《The Caretaker》歌词

[00:00:00] The Caretaker (Album Version) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:01] I live in the cemetery ol' caretaker they call me

[00:00:07] In the wintertime I rake the leaves and in the summer I cut the weeds

[00:00:14] When a funeral comes the people cry and pray

[00:00:18] They bury their dead and they all go away

[00:00:22] But through their grief I still can see their hate and greed and jealousy

[00:00:30] So here I work and I somehow hide from a world that rushes by outside

[00:00:38] And each night when I rest my head I'm contented as the peaceful death

[00:00:50] But who's gonna cry when old John dies who's gonna cry when old John dies

[00:00:59] Once I was a young man dashing with the girls

[00:01:06] Now no one wants an old man I lost my handsome curls

[00:01:13] But I wanna say when my time comes lay me facing the rising sun

[00:01:22] Put me in the corner where where I buried my pup

[00:01:26] Tell the preacher to pray then cover me up

[00:01:30] Don't lay flowers where my head should be maybe God let some grow for me

[00:01:38] And all the little children that I love like my own

[00:01:42] Will they be sorry that old John's gone

[00:01:50] Who's gonna cry when old John dies who's gonna cry when old John dies
