《The Old Settler’s Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The Old Settler's Song - The Brothers Four (四兄弟)

[00:00:11] I've traveled all over this country

[00:00:15] Prospectin' and diggin' for gold

[00:00:19] I've tunneled hydraulic ed and cradled

[00:00:23] And I have been frequently sold

[00:00:27] And I have been frequently so o old

[00:00:31] And I have been frequently sold

[00:00:35] I've tunneled hydraulic ed and cradled

[00:00:39] And I have been frequently sold

[00:00:45] For each man who got rich by mining

[00:00:49] Perceiving that hundreds grew poor

[00:00:53] I made up my mind to try farming

[00:00:57] The only pursuit that was sure

[00:01:01] So rollin' my grub in my blanket

[00:01:05] I left all my tools on the ground

[00:01:10] I started one mornin' to shag it

[00:01:14] For the country they call puget sound

[00:01:18] For the country they call puget so o ound

[00:01:22] For the country they call puget sound

[00:01:25] I started one mornin' to shag it

[00:01:29] For the country they call puget sound

[00:01:36] Arriving flat broke in midwinter

[00:01:39] I found it enveloped with fog

[00:01:43] And covered all over with timber

[00:01:47] Thick as hair on the back of a dog

[00:01:52] As I looked at the prospects so gloomy

[00:01:56] The tears trickled over my face

[00:02:00] And I thought that my travels had brought me

[00:02:04] To the end of the jumpin' off place

[00:02:08] To the end of the jumpin' off pla a ace

[00:02:12] To the end of the jumpin' off place

[00:02:16] I thought that my travels had brought me

[00:02:20] To the end of the jumpin' off place

[00:02:26] But now as I look all around me

[00:02:30] Observing the world and its shells

[00:02:34] I think of my happy condition

[00:02:38] Surrounded by acres of clams

[00:02:42] Surrounded by acres of cla a ams

[00:02:46] Surrounded by acres of clams

[00:02:50] I think of my happy condition

[00:02:54] Surrounded by acres of clams

[00:03:00] Surrounded by acres of clams

[00:03:06] By acres of clams
