Spanish Johnny (2007 Remastered LP Version) - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)[00:00:00]
Written by:Paul Siebel/Sean Gagnier[00:00:02]
Those other years the dusty years[00:00:07]
We drove the big hers through[00:00:11]
I tried to forget the miles we rode[00:00:16]
And Spanish johnny too[00:00:19]
He'd sit beside a water ditch when all this herd was in[00:00:24]
And he'd never harm a child but sing to his mandolin[00:00:33]
The old talk the old ways and the dealing of our game[00:00:43]
But Spanish Johnny never spoke but sing a song of Spain[00:00:51]
And his talk with men was vicious talk[00:01:00]
When he was drunk on gin[00:01:03]
Ah but those were golden things he change to his mandolin[00:01:09]
And we had to stand we tried to judge we had to stop him then[00:01:56]
For the hand so gentle to a child had killed so many men[00:02:04]
He died a hard death long ago before the road come in[00:02:13]
And the night before he swung he sung to his mandolin[00:02:22]
Well we carried him out in the morning sun[00:02:30]
A man that done no good[00:02:34]
And we lowered him down in the cold clay[00:02:39]
Stuck in a cross of wood[00:02:43]
And a letter we wrote to his kinfolk[00:02:48]
To tell them where he'd been[00:02:52]
And we shipped it out to Mexico along with his mandolin[00:02:57]
