《Alabama ’58》歌词

[00:00:00] Alabama '58 - Luke Kelly

[00:00:03] In Alabama 1958

[00:00:07] The cost of human life is very low

[00:00:11] A man that's black is trampled down

[00:00:13] Just like they were a thousand years ago

[00:00:15] But these are more enlightened days

[00:00:17] No room for all these savage ways

[00:00:19] Leave and let them go

[00:00:23] Now every man may walk his road in peace

[00:00:25] For all are free

[00:00:30] Two thousand years ago a million men

[00:00:34] Were gathered into royal Egypt's land

[00:00:38] Were bound together forced to build

[00:00:40] Pyramids of stone in desert sand

[00:00:42] But these are more enlightened days

[00:00:44] No room for all these savage ways

[00:00:46] Leave and let them go

[00:00:50] Now every man may walk his road in peace

[00:00:52] For all are free

[00:00:57] Mary's son walked through a land of woe

[00:01:01] Dreaming of the world as it could be

[00:01:04] But the good and lawful men of Rome

[00:01:06] Bound him like a robber to a tree

[00:01:09] But these are more enlightened days

[00:01:11] No room for all these savage ways

[00:01:13] Leave and let them go

[00:01:16] Now every man may walk his road in peace

[00:01:19] For all are free

[00:01:24] In Britain just a hundred years ago

[00:01:27] The jails were full of good and hungry men

[00:01:31] Diggers fenians many more

[00:01:33] Fought and died but rose to fight again

[00:01:36] But these are more enlightened days

[00:01:38] No room for all these savage ways

[00:01:39] Leave and let them go

[00:01:43] Now every man may walk his road in peace

[00:01:46] For all are free

[00:01:50] Last year a negro stole a dollar bill

[00:01:54] The judge he said

[00:01:55] We mustn't be severe

[00:01:58] Instead of death we'll give him life imprisonment

[00:02:01] To show there's justice here

[00:02:02] For these are more enlightened days

[00:02:04] No room for all these savage ways

[00:02:06] Leave and let them go

[00:02:10] Now every man may walk his road in peace

[00:02:12] For all are free

[00:02:17] And so throughout the ages you have seen

[00:02:21] How progress marches ever on its way

[00:02:24] No rack no wheel no Spanish boot

[00:02:26] For Alabama's prisoners today

[00:02:29] For these are more enlightened days

[00:02:31] No room for all these savage ways

[00:02:33] Leave and let them go

[00:02:37] Now every man may walk his road in peace

[00:02:39] For all are free

[00:02:42] In these more enlightened days

[00:02:44] No room for all these savage ways

[00:02:46] Leave and let them go

[00:02:50] Now every man may walk his road in peace

[00:02:52] For all are free
