《The Hostage(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hostage (LP版) - Judy Collins

[00:00:04] I'm a guard in the great iron prison

[00:00:06] Where least I was 'till now

[00:00:08] It was never a picnic social

[00:00:10] Never a date

[00:00:13] They never come in laughing

[00:00:15] And you know they never taught them how

[00:00:17] It was d**n hard work

[00:00:18] And you wouldn't believe the pay

[00:00:22] It was early in the morning lord

[00:00:24] I wasn't but a half awake

[00:00:26] When the cons went nuts

[00:00:27] And took us by surprise

[00:00:30] I never was one for shaking

[00:00:33] But I found it hard to stand

[00:00:35] With a six inch blade

[00:00:36] Held right before my eyes

[00:00:39] We could hear a siren blowing

[00:00:42] And

[00:00:42] Somebody yelled in pain

[00:00:44] Then it got so quiet

[00:00:45] You could hear a bird walk by

[00:00:48] They all wan masks on their faces

[00:00:51] They spoke with a voice of cain

[00:00:53] If they come in shooting

[00:00:54] You know you're bound to die

[00:00:57] I turned to a buddy named willie

[00:00:59] I said willie it'll be all right

[00:01:02] If they meant to kill us

[00:01:03] We'd be half way down to hell

[00:01:06] See they high jacked a plane

[00:01:07] In the dessert

[00:01:08] And the government screamed and cries

[00:01:11] But to save some lives

[00:01:12] The opened up a prison cell

[00:01:15] So the days kept coming and going

[00:01:18] Tension was getting high

[00:01:20] But I wasn't too worried

[00:01:21] I figured I knew the score

[00:01:24] I knew they were talking to someone

[00:01:27] I knew they were willing to try

[00:01:29] So I figured my freedom

[00:01:30] Was a matter of a day or two more

[00:01:33] And Jesus early this morning

[00:01:36] The whirlybird dropped the gas

[00:01:38] It made me secound

[00:01:39] And it brought me to my knees

[00:01:43] Bullets came like hai stones

[00:01:45] I heard the first ones pass

[00:01:47] Then they cut down willie

[00:01:48] And they got jim kelly and me

[00:01:51] They come in yelling curses

[00:01:53] Like they were caught

[00:01:54] In the river rhine

[00:01:56] Shot down every

[00:01:57] God damned thing my saw

[00:02:01] And while I lay they wounded

[00:02:03] I took another one in my spine

[00:02:05] Poor jim kelly got

[00:02:07] Another one in his jaw

[00:02:10] They say we had our throats cut

[00:02:12] By a band of desperate men

[00:02:14] They say they saved

[00:02:15] Just as many of us they as they could

[00:02:19] Was a governor he should no it

[00:02:21] An I think I'll say it again

[00:02:23] That the governor

[00:02:24] Cut my throat and he cut it good

[00:02:28] Yea

[00:02:28] Let them take the governor

[00:02:30] Hold him for a couple of days

[00:02:33] See who goes in shooting to set him free

[00:02:36] Hell they'll open every

[00:02:37] Jail in the country

[00:02:39] Send them on their way

[00:02:41] They'd never do to him

[00:02:42] What the governor done to me
