The Fate Of Dewey Lee - The Carter Family (卡特家族)[00:00:00]

'Twas on one Saturday evening about the hour of ten[00:00:04]

In a little mining town where trouble did begin[00:00:10]

Everybody there were drinking[00:00:15]

There were whisky everywhere[00:00:18]

Dewey Lee got to thinking he had no business there[00:00:20]

He was so tall and handsome[00:00:49]

His heart so true and brave[00:00:51]

Joe Jenkins pulled his pistol and sent him to his grave[00:00:54]

He took the life of Dewey when life had just begin[00:01:00]

And Dewey went to heaven while Joe went to the pen[00:01:05]

He took the life of Dewey[00:01:33]

Because he would not tell[00:01:35]

We know he murdered Dewey for here his pistol fell[00:01:38]

His mother sits now weeping[00:01:43]

She weeps and mourns all day[00:01:46]

She prays to meet her boy in a better world some day[00:01:49]

So hearken to my story and what I have to say[00:02:06]

Get right with your maker[00:02:12]

We'll meet him again some day[00:02:14]

But first to Stand up boy and listen to your crime[00:02:17]

They sent him down to Richmond to serve out his time[00:02:22]

Young men all take warning[00:02:40]

For this you must have guilt[00:02:42]

Don't take the life of anyone for life you cannot give[00:02:45]

You may possess great riches like many beneath the sod[00:02:50]

But money won't hire a lawyer[00:02:55]

When you stand before your God[00:02:58]
