《Easter Eve》歌词

[00:00:01] Easter Eve - John Mellencamp

[00:00:20] Well me and my son of only fourteen

[00:00:24] A finer young gentleman you've never seen

[00:00:29] We went out walking on Easter Eve

[00:00:33] Just to pass some time together

[00:00:40] Well he asked me some questions of things

[00:00:42] That I'd done

[00:00:44] But I kept it good natured

[00:00:46] We were just having fun

[00:00:48] And we talked about everything under the sun

[00:00:53] And the Easter bells were chiming

[00:00:59] So we walked for a while into a cafe we went

[00:01:03] For we were hungry from the time we'd spent

[00:01:08] We carried no malice or any contempt

[00:01:12] And both our hearts were shining

[00:01:36] Well we weren't there long before my kid said hey

[00:01:41] There's a man over there

[00:01:43] And he's looking our way

[00:01:45] Pay no attention I said to the lad

[00:01:49] Let's just mind our own business this evening

[00:01:56] Well the man approached said what are you staring at

[00:02:00] And that if we didn't stop gawking

[00:02:03] He'd take us out back

[00:02:05] And teach us some manners

[00:02:07] It was simple as that

[00:02:09] Keep your eyes to yourselves

[00:02:11] You bastards

[00:02:16] So I looked up

[00:02:17] And said why don't you just sit down

[00:02:20] You're walking here sir

[00:02:22] On very thin ground

[00:02:24] There's nobody gawking or looking around

[00:02:28] And you're alarming all of the patrons

[00:02:53] Well I guess that I shouldn't have said that

[00:02:57] Cause he raised his voice said get ready to scrap

[00:03:01] And with that he gave my kid's head a snap

[00:03:05] And said come and get what you've got coming

[00:03:12] Well my son stood up and hit him a lick

[00:03:16] And I tried to stop him but it happened so quick

[00:03:21] Then he smashed the man's head down in the deck

[00:03:25] He was giving that fella a beating

[00:03:32] But the man reached down pulled out a small gun

[00:03:36] And he pointed it straight at the head of my son

[00:03:40] But with a longneck bottle the kid slashed at his jaw

[00:03:45] And the pistol fell down on the table

[00:04:09] Well thank God the cops came

[00:04:11] And broke up the brawl

[00:04:13] There was blood on the ceiling

[00:04:15] And blood on the wall

[00:04:17] I said to my son you know

[00:04:20] You don't win them all

[00:04:22] This has sure been one hell of an evening

[00:04:28] He said you know Dad I never even saw that gal

[00:04:33] But I wasn't going to stand for him threatening us now

[00:04:37] And I hope you forgive me for being so wild

[00:04:42] Here on Easter Evening

[00:04:48] Well they arrested us all and took us to jail

[00:04:52] But ten minutes later we were all out on bail

[00:04:57] And the wife of the man came up to my son

[00:05:01] And said thank you young man

[00:05:03] For what you have done

[00:05:05] You know my husband is jealous and very cruel

[00:05:10] And whenever we're out he always acts like a fool

[00:05:14] And I'm gonna quit him now

[00:05:16] That they got him locked up

[00:05:18] And I hope to hell that he will rot

[00:05:42] Well me and my son of only fourteen

[00:05:47] A finer young gentleman you've never seen

[00:05:51] We went out walking one Easter Eve

[00:05:55] And left with that man's wife that evening
