Deadwood (朽木) - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)[00:00:00]
Well the good times scratched a laugh[00:00:44]
From the lungs of the young men[00:00:47]
In a Deadwood saloon [00:00:50]
South Dakota afternoon[00:00:52]
And the old ones by the door[00:00:56]
With their heads to their chests[00:00:58]
They told lies about whiskey[00:01:01]
On a woman's breath[00:01:04]
Yes and some tell the story[00:01:09]
Of young Mickey Free[00:01:12]
Who lost an eye to a buck deer[00:01:15]
In the Tongue River Valley[00:01:18]
Oh and some tell the story of California Joe[00:01:21]
Who sent word through the Black Hills[00:01:26]
'There was a mountain of gold'[00:01:29]
And the gold she lay cold in their pockets[00:01:34]
And the sun she sets down on the trees[00:01:40]
And they thank the Lord for[00:01:46]
The land that they live in[00:01:48]
Where the white man does as he pleases[00:01:51]
Some flat shoed fool from the[00:02:03]
East comes a runnin'[00:02:06]
With some news that he'd read[00:02:08]
In some St Joseph paper[00:02:11]
And it was "Drinks all around"[00:02:13]
Cause the news he was tellin'[00:02:17]
Was the one they called Crazy[00:02:19]
Had been caught and been dealt with[00:02:22]
And the Easterner he read the[00:02:28]
News from the paper[00:02:29]
And the old ones gathered closer[00:02:33]
So's they could hear better[00:02:35]
"And it says here that Crazy Horse was killed[00:02:39]
While he was trying to escape[00:02:41]
And it was some time last September and[00:02:44]
It don't give the exact date"[00:02:47]
And the gold she lay cold in their pockets[00:02:53]
And the sun she sets down on the trees[00:02:59]
And they thank the Lord[00:03:04]
For the land that they live in[00:03:06]
Where the white man does as he pleases[00:03:10]
Where the white man does as he pleases[00:03:15]
Then the talk turned back to whiskey and women[00:03:44]
And cold nights on the plains Lord [00:03:49]
And fightin' those Indians[00:03:52]
And the Easterner he says[00:03:55]
He'll have one more 'fore he goes[00:03:56]
He gives the paper to the Crow boy[00:04:00]
Who sweeps up the floor[00:04:03]
And the gold still lay cold in their pockets[00:04:08]
And the sun still sets down on their trees[00:04:14]
And they thank the Lord for the land that they live in[00:04:20]
Where the white man does as he pleases[00:04:25]
Where the white man does as he pleases[00:04:31]
Where the white man does as he pleases[00:04:36]
As he wants to as he pleases[00:04:41]
