《The Raven And The Coyote》歌词

[00:00:00] The Raven And The Coyote - Robert Earl Keen (罗伯特·伯爵基恩)

[00:00:08] I've been riding all day long through the wall of rain

[00:00:14] In the shadow of the mountains on the barren plains

[00:00:21] To my angel in the village where a lamplight glows

[00:00:28] If the dogs there don't betray me no one will know

[00:00:39] In the city of the soldier in the time of war

[00:00:46] There I met my Angelina I was 24

[00:00:53] We made arrangements soon thereafter

[00:00:56] Wedding plans were drawn just beyond the sound of laughter

[00:01:03] Cannons thundered on when I enlisted in the army Angelina cried

[00:01:18] I whispered to her "Don't you worry God is on our side"

[00:01:25] On the battlegrounds before me His plan was soon revealed

[00:01:31] He guided me to fame and glory on the battlefield

[00:01:40] Ooh ooh the raven flies ooh ooh the coyote cries

[00:01:57] Juan Miguel Ramos Montoya led his rebels well

[00:02:03] We fought them through the Emerald Valley to the Sacred Hill

[00:02:10] In the end we were defeated I was left for dead

[00:02:17] Juan Montoya took our city Angelina fled

[00:02:28] I took to hiding in the mountains through the wintertime

[00:02:35] In the spring I rode to safety across the borderline

[00:02:42] I sent word to Angelina soon I will return

[00:02:49] With the full moon in the window let your lamplight burn

[00:03:00] From the bluff above her village my hope has turned to fright

[00:03:07] Only darkness in the windows not a single light

[00:03:14] I cursed my God and shook my angry fists at Him above

[00:03:21] Twice forsaken once in war and now in love

[00:03:29] Ooh ooh the raven flies ooh ooh the coyote cries

[00:03:46] I ran in rage toward the chapel stricken by my loss

[00:03:52] I vowed to leave my lifeless body upon His holy Cross

[00:03:59] But at the altar of the chapel a lonely candle shown

[00:04:06] Across the face of Angelina kneeling all alone

[00:04:26] Ooh ooh the raven flies ooh ooh the coyote cries

[00:04:40] Ooh ooh the raven flies ooh ooh the coyote cries
