《Old Rivers》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Rivers - Walter Brennan

[00:00:09] How old was I when I first seen old Rivers

[00:00:13] I can't remember when he weren't around

[00:00:17] Well that old fellow did a heap of work

[00:00:20] Spent his whole life walking plowed ground

[00:00:25] He had a one-room shack not far from us

[00:00:28] And well we was about as poor as him

[00:00:33] He had one old mule he called Midnight

[00:00:37] And I'd trailed along after them

[00:00:40] He used to plow them rows straight and deep

[00:00:45] And I'd come along near behind

[00:00:48] A-bustin' up clods with my own bare feet

[00:00:53] Old Rivers was a friend of mine

[00:00:57] That sun'd get high and that mule would work

[00:01:01] Till old Rivers'd final say Whoa

[00:01:05] He'd wipe his brow lean back on the reins

[00:01:08] And talk about a place he was gonna go

[00:01:12] He'd say one of these days

[00:01:14] I'm gonna climb that mountain

[00:01:16] Walk up there amoung the clouds

[00:01:20] Where the cotton's high

[00:01:22] And the corn's a-growin'

[00:01:24] And there ain't no fields to plow

[00:01:36] I got a letter today from the folks back home and

[00:01:40] They're all fine and crops is dry

[00:01:45] Down at the end my mama said Son

[00:01:49] You know old Rivers died

[00:01:52] Just sittin' here now on this new-plowed earth

[00:01:56] Trying to find me a little shade

[00:02:00] With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see

[00:02:04] That mule old Rivers and me

[00:02:08] Now one of these days

[00:02:10] I'm gonna climb that mountain

[00:02:12] Walk up there amoung the clouds

[00:02:16] Where the cotton's high

[00:02:18] And the corn's a-growin'

[00:02:20] And there ain't no fields to plow

[00:02:24] With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see

[00:02:30] That mule old Rivers and me
