《Ballad Of Forty Dollars》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad Of Forty Dollars - Tom T.Hall

[00:00:07] The man who preached the funeral

[00:00:08] Said it really was a simple way to die

[00:00:15] He laid down to rest one afternoon

[00:00:17] And never opened up his eyes

[00:00:23] They hired me and Fred and Joe

[00:00:26] To dig the grave and carry up some chairs

[00:00:32] It took us seven hours

[00:00:33] And I guess, we must have drunk a case of beer

[00:00:40] I guess, I ought to go and watch them put him down

[00:00:43] But I don't own a suit

[00:00:48] And anyway when they start talkin' about

[00:00:51] The fire in hell, well, I get spooked

[00:00:57] So, I'll just sit here in my truck

[00:00:59] And act like I don't know him when they pass

[00:01:05] Anyway, when they're all through

[00:01:07] I've got to go to work and mow the grass

[00:01:14] Well, here they come and who's that

[00:01:15] Ridin' in that big ol' shiny limousine

[00:01:22] Mmh! look at all that chrome, I do believe

[00:01:24] That that's the sharpest thing I've seen

[00:01:30] That must belong to his great uncle

[00:01:33] Someone said, "He owned a big ol' farm"

[00:01:39] When they get parked, I'll mosey down

[00:01:41] And look it over, that won't do no harm

[00:01:47] Well, that must be the widow in the car

[00:01:50] And would you take a look at that?

[00:01:56] That sure is a pretty dress

[00:01:58] You know, some women do look good in black

[00:02:04] Well, he's not even in the ground

[00:02:06] And they say that his truck is up for sale

[00:02:12] They say, she took it pretty hard

[00:02:15] But you can't tell too much behind the veil

[00:02:21] Well, listen ain't that pretty

[00:02:22] When the bugler plays the, 'Military taps'

[00:02:29] I think that when you's in the war

[00:02:31] They always hide 'n' play a song like that

[00:02:37] Well, here I am and there they go

[00:02:40] And I guess, you'd just call it my bad luck

[00:02:46] I hope he rests in peace, the trouble is

[00:02:49] The fellow owes me forty bucks
