《The Big Battle》歌词

[00:00:00] The Big Battle - JOHNNY CASH

[00:00:04] I think sir the battle is over and the young soldier laid down his gun

[00:00:12] I'm tired of running for cover I'm certain the bottle is done

[00:00:21] For see over there where we fought them it's quiet for they've all gone away

[00:00:30] All left is the dead and the dying the Blue laying long side the Gray

[00:00:42] So you think the battle is over and you even lay down your gun

[00:00:50] You carelessly rise from your cover for you think the battle is done

[00:00:59] Now boy hit the dirt listen to me for I'm still the one in command

[00:01:08] Get flat on the ground here beside me and lay your ear hard to the sand

[00:01:20] Can you hear the deafening rumble can you feel the trembling ground

[00:01:29] It's not just the horses and wagons that make such a deafening sound

[00:01:37] For every shot fired had an echo and every man killed wanted life

[00:01:46] There lies your friend Jim McKenney can you take the news to his wife

[00:01:59] No son the battle's not over the battle has only begun

[00:02:07] The rest of the battle will cover the part that has blackened the sun

[00:02:16] The fight yet to come's not with cannon nor will the fight be hand to hand

[00:02:25] No one will regroup the forces no charge will a general command

[00:02:37] The battle will rage in the bosom of mother and sweetheart and wife

[00:02:46] Brother and sister and daughter will grieve for the rest of their lives

[00:02:55] Now go ahead rise from your cover be thankful that God let you live

[00:03:04] Go fight the rest of the battle for those who gave all they could give

[00:03:16] I see sir the battle's not over the battle has only begun

[00:03:25] The rest of the battle will cover this part that has blackened the sun

[00:03:33] For though there's no sound of the cannon and though there's no smoke in the sky

[00:03:42] I'm dropping the gun and the sabre and ready for battle am I
