My Old Man (LP Version) - Jerry Jeff Walker (杰里·杰夫·沃克)[00:00:00]
My old man had a rounder soul[00:00:29]
He'd hear an ol' freight train and he'd have to go[00:00:35]
Said he'd been blessed with a gypsy bone[00:00:42]
And that's the reason[00:00:49]
I guess that he'd been cursed to roam[00:00:51]
Came to town back before the war[00:00:56]
Didn't even know what it was he was lookin' for[00:01:01]
He carried a tattered bag for his violin[00:01:09]
Full of lots of songs of the places he had been[00:01:15]
He talked real easy and he smiled and waved[00:01:23]
He could pass along to you when his fiddle played[00:01:29]
Makin' people drop their cares and woes[00:01:36]
And hum out loud the tunes that his fiddle bowed[00:01:43]
Til the people there began to join that sound[00:01:49]
And ev'ryone in town was laughin' singin' dancin' 'round[00:01:56]
Like the Fiddler's tunes we all there heard that night[00:02:03]
Like some dream that says all the world is right[00:02:10]
The Fiddler's eye caught a beauty there[00:02:31]
She had that rollin' flowin' golden kind of hair[00:02:37]
He played for her as if she danced alone[00:02:44]
He played his favorite songs[00:02:51]
The ones he called his own[00:02:54]
She alone was dancin' in the room[00:02:58]
The only thing left movin' to that Fiddler's tune[00:03:04]
He played until she was the last to go[00:03:39]
The he stopped and packed his case[00:03:45]
Said he'd take her home[00:03:48]
In all the nights that passed a child was born[00:03:52]
In all the years that passed[00:03:59]
Love would keep them warm[00:04:03]
And all their lives they'd share[00:04:06]
That dream come true[00:04:09]
And all because she danced so well[00:04:13]
His fiddler tune[00:04:16]
The train next mornin' blew a lonesome sound[00:04:34]
As if she sang the blues of what she took from town[00:04:40]
And all that I recall that was said when I was young[00:04:48]
There's no one else could really sing those songs he sung[00:04:54]
