《Taneytown(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Taneytown (Album Version) - Steve Earle

[00:00:32] I went down to Taneytown

[00:00:36] I went down to Taneytown

[00:00:39] To see what I could see

[00:00:45] My mama told me never go

[00:00:49] But I'm almost 22 years old

[00:00:52] Sometimes I fear this holler swollow me

[00:00:59] She ran off to Gettysburg

[00:01:02] Went off with that new beau of hers

[00:01:05] I snuck off after dark

[00:01:12] Long way down the county road

[00:01:15] Stars were bright

[00:01:17] The moon was low

[00:01:19] Down to where the black top highway starts

[00:01:25] I went down to Taneytown

[00:01:29] I went down to Taneytown

[00:01:32] I went down to see what I could see

[00:01:51] I could see everybody stared at me

[00:01:55] You'd think that they ain't never seen

[00:01:58] A colored boy before

[00:02:05] They chunked at me

[00:02:06] Called me names

[00:02:08] They'd have whipped me sure but the sheriff came

[00:02:12] I slipped off through the dry goods store

[00:02:18] I ran down division street

[00:02:21] Some of them boys followed me

[00:02:24] Down to the railroad track

[00:02:31] Four of them and I can't fight

[00:02:34] But I had my old Randall knife

[00:02:38] I cut that boy and I never did look back

[00:02:44] I went down to Taneytown

[00:02:47] I went down to Taneytown

[00:02:51] I went down to see what I could see

[00:03:49] Cross the fields and woods I run

[00:03:52] Like a bullet from a rabbit gun

[00:03:56] Back home to my bed

[00:04:03] Ma came in from Gettysburg

[00:04:06] Her and that new beau of hers

[00:04:09] Boy you look like hell was all she said

[00:04:16] Month went by without a word

[00:04:19] Somebody down the holler heard

[00:04:23] About that boy they hung

[00:04:29] He begged those men to spare his life

[00:04:32] But I dropped my bloody Randall knife

[00:04:36] He picked it up so they thought he was the one

[00:04:43] I went down to Taneytown

[00:04:45] I went down to Taneytown

[00:04:49] I ain't going back there anymore
