《Percy’s Song》歌词

[00:00:00] "Bad news bad news come to me where I sleep"

[00:00:05] Turn turn turn again

[00:00:10] "Say one of your friends is in trouble deep"

[00:00:16] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:00:26] "Tell me the trouble tell me once to my ear"

[00:00:31] Turn turn turn again

[00:00:36] "Joliet prison and ninety-nine years"

[00:00:41] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:00:48] "Oh what's the charge of how this came to be "

[00:00:56] Turn turn turn again

[00:01:00] "Manslaughter in the highest degree"

[00:01:06] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:01:14] I sat down and wrote the best words I could write

[00:01:20] Turn turn turn again

[00:01:24] Explaining to the judge I'd be there on Wednesday night

[00:01:30] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:01:37] Without a reply I left by the moon

[00:01:45] Turn turn turn again

[00:01:50] And was in his chambers by the next afternoon

[00:01:55] Fairport Convention

[00:01:58] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:02:05] "Would you tell me the facts " I said without fear

[00:02:09] Turn turn turn again

[00:02:15] "That a friend of mine could get ninety-nine years"

[00:02:20] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:02:29] "A crash on the highway flew the car to a field"

[00:02:33] Turn turn turn again

[00:02:38] "There was four persons killed and he was at the wheel"

[00:02:44] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:02:53] "But I knew him as good as I'm knowing myself"

[00:02:58] Turn turn turn again

[00:03:02] "And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else"

[00:03:08] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:03:16] The judge he spoke out of the side of his mouth

[00:03:22] Turn turn turn again

[00:03:26] Saying "The witness who saw he left without doubt"

[00:03:31] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:03:37] "That may be true he's got a sentence to serve"

[00:03:46] Turn turn turn again

[00:03:50] "But ninety-nine years he just don't deserve"

[00:03:56] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:04:05] "Too late too late for his case it is sealed"

[00:04:10] Turn turn turn again

[00:04:14] "His sentence it is passed and cannot be repealed"

[00:04:20] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:04:27] "But he ain't no criminal and his crime it is none"

[00:04:33] Turn turn turn again

[00:04:39] "What happened to him could happen to anyone"

[00:04:44] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:04:53] At that the judge jumped forward and his face it did freeze

[00:04:58] Turn turn turn again

[00:05:03] Saying "Could you kindly leave my office now please "

[00:05:08] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:05:17] His eyes looked funny and I stood up so slow

[00:05:22] Turn turn turn again

[00:05:25] With no other choice except for to go

[00:05:32] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:05:41] I walked down the hallway and I heard his door slam

[00:05:46] Turn turn turn again

[00:05:51] I walked down the courthouse stairs and did not understand

[00:05:56] Turn turn to the rain and the wind

[00:06:04] And I played my guitar through the night to the day

[00:06:10] Turn turn turn again

[00:06:15] And the only tune my guitar could play was "The Old Cruel Rain And The Wind"
