《Corey’s Coming》歌词

[00:00:25] Old john joseph was a man with two first names

[00:00:29] They left him in the railroad yard when they took away the trains

[00:00:35] Only one run a week comes on roaring down that line

[00:00:40] So all he's got to worry 'bout is time

[00:00:46] I come by in the evening to hear 'bout where he's been

[00:00:50] He says come on sit down kid where shall i begin

[00:00:53] He starts telling me the stories of the glories of his past

[00:00:58] But he always saves the story of his corey for the last

[00:01:04] And he says my corey's coming

[00:01:07] No more sad stories coming

[00:01:11] My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl

[00:01:17] And like i told you when she holds you

[00:01:21] She enfolds you in her world

[00:01:39] I was quite surprised to find out all the places that he knew

[00:01:50] And so i asked the townfolk if his stories were true

[00:02:03] They said old john was born here he's lived here all his life

[00:02:21] He's never had a woman let alone a wife

[00:02:44] And very soon you'll find out as you check around

[00:03:13] That no one named corey's ever lived in this town

[00:03:27] So i chided the old man 'bout the truth that i had heard

[00:03:33] He smiled and said reality is only just a word

[00:03:58] I came by one evening but he did not hear my shout

[00:04:08] I looked in the window and saw the fire was out

[00:04:13] When he would not wake up i forced in the door

[00:04:18] And found that old john joseph would tell stories no more

[00:04:25] The scene at the graveyard three of us were there

[00:04:30] Me and the gravedigger heard the parson's prayer

[00:04:36] He said we need not grieve for this man

[00:04:41] For we know that god cares

[00:04:55] They put the cold dirt over him and left me on my own

[00:05:00] And when at last i looked up i saw i was not alone

[00:05:18] So i said if you're a relative he had a peaceful end

[00:06:00] She said my name is corey you can say i'm
