Fool's Paradise - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)[00:00:00]
As I write this letter to you darling[00:00:11]
I can't hold the teardrops from my eyes[00:00:18]
For at sundown I will lay a dying at the door of the fool's paradise[00:00:26]
Rode into this cattle town this morning left my bearer to check the market price[00:00:42]
And I walked into the nearest barroom they call it the fool's paradise[00:00:57]
There the crowd was gay and girls were dancing[00:01:12]
And the men were playing cards and dies[00:01:20]
So I stepped up to the bar to join them[00:01:27]
What a grand place this fool's paradise[00:01:35]
It was then I showed to them your picture[00:01:43]
I passed it around once or twice[00:01:50]
Then a man insulted your sweet honor at the bar of the fool's paradise[00:01:58]
So I slapped his face and I told him[00:02:15]
I said you eat 'em words mister or draw that's my advice[00:02:18]
And he said well somebody might get hurty inside[00:02:25]
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 darling may god bless you I go to make this sacrifice[00:02:43]
And if ever you visit old dodge city remember the fool's paradise[00:02:58]
