《Blackjack Oak》歌词

[00:00:00] Blackjack Oak - Carolyn Hester (卡罗琳·赫斯特)/Marilyn Child

[00:00:03] Love came by from the riversmoke

[00:00:08] When the leaves were fresh on the tree

[00:00:12] But I cut my heart on the blackjack oak

[00:00:18] Before they fell on me

[00:00:25] The leaves are green in the early spring

[00:00:32] They are brown as linsey now

[00:00:36] I did not ask for a wedding-ring

[00:00:41] From the wind in the bending bough

[00:00:49] Fall lightly lightly leaves of the wild

[00:00:55] Fall lightly on my care

[00:01:01] I am not the first to go with child

[00:01:06] Because of the blowing air

[00:01:14] The good girls sleep in their modesty

[00:01:19] The bad girls sleep in their shame

[00:01:23] But I must sleep in the blackjack oak

[00:01:28] Till my child can have a name

[00:01:35] Cold and cold and cold again

[00:01:43] Cold in the blackjack limb

[00:01:49] The winds of the sky for his sponsor-men

[00:01:56] And a bird to christen him

[00:02:02] He's going to act like a hound let loose

[00:02:09] When he comes from that blackjack tree

[00:02:14] And he's going to walk in proud shoes

[00:02:22] All over tennessee

[00:02:29] All over tennessee
