《Mary & Omie》歌词

[00:00:00] Mary & Omie - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)

[00:00:08] My daddy was a longshoreman

[00:00:10] In New Orleans

[00:00:13] My mamma kept score just

[00:00:14] Watchin' the Mardi Gras

[00:00:18] Oh me I sat on the front porch

[00:00:20] Watchin' the rails roll out

[00:00:23] I was waitin' for my Omie to

[00:00:25] Take me outta this south

[00:00:28] It was me and my sisters like to

[00:00:30] Wore that front porch out

[00:00:33] And there can't be more to this livin'

[00:00:35] Than loving my Omie

[00:00:39] We're both sittin' back here

[00:00:41] Watchin' our children grow

[00:00:44] If there's a better ace in the deck

[00:00:46] Well baby come on and show me

[00:00:49] If you ain't got a hand

[00:00:50] Then get on your wheel and roll

[00:00:54] 'Cuz there could never be a better hand

[00:00:56] Than these hearts I hold

[00:01:10] Me and my Omie we settled down here in Houston

[00:01:15] Oh and one by one we moved my sisters west

[00:01:20] We bought a house in the suburbs

[00:01:22] And we've got four fine children

[00:01:25] We are black middle class because Omie

[00:01:27] Wouldn't settle for less

[00:01:30] We are black middle class because Omie

[00:01:32] Wouldn't settle for less

[00:01:35] And there can't be more to this livin'

[00:01:37] Than loving my Omie

[00:01:41] We're both sittin' back here watchin'

[00:01:42] Our children grow

[00:01:46] If there's a better ace in the deck

[00:01:48] Well baby come on and show me

[00:01:51] If you ain't got a hand then get on

[00:01:53] Your wheel and roll

[00:01:56] 'Cuz there could never be a better hand

[00:01:58] Than these hearts I hold

[00:02:22] My children are the first thing in my mornin'

[00:02:27] My Omie is the last thing in my night

[00:02:32] Oh in between I dream about

[00:02:35] That porch back home

[00:02:37] And I bless my daddy for the love

[00:02:40] Within that house

[00:02:43] But I thank my Omie for takin'

[00:02:44] Me outta the south

[00:02:48] And there can't be more to this livin'

[00:02:50] Than loving my Omie

[00:02:53] We're both sittin' back here watchin'

[00:02:55] Our children grow

[00:02:58] If there's a better ace in the deck

[00:03:00] Well baby come on and show me

[00:03:03] If you ain't got a hand then get on

[00:03:06] Your wheel and roll

[00:03:08] 'Cuz there could never be a better hand

[00:03:11] Than these hearts I hold

[00:03:15] Look at these hearts I hold

[00:03:18] Look at these hearts I hold

[00:03:20] Look at these hearts I hold

[00:03:23] There ain't no place like home

[00:03:28] Look at these hearts we hold

[00:03:31] Look at those hearts you hold

[00:03:33] Hey my Omie's got a heart of gold

[00:03:38] Look at these hearts we hold

[00:03:41] Take a look at those hearts you hold
