The Ballad of Barbara - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)[00:00:00]

Written by：Johnny Cash[00:00:02]

In a southern town[00:00:20]

Where I was born[00:00:22]

That's where I got[00:00:24]

My education[00:00:27]

I worked in the fields[00:00:29]

And I walked in the woods[00:00:32]

And I wondered at creation[00:00:34]

I recall the sun[00:00:39]

In a sky of blue[00:00:41]

And the smell of green things growin'[00:00:44]

And the seasons chang'd[00:00:49]

And I lived each day[00:00:51]

Just the way the wind was blowin'[00:00:53]

And I heard of a cultured city life[00:00:58]

Breath takin' lofty steeples[00:01:03]

And the day I called myself a man[00:01:08]

I left my land and my people[00:01:13]

And I rambled north[00:01:18]

And I rambled east[00:01:20]

And I tested and I tasted[00:01:22]

And a girl or two took me round and round[00:01:27]

And always left me wasted[00:01:32]

In a world that's all[00:01:37]

Concrete and steel[00:01:39]

With nothin' green ever growin'[00:01:41]

Where the buildings hide[00:01:46]

The risin' sun[00:01:49]

And blocked the free winds blowin[00:01:51]

Where you sleep by day[00:01:56]

And you wake by night[00:01:58]

To a world of drink[00:02:01]

And laughter[00:02:04]

I met a girl[00:02:06]

That I was sure would be[00:02:08]

The one that I was after[00:02:11]

In a soft blue gown[00:02:15]

And a formal tux[00:02:18]

Beneath that lofty steeple[00:02:20]

He said do you Barbara take this man[00:02:25]

And will you be one of his people[00:02:30]

Then she said I do[00:02:35]

And she said I will[00:02:37]

And the world looked mighty pretty[00:02:40]

And we lived in a fancy downtown flat[00:02:44]

'Cause she loved the noisy city[00:02:49]

But the days grew cold[00:02:54]

Beneath a yellow sky[00:02:56]

And I longed for green things growin'[00:02:59]

And the thoughts of home[00:03:04]

And the people there[00:03:06]

But she'd not agreed to goin'[00:03:09]

Then her hazel eyes[00:03:13]

Turned away from me[00:03:16]

With a look that wasn't pretty[00:03:18]

And she turned into[00:03:23]

Concrete and steel[00:03:26]

And she said I'll take[00:03:28]

The city[00:03:31]

And the cars go by[00:03:33]

On the interstate[00:03:35]

And my pack is on my shoulder[00:03:37]

And I'm goin' home where I belong[00:03:42]

Much wiser now[00:03:47]

And older[00:03:51]
