way down south

[00:00:09] By the name of owensboro

[00:00:17] And I worked in a mill

[00:00:21] With the rest of the "rash"

[00:00:24] As we're often called

[00:00:29] As you know

[00:00:32] Well we rise up early

[00:00:37] In the morning

[00:00:41] And we work all day real hard

[00:00:48] To buy our little meat and bread

[00:00:56] Buy sugar tea and lard

[00:01:36] Well our children grow

[00:01:39] Grow up unlearned

[00:01:44] With no time to go to school

[00:01:51] Almost before they learn to walk

[00:01:59] They learn to spin

[00:02:03] And to spoon

[00:02:38] Well the folks in town

[00:02:42] They dress so fine

[00:02:46] And spend their money free

[00:02:53] But they would hardly look

[00:02:57] At a factory hand

[00:03:01] Who dresses like you or me

[00:03:09] Would you let them wear

[00:03:12] Their watches fine

[00:03:16] Let them wear their gems

[00:03:21] And pearly strings

[00:03:24] But when that day of judgement comes

[00:03:32] They'll have to share

[00:03:36] Their pretty things

[00:03:40] But when that day

[00:03:43] Of judgement comes

[00:03:47] They'll have to share

[00:03:51] Their pretty things
