《The Sands of Mexico》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sands of Mexico - The Chieftains (酋长乐队)/Ry Cooder (莱·库德)

[00:00:10] We went down to Churubusco

[00:00:14] But the devil got there first;

[00:00:18] The road was hard the way was long

[00:00:22] Churubusco was far worse

[00:00:26] Pressed in the Union Army

[00:00:30] And ordered off to go

[00:00:35] Along the southern border

[00:00:38] To the sands of Mexico

[00:00:44] Now we come from Cork and Kerry

[00:00:48] That emerald world has past

[00:00:53] My Mary would be pleased to know

[00:00:57] I'm a praying man at last

[00:01:01] In this distressed country

[00:01:05] Little comfort do we know;

[00:01:09] My Bible is my road map

[00:01:13] On the sands of Mexico

[00:01:20] When the road is cold up yonder I'll be there

[00:01:29] The boys will harmonize a lovely Irish air

[00:01:36] Take a message to my Mary

[00:01:41] She's the one that's true I know:

[00:01:45] When you saw me I had fallen

[00:01:49] On the sands of Mexico

[00:01:55] Now the army used us harshly

[00:01:59] We were but trash to them

[00:02:03] Conscripted Irish farmers

[00:02:07] Not first class soldier men

[00:02:11] They beat us and they banged us

[00:02:15] Mistreated us you know

[00:02:19] But they couldn't make us killers

[00:02:23] On the sands of Mexico

[00:02:27] That's why we call it faith

[00:02:30] That's why we call him Lord

[00:02:34] That's why I threw away

[00:02:38] My Yankee sword

[00:02:42] Our John Riley seized the day

[00:02:46] And marched us down the road

[00:02:49] And we wouldn't slay our brothers

[00:02:54] On the sands of Mexico

[00:03:32] Faith and righteousness was all in vain

[00:03:38] Irish blood was spilled once again

[00:03:45] As I stand upon the gallows

[00:03:50] It cheers the soul to know

[00:03:53] History will absolve us

[00:03:57] On the sands of Mexico

[00:04:03] The sands of Mexico

[00:04:06] The bloody sands of Mexico

[00:04:13] La historia me absolverá

[00:04:18] On the sands of Mexico
