So Long Train Whistle - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:00]
Daddy's been a railroad man[00:00:50]
Since he was twenty-one[00:00:54]
Two yers of Britty ship[00:00:57]
Beakmen on the Denver run [00:01:00]
Thirty he made fireman[00:01:04]
Thirty-five an engineer[00:01:07]
Now at sixty-five[00:01:10]
He's reached the end of his career [00:01:13]
Daddy said he's glad it's over[00:01:19]
But he ain't foolin' me[00:01:23]
Last night I overheard him singing[00:01:26]
This sad old melody [00:01:29]
So long train whistle[00:01:32]
So long hmm-hmm[00:01:37]
This near generation[00:01:46]
Has no need for you or I [00:01:48]
We both served the nation[00:01:53]
Long before it learned to fly[00:01:55]
Nothing last forever[00:01:59]
Now it's our turn to die [00:02:03]
Lord hear that whistle cry [00:02:06]
Daddy's not the only one[00:02:13]
The railroad lines are fired[00:02:16]
And New York Central Limited[00:02:19]
Long since been retired [00:02:23]
The Chief is gone from Santa Fe[00:02:26]
The SP Lark as well[00:02:30]
I'm soon to rest to leave the rails[00:02:33]
Lord only time you tell [00:02:36]
I know that you can't stop progress[00:02:41]
New things happen every day[00:02:45]
We gonna mourn that lonely whistle[00:02:49]
If it finally fades away [00:02:52]
So long train whistle [00:02:55]
So long hmm-hmm[00:02:59]
This near generation[00:03:09]
Has no need for you or I [00:03:11]
We both served the nation[00:03:15]
Long before it learned to fly[00:03:17]
Nothing last forever[00:03:22]
Now it's our turn to die [00:03:25]
Lord hear that whistle cry [00:03:29]
Mhm mhm hear that whistle cry mhm mhm[00:03:36]
