《Long Time Gone》歌词

[00:00:00] Long Time Gone - Odetta

[00:00:06] My parents raised me tenderly

[00:00:08] I was their only one

[00:00:13] My mind got mixed with ramblin'

[00:00:16] When I was all so young

[00:00:20] And I left my home the first time

[00:00:23] When I was twelve and one

[00:00:27] I'm a long time a-comin' Maw

[00:00:30] An' I'll be a long time gone

[00:00:35] I remember when I's ramblin'

[00:00:38] Around with the carnival trains

[00:00:42] Different towns different people

[00:00:45] Somehow they're all the same

[00:00:49] I remember children's faces best

[00:00:52] I remember travelin' on

[00:00:56] I'm a long time a-comin'

[00:00:59] I'll be a long time gone

[00:01:05] Many times by the highwayside

[00:01:07] I tried to flag a ride

[00:01:12] With bloodshot eyes and gritting teeth

[00:01:14] I'd watch the cars roll by

[00:01:19] With it clearly carved upon

[00:01:21] Just give to me my gravestone

[00:01:25] "I's a long time a-comin'

[00:01:28] An' I'll be a long time gone "

[00:01:34] You might see me on your crossroads

[00:01:36] When I'm a-passin' through

[00:01:40] Remember me how you wished to

[00:01:43] As I'm a-driftin' from your view

[00:01:47] I ain't got the time to think about it

[00:01:50] I got too much to get done

[00:01:54] Well I'm a long time comin'

[00:01:56] An' I'll be a long time gone

[00:02:03] If I can't help somebody

[00:02:05] With a word or song

[00:02:09] If I can't show somebody

[00:02:12] They are travelin' wrong

[00:02:16] But I know I ain't no prophet

[00:02:19] An' I ain't no prophet's son

[00:02:23] I'm just a long time a-comin'

[00:02:25] An' I'll be a long time gone

[00:02:31] So you can have your beauty

[00:02:34] It's skin deep and it only lies

[00:02:38] And you can have your youth

[00:02:41] It'll rot before your eyes

[00:02:45] Just give to me my gravestone

[00:02:47] With it clearly carved upon:

[00:02:51] "I's a long time a-comin'

[00:02:54] An' I'll be a long time gone "

[00:03:00] My parents raised me tenderly

[00:03:02] I was their only one

[00:03:06] My mind got mixed with ramblin'

[00:03:09] When I was all so young

[00:03:13] And I left my home the first time

[00:03:16] When I was twelve and one

[00:03:20] I'm a long time a-comin' Maw

[00:03:23] An' I'll be a long time gone

[00:03:28] I'm a long time a-comin' Maw

[00:03:31] An' I'll be a long time gone
