《The Dying Truck Driver》歌词

[00:00:01] The Dying Truck Driver - Ry Cooder

[00:00:12] Well we made our way up 99 in the springtime of the year

[00:00:21] The San Joaquin was all in bloom and songbirds everywhere

[00:00:30] We chanced upon a workingman lying by the road

[00:00:39] I judged him for a truck driver by the clothes he wore

[00:00:51] We drew some nearer to him then inquirin' of his name

[00:01:00] Well here's three little angels come down for to carry me home

[00:01:09] Then bear me up to Jesus now my Savior I shall see

[00:01:18] You ain't no regular angels boys but that's alright by me

[00:01:30] Then Lefty stepping forward addressed the dyin' man

[00:01:39] Saying We're no angels brother but we'll do all we can

[00:01:48] What cowards set upon you sir and dealt the fatal blow

[00:01:57] We'll pull out every workingman from here to Ohio

[00:02:45] It was no vigilante gang nor ranch-boss thugs this time

[00:02:54] But the meatloaf special dinner I had on Highway 99

[00:03:03] A comely waitress served me there and she cooled me with her fan

[00:03:12] But fatal meatloaf has struck down this old truck drivin' man

[00:03:24] Then Lefty reached down in his bag saying You ain't dyin' friend

[00:03:33] Just take a drink of whiskey now you'll feel alright again

[00:03:42] All through the night we lingered there and passed that bottle round

[00:03:52] We hauled aboard at sunrise lit out for Frisco town

[00:04:03] Now the workingman must be we'll warned whenever headlines scream

[00:04:12] Your rights must yield the bombs must fall to save democracy

[00:04:22] The flag they fly their stew of lies served up at votin' time

[00:04:31] Like poison under the gravy on Highway 99
