The Gulf Of Mexico - Steve Earle (史提夫·厄尔)[00:00:00]

Come and gather 'round me people[00:00:00]

And a tale to you I'll tell[00:00:03]

Of my father and his father[00:00:07]

In the days before the spill[00:00:10]

With an endless sky above 'em[00:00:14]

And a restless sea below[00:00:17]

And every blessin' flowing from the Gulf of Mexico[00:00:22]

From my Granddad with the shrimp boats[00:00:44]

From the time that he was grown[00:00:47]

And he scrimped and saved and bought himself[00:00:51]

A trawler of his own[00:00:55]

He was rough and he was ready[00:00:58]

And he drank when he was home[00:01:02]

And he made his family's living on the Gulf of Mexico[00:01:05]

We were rolling[00:01:13]

We were rolling[00:01:17]

Past the deep blue water[00:01:20]

He was rolling[00:01:25]

Well my Daddy drove a crew boat[00:01:45]

Hauling workers to the rigs[00:01:49]

He was sick of mending nets[00:01:52]

And couldn't stand the smell of fish[00:01:55]

He drew a steady paycheck[00:01:59]

20 years at Texico[00:02:03]

When he died they spread his ashes[00:02:07]

On the Gulf of Mexico[00:02:11]

We were rolling[00:02:15]

We were rolling[00:02:18]

Past the deep green water[00:02:22]

He was rolling[00:02:26]

As for me I think of nothing[00:03:15]

Any grander than the day[00:03:18]

That I stepped out on the drillin' floor[00:03:22]

To earn a roughneck's pay[00:03:26]

Then one night I swear I saw the devil[00:03:30]

Crawlin' from the hole[00:03:34]

And he spilled the guts of hell out in the Gulf of Mexico[00:03:37]

We were rolling[00:03:47]

We were rolling[00:03:51]

'Cross the blood red water[00:03:57]

We were rolling[00:04:01]
