Lou Marsh (LP版) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)[00:00:00]

On the streets of New York city[00:00:18]

When the hour was getting late[00:00:21]

There were young men armed with knives and guns [00:00:25]

Young men armed with hate[00:00:28]

And Lou Marsh stepped[00:00:31]

Between them and died there in his tracks[00:00:33]

For one man is no army[00:00:38]

When the city turns its back[00:00:42]

Now the streets are empty [00:00:45]

Now the streets are dark[00:00:49]

So keep an eye on shadows[00:00:52]

And never pass the park[00:00:55]

For the city is a jungle[00:00:58]

When the law is out of sight[00:01:02]

And death lurks in El Barrio[00:01:05]

With the orphans of the night[00:01:08]

He left behind a chamber of a church[00:01:15]

He served so long[00:01:19]

For he learned the prayers of distant[00:01:21]

Men will never right the wrongs[00:01:24]

His church became an alley[00:01:28]

And his pulpit was the street[00:01:31]

He made his congregation[00:01:35]

From the boys he used to meet[00:01:38]

Now the streets are empty [00:01:41]

Now the streets are dark[00:01:45]

So keep an eye on shadows[00:01:48]

And never pass the park[00:01:51]

For the city is a jungle[00:01:54]

When the law is out of sight[00:01:58]

And death lurks in El Barrio[00:02:01]

With the orphans of the night[00:02:05]

There were two gangs approaching[00:02:11]

In spanish Harlem town[00:02:15]

The smell of blood was in the air [00:02:18]

The challenge was laid down[00:02:21]

He felt their blinding hatred [00:02:25]

And he tried to save their lives[00:02:28]

And the answer[00:02:31]

That they gave him was their fists[00:02:32]

And feet and knives[00:02:36]

Now the streets are empty [00:02:38]

Now the streets are dark[00:02:42]

So keep an eye on shadows[00:02:45]

And never pass the park[00:02:48]

For the city is a jungle[00:02:51]

When the law is out of sight[00:02:55]

And death lurks in El Barrio[00:02:58]

With the orphans of the night[00:03:01]

Will Lou Marsh lie forgotten[00:03:07]

In his cold and silent grave [00:03:10]

Will his memory still linger on [00:03:13]

In those he tried to save [00:03:16]

All of us who knew him will now and then recall[00:03:20]

And shed a tear on poverty [00:03:26]

Tombstone of us all[00:03:30]

Now the streets are empty [00:03:33]

Now the streets are dark[00:03:37]

So keep an eye on shadows[00:03:40]

And never pass the park[00:03:43]

For the city is a jungle[00:03:46]

When the law is out of sight[00:03:49]

And death lurks in El Barrio[00:03:53]

With the orphans of the night[00:03:56]
