Utah Carroll - Arlo Guthrie (阿洛·古利)[00:00:00]

Written by：Arlo Guthrie[00:00:01]

So you ask me my kind friend[00:00:10]

Why I am sad and still[00:00:13]

And why my brow is darkened[00:00:17]

Like the clouds upon the hill[00:00:20]

Rein in your ponies closer[00:00:24]

And I'll tell you all a tale[00:00:27]

Of Utah Carroll partner[00:00:31]

And his last ride on the trail[00:00:35]

In a grave without a headstone[00:00:40]

Without a date or name[00:00:44]

My partner lies there silent[00:00:48]

In the land from which I came[00:00:51]

Long ago we rode together[00:00:55]

We'd ridden side by side[00:00:58]

I loved him like a brother[00:01:02]

And I wept when Utah died[00:01:05]

While riding up one morning[00:01:11]

And our work was almost done[00:01:14]

The cattle quickly started[00:01:19]

On a wild and maddening run[00:01:22]

The boss's little daughter[00:01:26]

Who was riding on that side[00:01:29]

Rushed in to stop the stampede[00:01:33]

It was there my partner died[00:01:36]

Lenore upon her pony[00:01:42]

Tried to turn the cattle right[00:01:46]

But her blanket slipped beneath her[00:01:49]

And she caught and held on tight[00:01:53]

When we all saw that red blanket[00:01:57]

Each cowboy held his breath[00:02:00]

For should her pony fail her[00:02:04]

None could save the girl from death[00:02:07]

When the cattle saw the blanket[00:02:13]

Almost dragging on the ground[00:02:17]

They were maddened in a moment[00:02:20]

And they charged with deafening sound[00:02:24]

The girl soon saw her danger[00:02:28]

And she turned her pony's face[00:02:31]

And bending in her saddle[00:02:35]

Tried the blanket to replace[00:02:38]

Just then she lost her balance[00:02:44]

In the front of that wild tide[00:02:47]

Carroll's voice controlled the round up[00:02:51]

Lie still Lenore he cried[00:02:55]

And then close up beside her[00:02:59]

Came Utah riding fast[00:03:02]

Little did the poor boy know[00:03:06]

The ride would be his last[00:03:09]

Full often from the saddle[00:03:15]

He had caught the trailing rope[00:03:18]

To pick her up at full speed[00:03:22]

Was now his only hope[00:03:26]

He swung low from his saddle[00:03:30]

To take her to his arm[00:03:33]

We thought that he'd succeeded[00:03:37]

That the girl was safe from harm[00:03:40]

But such a strain upon his saddle[00:03:46]

Had ne'er been put before[00:03:50]

And the cinches gave beneath him[00:03:53]

And he fell beside Lenore[00:03:56]

When the girl fell from her saddle[00:04:00]

She had dragged the blanket down[00:04:04]

It lay there close beside them[00:04:08]

Where they lay upon the ground[00:04:11]

Utah took the blanket[00:04:17]

And to Lenore he said[00:04:21]

Lie still and quickly running[00:04:24]

Waved the red thing o'er his head[00:04:27]

He turned the maddened cattle[00:04:32]

From Lenore his little friend[00:04:35]

And as the mighty herd rushed toward him[00:04:38]

He turned to met his end[00:04:42]

And as the herd came on him[00:04:48]

His weapon quickly drew[00:04:51]

He was bound to die defended[00:04:55]

As all brave cowboys do[00:04:59]

The weapon flashed like lightning[00:05:02]

And it sounded loud and clear[00:05:05]

As the cattle rushed and killed him[00:05:09]

He dropped the leading steer[00:05:13]

When I broke through that wide circle[00:05:18]

To where poor Utah lay[00:05:22]

With a thousand wounds and bruises[00:05:26]

His life blood ebbed away[00:05:30]

I knelt down close beside him[00:05:33]

And I knew that all was o'er[00:05:36]

As I heard him faintly whisper[00:05:40]

Good-bye my sweet Lenore[00:05:44]

Next morning at the churchyard[00:05:50]

I heard the preacher say[00:05:53]

Don't think our kind friend Utah[00:05:57]

Was lost on that great day[00:06:00]

He was a much-loved cowboy[00:06:04]

And not afraid to die[00:06:08]

And we'll meet him at the round up[00:06:11]

On the plains beyond the sky[00:06:15]

So you ask me my kind friend[00:06:21]

Why I am sad and still[00:06:24]

And why my brow is darkened[00:06:28]

Like the clouds upon the hill[00:06:31]

Rein in your ponies closer[00:06:35]

And I'll tell you all a tale[00:06:38]

Of Utah Carroll partner[00:06:42]

And his last ride on the trail[00:06:46]
