《False Accuser’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] False Accuser's Lament - Jason Boland & The Stragglers

[00:00:01] Written by：Jason Boland

[00:00:15] I said I'd seen the killin'

[00:00:17] Could identify the villain

[00:00:21] Shot a man beneath the town hall glow

[00:00:27] I was one of few

[00:00:30] The jury never knew

[00:00:33] Lied to line our pockets with the banker's jealous gold

[00:00:40] Said his lovin' woman sinned

[00:00:43] Let alone with a friend

[00:00:47] He couldn't have his children's mother shamed

[00:00:52] Who I saw shoot and run

[00:00:55] Coulda' been anyone

[00:00:58] For the price of a new plow a local man was framed

[00:01:06] Now the nightly terror is the portion to be paid

[00:01:12] I hear the guilty gavel

[00:01:15] I see his body sway

[00:01:19] Father please forgive me for I falsely testified

[00:01:26] They had me swear upon the bible and I lied

[00:01:39] I never strayed before

[00:01:42] But the pain of bein' poor

[00:01:45] Lord what the hell came over me

[00:01:51] This ain't who mama raised

[00:01:54] Another dollar fearin' slave

[00:01:57] But the thought of losin' all our land was blindin' to see

[00:02:04] Now the nightly terror is the portion to be paid

[00:02:10] I hear the guilty gavel

[00:02:13] I see his body sway

[00:02:18] Father please forgive me for I falsely testified

[00:02:24] They had me swear upon the bible and I lied

[00:02:58] The seeds have all been sown

[00:03:01] Soon the crops are nearly grown

[00:03:04] But the rain let up the ground turned hard as nails

[00:03:10] The banker took my home

[00:03:13] Now I'm in these hills alone

[00:03:16] Oh from time to time I see his wife in a long black veil

[00:03:24] Oh how the nightly terror is the portion to be paid

[00:03:30] I hear the guilty gavel

[00:03:33] I see his body sway

[00:03:37] Father please forgive me for I falsely testified

[00:03:44] They had me swear upon the bible and I lied

[00:03:51] Oh father please forgive me for I falsely testified

[00:03:57] They had me swear upon the bible and I lied
