[00:00:00] Farmer's Almanac (Album Version) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:17] Well the farmer prayed for a better year

[00:00:19] And the crops were good like the Lord did hear

[00:00:22] But his barn burned down with winter near

[00:00:25] The answer came in white and black

[00:00:27] In the farmer's almanac it says

[00:00:31] 'If a man could have half his wishes

[00:00:34] He could double his trouble'

[00:00:38] A sweet old lady was eighty-four

[00:00:40] When her kinfolks came for a month or more

[00:00:43] Now from overwork she's on the other shore

[00:00:45] Much too late was y'all come back

[00:00:48] And it says in the farmer's almanac it says

[00:00:52] 'Visitors and fish smell after three days'

[00:00:58] Our leader was a silver tongued man

[00:01:00] He deceived the people of the land

[00:01:03] And when he got caught he couldn't stand

[00:01:06] It's a little off-beat and a little off-track

[00:01:08] But it says in the farmer's almanac it says

[00:01:12] 'In rivers and bad government

[00:01:14] The lightest things flow to the top'

[00:01:33] Rod said "I don't believe in God"

[00:01:35] Rod died and lies beneath the sod

[00:01:38] For God did not believe in Rod

[00:01:40] Life is a troubled and a weary track

[00:01:43] But it says in the farmer's almanac it says

[00:01:47] 'Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death'

[00:01:53] The little boy followed the honeybee

[00:01:55] And it flew straight to the honey tree

[00:01:58] He got stung but got the honey free

[00:02:01] Consolation for the things you lack

[00:02:04] Is in the farmer's almanac it says

[00:02:07] 'God gives us the darkness so we can see the stars'

[00:02:13] He came home three hours late from work

[00:02:16] Said "I had a flat and fell in the dirt"

[00:02:18] She said "You gotten lipstick on your shirt"

[00:02:21] Well it turned out like Jill and Jack

[00:02:23] And it says in the farmer's almanac it says

[00:02:27] 'Lies have to be covered up truth can run around naked'

[00:02:47] He said "Honey you know I'm true

[00:02:49] I just look at other women that's all I do"

[00:02:51] Then she caught him with her best friend Peggy Sue

[00:02:54] Sometimes some women will look back

[00:02:56] And it says in the farmer's almanac it says

[00:03:00] 'There's a lot of difference in window shoppin' and shop liftin''

[00:03:07] I sat down at a shoeshine stand

[00:03:09] I had a real slow shoeshine man

[00:03:11] I said you don't pop that rag like some of 'em can

[00:03:14] He looked at me and then he sat right back

[00:03:16] It says in the farmer's almanac it says

[00:03:20] 'The trouble with the world today is

[00:03:23] There's too much poppin' and not enough shinin''
