《Ballad Of Barbara》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad Of Barbara - Johnny Cash

[00:00:05] In a southern town where I was born

[00:00:10] That's where I got my education

[00:00:15] I worked in the fields and I walked in the woods

[00:00:19] And I wondered at creation

[00:00:24] I recall the sun in a sky of blue

[00:00:29] And the smell of green things growin'

[00:00:34] And the seasons chang'd and I lived each day

[00:00:41] Just the way the wind was blowin'

[00:00:43] Then I heard of a cultured city life

[00:00:48] Breath takin' lofty steeples

[00:00:52] And the day I called myself a man

[00:00:57] I left my land and my people

[00:01:04] And I rambled north and I rambled east

[00:01:09] And I tested and I tasted

[00:01:13] And a girl or two took me round and round

[00:01:18] But they always left me wasted

[00:01:23] In a world that's all concrete and steel

[00:01:27] With nothin' green ever growin'

[00:01:31] Where the buildings hide the risin' sun

[00:01:36] And they blocked the free winds from blowin

[00:01:41] Where you sleep all day and you wake all night

[00:01:45] To a world of drink and laughter

[00:01:50] I met that girl that I was sure would be

[00:01:54] The one that I was after

[00:02:01] In a soft blue gown and formal tux

[00:02:06] Beneath that lofty steeple

[00:02:10] He said "Do you Barbara take this man

[00:02:15] Will you be one of his people "

[00:02:19] And she said "I will " and she said "I do "

[00:02:24] And the world looked mighty pretty

[00:02:29] And we lived in a fancy downtown flat

[00:02:34] 'Cause she loved the noisy city

[00:02:39] But the days grew cold beneath a yellow sky

[00:02:43] And I longed for green things growin'

[00:02:48] And the thoughts of home and the people there

[00:02:52] But she'd not agreed to goin'

[00:03:02] Then her hazel eyes turned away from me

[00:03:06] With a look that wasn't pretty

[00:03:10] And she turned into concrete and steel

[00:03:15] And she said "I'll take the city "

[00:03:22] Now the cars go by on the interstate

[00:03:26] And my pack is on my shoulder

[00:03:30] But I'm goin' home where I belong

[00:03:35] Much wiser now and older
