21 Years - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里)/Cisco Houston
I hear that train blow babe
She'll be here on time
Take me to prison
To serve out my time
Look down that railroad
Far as you can see
Keep right on wavin' your farewell to me
Six months have gone by babe
I wished I was dead
Dirty old jailhouse with a floor for a bed
It's raining it's hailing the moon gives no light
Baby please tell me why you never cry
I've counted the days babe
I've counted the nights
Counted the minutes
I've counted the lights
Counted the footsteps
Counted the stars
I've counted a million of these prison bars
I counted on you babe to give me break
I guess you forgot babe I'm here for your sake
You know who's guilty you know it too well
But I'd rot in this jailhouse before I would tell
Oh go beg that governor babe on your sweet soul
If you can't get a pardon try to get a parole
I had that governor or the governor's got me
Before Tuesday morning that governor'd be free
Come all you young fellows
With a heart brave and true
Don't bet on a woman you're beat if you do
Don't bet on a woman if she's the wrong kind
Twenty-one years babe is a mighty long time
