One Hour Ahead Of The Posse - Sam Cooke (萨姆·库克)[00:00:00]
One hour ahead of the posse[00:00:03]
The bloodhounds are hot on my trail[00:00:07]
Last night I shot my sweetheart[00:00:10]
This morning I broke out of jail[00:00:14]
My Pinto is tired and hungry[00:00:18]
And I'm feeling weary and warm[00:00:21]
We started ahead of the posse[00:00:25]
And we got to keep going on[00:00:28]
The sherrif aswored he would get me[00:00:32]
He's riding with 20 and 5[00:00:35]
But I'm not afeared of that posse[00:00:39]
They never will get me alive[00:00:43]
One hour ahead of the posse[00:00:48]
No turning to left or to right[00:00:52]
We must win the race to the river[00:00:55]
Or there'll be a hanging tonight[00:00:59]
One hour ahead of the posse[00:01:04]
No time for remorse or regret[00:01:08]
But somehow her eyes still haunt me[00:01:11]
Her laughter is taunting me yet[00:01:15]
It started the night that we might[00:01:18]
She kissed me and vowed she would care[00:01:21]
I traded the gold in pocket[00:01:25]
To fondle the curls in her hair[00:01:29]
She lied when she told me she loved me[00:01:33]
She lied with each kiss that she gave[00:01:36]
She lied to the moment I caught her[00:01:40]
And now she lies still in her grave[00:01:43]
On hour ahead of the posse[00:01:49]
The night is a-coming on fast[00:01:52]
We must win the race to the rio[00:01:56]
And well shake that old posse at last[00:01:59]
We're nearing the end of our journey[00:02:05]
And now I'm inside of my goal[00:02:08]
At last we've beaten the posse[00:02:12]
May the Lord have mercy on my soul[00:02:17]
May the Lord have mercy on my soul[00:02:29]
