《The Girl I Left Behind (with John Prine)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Girl I Left Behind (with John Prine) - The Chieftains (酋长乐队)

[00:00:15] On a morning bright and clear

[00:00:19] To my old home I drew near

[00:00:23] Just a village down in sunny Tennessee

[00:00:30] I'd been speeding on a train

[00:00:34] That would take me home again

[00:00:38] To that girl I left in sunny Tennessee

[00:00:45] As the train drew up at last

[00:00:49] Old familar scene's had passed

[00:00:53] I kissed my mother at the station door

[00:01:00] Then kind friends that gathered round

[00:01:03] Smile on every face I found

[00:01:07] Where I missed the one that I was waiting for

[00:01:15] You can hear the children singing

[00:01:18] As she said farewell to me

[00:01:22] Far across the fields of cotton

[00:01:26] My old homestead I could see

[00:01:31] As the moon rose in it's glory

[00:01:35] Then I told life's sadest story

[00:01:39] To the girl I loved in sunny Tennessee

[00:02:01] I just whispered mother dear

[00:02:05] Where is Mary she's not here

[00:02:09] The world seemed dark

[00:02:10] And sadness came to me

[00:02:16] She just pointed to the spot

[00:02:19] In that little church yard lot

[00:02:23] Where my sleeps in sunny Tennessee

[00:02:30] You can hear children singing

[00:02:34] As she said farewell to me

[00:02:38] Far across the fields of cotton

[00:02:41] My old homestead I could see

[00:02:46] As the moon rose in it's glory

[00:02:50] Then I told life's sadest story

[00:02:54] Of the girl I loved in sunny Tennessee
