《The Ballad of Forty Dollars》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad of Forty Dollars - Johnny Cash

[00:00:04] The man who preached the funeral

[00:00:06] Said it really was a simple way to die

[00:00:11] He laid down to rest one afternoon

[00:00:13] And never opened up his eyes

[00:00:18] They hired me and Fred and Joe

[00:00:20] To dig the grave and carry up some chairs

[00:00:24] It took us seven hours

[00:00:26] And I guess we must've drunk a case of beer

[00:00:32] I guess I ought to go and watch them put him down

[00:00:35] But I don't own a suit

[00:00:39] And anyway when they start talkin' about

[00:00:41] The fire in Hell well I get spooked

[00:00:45] So I'll just sit here in my truck

[00:00:47] And act like I don't know him when they pass

[00:00:52] Anyway when they're all through

[00:00:54] I've got to go to work and mow the grass

[00:01:01] Well here they come and who's that

[00:01:02] Ridin' in that big ol' shiny limousine

[00:01:07] Look at all that chrome I do believe

[00:01:10] That that's the sharpest thing I've seen

[00:01:13] That must belong to his great uncle

[00:01:16] Someone said he owned a big ol' farm

[00:01:20] When they get parked I'll mosey down

[00:01:22] And look it over that won't do no harm

[00:01:41] Well that must be the widow in the car

[00:01:44] And would you take a look at that

[00:01:48] That sure is a pretty dress

[00:01:50] You know some women do look good in black

[00:01:54] Well he's not even in the ground

[00:01:56] And they say that his truck is up for sale

[00:02:00] They say she took it pretty hard

[00:02:03] But you can't tell too much behind the veil

[00:02:09] Well listen ain't that pretty

[00:02:11] When the bugler plays the Military Taps

[00:02:15] I think that when you's in the war

[00:02:18] They always hide'n play a song like that

[00:02:22] Well here I am and there they go

[00:02:24] And I guess you'd just call it my bad luck

[00:02:28] I hope he rests in peace the trouble is

[00:02:31] The fellow owes me forty bucks
