The Fool's Paradise - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)[00:00:00]
As I write this letter to you darlin'[00:00:10]
I can't hold the teardrops from my eyes[00:00:18]
For at sundown I will lay a-dyin'[00:00:26]
At the door of the Fool's Paradise[00:00:33]
Rode into this cattle town this mornin'[00:00:41]
Left my burro to check the market price[00:00:49]
And I walked into the nearest barroom[00:00:56]
They call it the Fool's Paradise[00:01:04]
There the crowd was gay and girls were dancin'[00:01:12]
And the men were playin' cards and dice[00:01:19]
So I stepped up to the bar to join them[00:01:27]
What a grand place this Fool's Paradise[00:01:34]
It was then I showed to them your picture[00:01:42]
I passed it around once or twice[00:01:50]
Then a man insulted your sweet honour[00:01:57]
At the bar of the Fool's Paradise[00:02:05]
So I slapped his face and I told him I says[00:02:14]
You eat them words Mister or draw that's my advice[00:02:19]
And he said Well somebody might get hurt inside[00:02:24]
But I'll be glad to meet you in the street at sundown[00:02:30]
At sundown in front of the Fool's Paradise[00:02:36]
So goodbye my darlin' may God bless you[00:02:43]
I go to make this sacrifice[00:02:51]
And if ever you visit old Dodge City[00:02:58]
Remember the Fool's Paradise[00:03:06]
