《Leaving Eden》歌词

[00:00:00] Leaving Eden - Carolina Chocolate Drops

[00:00:15] Hush now don't you wake up

[00:00:17] We'll be leaving at first light

[00:00:20] Mama's buying you a mockingbird

[00:00:24] To lull you through the night

[00:00:29] Across the Dan by morning

[00:00:32] Here's a blanket for you to share

[00:00:35] They're building down in Georgia

[00:00:38] Daddy hears he'll find work there

[00:00:43] And the mockingbird can sing

[00:00:46] Like the crying of the dove

[00:00:50] And I can't tell my daughters

[00:00:53] All the things that I am scared of

[00:00:59] But I am not afraid of

[00:01:02] That bright glory up above

[00:01:06] Dying's just another way

[00:01:09] To lead the ones you love

[00:01:17] No work for the working man

[00:01:20] Just one more empty mill

[00:01:23] Hard times in Rockingham

[00:01:26] Hard times harder still

[00:01:31] The crows are in the kitchen

[00:01:34] The wolves at the door

[00:01:37] Our father's land of Eden

[00:01:41] Is paradise no more

[00:01:45] And the mockingbird can sing

[00:01:48] Like the crying of the dove

[00:01:52] And I can't tell my daughters

[00:01:54] All the things that I am scared of

[00:02:01] But I am not afraid of

[00:02:04] That bright glory up above

[00:02:08] Dying's just another way

[00:02:11] To lead the ones you love

[00:03:02] My sister stayed in Eden

[00:03:05] Her husband's got some land

[00:03:08] An agent for the county thinks

[00:03:11] That they might make a stand

[00:03:16] A hard life full of working

[00:03:19] With nothing much to show

[00:03:22] A long life of leaving

[00:03:25] With nowhere to go

[00:03:30] And the mockingbird can sing

[00:03:33] Like the crying of the dove

[00:03:36] And I can't tell my daughters

[00:03:39] All the things

[00:03:40] That I am scared of

[00:03:46] But I am not afraid

[00:03:48] Of that bright glory up above

[00:03:52] Dying's just another way to lead the ones you love
