Corey's Coming (科里来了) (LP Version) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

Written by：Harry Chapin[00:00:01]

Old John Joseph was a man with two first names[00:00:13]

They left him in the railroad yard when they took away the trains[00:00:18]

Only one run a week comes on roaring down that line[00:00:23]

So all he got to worry 'bout is time[00:00:28]

I come by in the evening to hear 'bout where he's been[00:00:33]

He says come on sit down kid where shall I begin[00:00:37]

He starts telling me the stories of the glories of his past[00:00:42]

But he always saves the story of his Corey for the last[00:00:47]

And he says my Corey's coming no more sad stories coming[00:00:52]

My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl[00:00:59]

And like I told you when she holds you[00:01:04]

She enfolds you in her world[00:01:08]

I was quite surprised to find out all the places that he knew[00:01:23]

And so I asked the towns folk if his stories were true[00:01:28]

Well they said old John was born here he's lived here all his life[00:01:33]

He's never had a woman let alone a wife[00:01:38]

And very soon you'll find out as you check around[00:01:43]

That no one named Corey's ever lived in this town[00:01:48]

So I chided the old man 'bout the truth that I had heard[00:01:52]

He smiled and said reality is only just a word[00:01:57]

Can't you see my Corey's coming[00:02:02]

No more sad stories coming[00:02:05]

My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl[00:02:08]

And like I told you when she holds you she enfolds you in her world[00:02:14]

I came by one evening but he did not hear my shout[00:02:25]

I looked in the window and saw the fire was out[00:02:29]

When he would not wake up I forced in the door[00:02:35]

And I saw that old John Joseph would tell stories no more[00:02:39]

The scene at the graveyard three of us were there[00:02:46]

Me and the grave digger heard the parson's prayer[00:02:50]

He said we need not grieve for this man[00:02:55]

For we know that god cares[00:03:00]

They put the cold dirt over him left me on my own[00:03:09]

When at last I looked up I saw I was not alone[00:03:14]

So I said if you're a relative he had a peaceful end[00:03:19]

That's when she said my name is Corey[00:03:24]

You can say I'm just a friend[00:03:31]

Corey's coming no more sad stories coming[00:03:38]

My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl[00:03:46]

And like I told you when she holds you[00:03:57]

She enfolds you in her world[00:04:05]

So that's the old man's story I'm glad you came tonight[00:04:22]

You see a busted down old railroad yard sure makes a lonely sight[00:04:26]

You may wonder why a young man would work out here alone[00:04:32]

Well the job pays enough to keep some flesh on my bones[00:04:37]

And I confess I get to missing the old man a bit[00:04:42]

And there's one other reason I guess I should admit[00:04:47]

Can't you see my Corey's coming no more sad stories coming[00:04:54]

My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl[00:05:00]

And like he told me when she holds me[00:05:07]

She enfolds me in her world[00:05:15]
