《Christmas Trail(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Christmas Trail - Michael Martin Murphey

[00:00:10] The wind is blowing cold down the mountain tips of snow

[00:00:15] And cross the ranges lying brown and dead

[00:00:20] It's crying through the valley trees that wear the mistle toe

[00:00:24] And morning with the gray clouds over head

[00:00:29] Yet it's sweet with the beat of my little horses feet

[00:00:34] And i whistle like the air is warm and blue

[00:00:39] I'm riding up the christmas trail to you old folks

[00:00:44] I'm riding up the christmas trail to you

[00:00:49] Oh maybe it was good when the whinny of the spring

[00:00:53] Had wheeled me to hoping of bars

[00:00:58] And living in the shadow of a sailing buzzards wing

[00:01:03] And sleeping underneath a roof of stars

[00:01:07] But the bright campfire light only dances for a night

[00:01:13] While the home fire burns forever clear and true

[00:01:17] So round the year i circle back to you old folks

[00:01:22] And i'm riding up the christmas trail to you

[00:01:37] Maybe it was good at the roundup in the fall

[00:01:41] When the clouds of bawling dust before us ran

[00:01:46] And the pride of rope and saddle was the driving of us all

[00:01:51] To a stretch of nerve and muscle man to man

[00:01:55] But the pride sorta died when the man got weary eyed

[00:02:00] Was a sleepy boy who rode the night guard through

[00:02:05] And he dreamed himself along a trail to you old folks

[00:02:10] Dreaming himself along a christmas trail to you

[00:02:16] The coyotes winter howl cuts the dusk behind the hill

[00:02:20] But the ranch's shinning window i can see

[00:02:25] And though i don't deserve it and i reckon never will

[00:02:29] There'll be room beside the fire kept for me

[00:02:34] Skimp my plate cause i'm late let me hit the old home gate

[00:02:39] For tonight I'm stumblin' tired of the new

[00:02:43] And i'm riding up the christmas trail to you old folks

[00:02:48] I'm riding up the christmas trail to you

[00:02:53] I'm riding up the christmas trail to you old folks

[00:02:58] I'm riding up the christmas trail to you
