Matthew (马修) - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)[00:00:00]
Had an uncle named Matthew[00:00:07]
Was his fathers only boy[00:00:12]
Born just south of Colby Kansas[00:00:16]
Was his mothers pride and joy[00:00:20]
Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on[00:00:23]
Love was just the way to live and die[00:00:27]
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield[00:00:32]
Blue just a Kansas summer sky[00:00:36]
All the stories that he told me[00:00:41]
Back when I was just a lad[00:00:45]
All the memories that he gave me[00:00:50]
All the good times that he had[00:00:54]
Growing up a Kansas farmboy[00:00:58]
Life was mostly having fun[00:01:03]
Riding on his Daddys shoulders[00:01:07]
Behind a mule beneath the sun[00:01:12]
Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on[00:01:14]
Love was just the way to live and die[00:01:19]
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield[00:01:23]
Blue is just a Kansas summer sky[00:01:27]
Well I guess there were some hard times[00:01:32]
And I'm told some years were lean[00:01:36]
They had a storm in forty-seven[00:01:41]
A twister came and stripped them clean[00:01:45]
He lost the farm and lost his family[00:01:49]
He lost the wheat and lost his home[00:01:54]
But he found the family Bible[00:01:58]
Faith as solid as a stone[00:02:02]
Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on[00:02:05]
Love was just the way to live and die[00:02:10]
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield[00:02:14]
Blue just a Kansas summer sky[00:02:18]
So he came to live at our house[00:02:23]
And he came to work the land[00:02:27]
He came to ease my Daddys burden[00:02:32]
And he came to be my friend[00:02:36]
So I wrote this down for Matthew[00:02:40]
And it's for him the song is sung[00:02:45]
Riding on his Daddy's shoulders[00:02:49]
Behind a Mule beneath the sun[00:02:53]
Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on[00:02:56]
Love was just the way to live and die[00:03:00]
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield[00:03:05]
Bluewas just a Kansas summer sky[00:03:09]
Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on[00:03:12]
Love was just the way to live and die[00:03:16]
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield[00:03:20]
Blue just a Kansas summer sky[00:03:25]
