《The Arkansas Traveler》歌词

[00:00:00] Arkansas Traveler - The Kiboomers (婴儿音乐)

[00:00:10] Oh once upon a time in Arkansas

[00:00:12] An old man sat in his little cabin door

[00:00:15] And fiddled at a tune that he liked to hear

[00:00:18] A jolly old tune that he played by ear

[00:00:25] It was raining hard but the fiddler didn't care

[00:00:28] He sawed away at the popular air

[00:00:30] Tho' his rooftree leaked like a waterfall

[00:00:33] That didn't seem to bother the man at all

[00:00:41] A traveler was riding by that day

[00:00:43] And stopped to hear him a-practicing away;

[00:00:46] The cabin was a-float and his feet were wet

[00:00:48] But still the old man didn't seem to fret

[00:00:56] So the stranger said "Now the way it seems to me "

[00:00:59] You'd better mend your roof " said he

[00:01:01] But the old man said as he played away

[00:01:04] "I couldn't mend it now it's a rainy day "

[00:01:11] But the old man kept on a-playing at his reel

[00:01:14] And tapped the ground with his leathery heel

[00:01:16] "Get along " said he "for you give me a pain;

[00:01:19] My cabin never leaks when it doesn't rain "
