《In The Hills Of Roane County》歌词

[00:00:00] In the Hills of Roane County - The Blue Sky Boys

[00:00:07] Composed by：Traditional

[00:00:14] In the beautiful hills in the midst of Roane County

[00:00:22] There's where I have roamed for many long years

[00:00:30] There's where my heart's been tending most ever

[00:00:38] That's where the first step of misfortune I made

[00:00:43] I was about thirty years when I courted and married

[00:00:51] Amanda Gilbraith I then called my wife

[00:00:59] For some unknown reason her brother Tom stabbed me

[00:01:07] Just three months later I'd taken Tom's life

[00:01:12] I was captured and tried in the village of Spenser

[00:01:20] Not a man in the County would speak one kind word

[00:01:27] When the jury came in with the verdict next morning

[00:01:35] A lifetime in prison were the words that I heard

[00:01:41] When the train pulled out poor mother stood weepin

[00:01:49] And sister she sat all alone with a sigh

[00:01:57] And the last words I heard was Willie God bless you

[00:02:04] Was Willie God bless you God bless you good bye

[00:02:10] In the scorching hot sand of Bamly I'm working

[00:02:18] Yes working and toiling my life all away

[00:02:25] They'll measure my grave on the bank of old Cumberland

[00:02:33] Just as soon as I finish the rest of my days

[00:02:43] No matter what happens to me in Roane County

[00:02:51] No matter how long my sentence may be

[00:02:59] Boys when you write home from a sturdy old prison

[00:03:06] Put one of my songs in your letter for me
