Oh, Bury Me Not (Introduction: A Cowboy's Prayer) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)[00:00:00]
Lord I've never lived where churches grow I loved creation better as[00:00:08]
It stood That day you finished it so long ago And looked upon your work and[00:00:16]
Called it good I know that others find you in the light That sifted down through[00:00:26]
Tinted window panes And yet I seem to feel you near tonight In this dim quiet[00:00:34]
Starlight on the plains I thank you Lord that I'm placed so well That you've made[00:00:43]
My freedom so complete That I'm no slave to whistle clock or bell Nor weak eyed[00:00:53]
Prisoner of Waller Street Just let me live my life as I've begun And give me work[00:01:03]
That's open to the sky Make me a partner of the wind and sun And I won't ask a[00:01:12]
Life that's soft or high Let me be easy on the man that's down Let me be square[00:01:21]
And generous with all I'm careless sometimes Lord when I'm in town But never[00:01:30]
Let them say I'm mean or small Make me as big and open as the plains And[00:01:38]
Honest as the horse between my knees Clean as a wind that blows behind the[00:01:46]
Rains Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze Forgive me Lord if[00:01:53]
Sometimes I forget You know about the reasons that are hid You understand the[00:02:01]
Things that gall or fret Well you knew me better than my mother did Just keep an[00:02:09]
Eye on all that's done or said And right me[00:02:18]
Sometimes when I turn aside And guide me on that long dim trail ahead That[00:02:23]
Stretched upward toward the great divide[00:02:31]
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie These words came low and mournfully From[00:02:36]
The pallid lips of a youth who lay On his dying bed at the close of day[00:02:54]
Oh bury me not and his voice failed there But we took no heed to his dying[00:03:12]
Prayer In a shallow grave just six by three We buried him there on the lone prairie[00:03:27]
