《A Rose Of Red(Remastered 2017)》歌词

[00:00:00] A Rose Of Red - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:05] Back to the rear of battle

[00:00:09] A digger boy was gay

[00:00:12] Thoughts of home across the sea

[00:00:15] Filled his heart today

[00:00:19] No thought of danger lingered

[00:00:22] In the soldier's head

[00:00:25] As loudly did he sing of love of love and roses red

[00:00:32] I have a childhood sweetheart

[00:00:35] Who waits so patiently

[00:00:38] A rose of red is in her hair

[00:00:41] To show her love for me

[00:00:45] We'll build a home together

[00:00:49] When I return from war

[00:00:52] With roses red a homely site growin' round the door

[00:01:13] The soldier boy kept singing

[00:01:17] His heart was warm today

[00:01:19] When from the trees a vicious crack and

[00:01:23] Death was on it's way

[00:01:27] The happy boy stopped singing

[00:01:30] And nothing we could do

[00:01:33] The air was cold he lay so still

[00:01:36] The sniper's aim was true

[00:01:40] We picked him up so gently

[00:01:43] And this is what was seen

[00:01:46] A rose of red from a sniper's shot

[00:01:49] Across his shirt of green

[00:01:53] The bullet travelled onward

[00:01:56] Deadly in it's flight

[00:01:59] A girl so sad her love has gone

[00:02:02] A rose had died tonight
