《Over the Hill to the Poor House》歌词

[00:00:10] Oh how can it be they have driven

[00:00:14] Their father so helpless and old

[00:00:17] Oh God may their crimes be forgiven

[00:00:23] To perish out here in the cold

[00:00:32] I'm old I'm helpless and feeble

[00:00:49] And the days of my youth have gone by

[00:00:53] And it's over the hill to the poor house

[00:00:58] I must wander alone there to die

[00:01:12] Long years since Mary was taken

[00:01:17] My faithful affectionate wife

[00:01:21] Since then I've been alone and forsaken

[00:01:25] The light has died out of my life

[00:01:43] I'm old I'm helpless and feeble

[00:01:51] And the days of my youth have gone by

[00:01:56] And it's over the hill to the poor house

[00:02:00] I must wander alone there to die

[00:02:24] I gave them the house they were born in

[00:02:37] A deed to the farm and more

[00:02:41] I gave them the place that they lived on

[00:02:45] And now I am turned from it's door

[00:02:50] Oh me on the doorstep up yonder

[00:02:54] I've set with my babe's on my knee

[00:02:59] No father so happy or fonder

[00:03:05] Than I of my little ones three
