21 Years - Carl Perkins (卡尔·帕金斯)[00:00:01]
Written by:Carl Perkins[00:00:05]
Now y'was just a young fellah Son[00:00:16]
The night your poor Mama died[00:00:20]
And you don't remember it now[00:00:23]
Why we was both right there by Mama's side[00:00:25]
Ya see your Ma had this sickness Boy[00:00:30]
From all the hard work she'd done[00:00:34]
And she prayed all of her life[00:00:38]
That God would let her raise her baby to be twenty-one[00:00:41]
Aw me and you never moved into town Boy[00:00:47]
We just kept on livin' out here[00:00:51]
And life's been pretty bad[00:00:54]
For the past twenty-one years[00:00:57]
Aw I remember now when you was a little fellah[00:01:01]
And I used to take my boy to church[00:01:06]
And I seen you in the choir with them other young'uns[00:01:10]
And it gave this heart a jerk[00:01:13]
Ah you sounded like a little bitty angel Boy[00:01:17]
And to Papa you sure did look sweet[00:01:22]
Even though your little ragged britches[00:01:27]
They came half-way to your skinny little knees[00:01:30]
After the service was all over[00:01:35]
Aw it always filled your Papa's heart with joy[00:01:39]
The good Preacher'd step down[00:01:43]
And he'd pat your little head and then he'd say[00:01:44]
Carlin you've got yourself a fine little boy[00:01:49]
Then me and you'd get in the wagon Child[00:01:56]
And you'd look over towards me[00:01:59]
And you know you just smiled an'[00:02:01]
Why I'd hand you the lines[00:02:03]
And I'd let you drive for a little while[00:02:07]
Oh I guess life has been tough[00:02:11]
For me and for you too Son[00:02:14]
And I know tonight that I've prayed all of my life[00:02:19]
That I could raise my baby to be twenty-one[00:02:24]
So tonight Son[00:02:28]
Livin' the life down here is about over[00:02:31]
And my work's on earth about done[00:02:35]
Maybe now I'll get to go see the Lord[00:02:39]
And to live with your Mama[00:02:42]
Aw thank you Lord[00:02:46]
'Cause tonight my baby is twenty-one[00:02:49]
Precious sacred scenes untold[00:03:04]
