《Straight Down The Line》歌词

[00:00:00] Straight Down The Line - Robbie Robertson

[00:00:22] From the Chitlin' Circuit to the Peppermint Lounge

[00:00:27] Been run off more than once for goin' underground

[00:00:31] Where I met an old blues-man with a walking cane

[00:00:36] He wore a stripe suit and used someone else's name

[00:00:41] He said Son I've seen it all

[00:00:44] And it's not what you think

[00:00:50] He said There's some tough choices to be made

[00:00:53] Then he took a little drink and I heard him say

[00:01:00] I do not play no rock and roll

[00:01:05] Would not be moved to sell my soul

[00:01:09] The demons are out tonight

[00:01:13] Rock you sinners

[00:01:18] Whoa the demons are out tonight

[00:01:22] Roll you sinners

[00:01:25] Straight down the line

[00:01:28] Passed an old church on my way back East

[00:01:32] Heard a gospel choir singing of war and peace

[00:01:37] I was deeply moved so I stepped inside

[00:01:42] I just stood in the back where I could easily hide

[00:01:46] A woman in a black robe stood up

[00:01:50] And pointed me out

[00:01:56] She said Hallelu Hallelu Lord

[00:02:01] Then she began to shout this is what she said

[00:02:06] I do not play no rock and roll

[00:02:10] Would not be moved to sell my soul

[00:02:15] The demons are out tonight

[00:02:18] Rock you sinners

[00:02:23] Oh the demons are out tonight

[00:02:28] Roll you sinners

[00:02:30] Straight down the line

[00:02:52] Now he could croon a tune as good as anyone

[00:02:57] And if he sings a song then that song's been sung

[00:03:02] Some things got tradition some shine like new

[00:03:06] Some things you can't change no matter what you do

[00:03:11] He said My friend I've done it all

[00:03:16] Either for love or money

[00:03:21] And if I laugh at your jokes

[00:03:25] Oh that means his jokes are funny

[00:03:28] And one more thing

[00:03:30] I do not play no rock and roll

[00:03:35] Would not be moved to sell my soul

[00:03:39] The demons are out tonight

[00:03:43] Rock you sinners

[00:03:48] Oh the demons are out tonight

[00:03:52] Roll you sinners

[00:03:55] Straight down the line
