North Country Blues (北方乡村布鲁斯) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)[00:00:00]

Come gather round friends[00:00:04]

And Ill tell you a tale Of when the red iron pits ran plenty [00:00:06]

But the cardboard filled windows[00:00:15]

And old men on the benches[00:00:18]

Tell you now that the whole town is empty [00:00:22]

In the north end of town [00:00:30]

My own children are grown[00:00:32]

But I was raised on the other [00:00:36]

In the wee hours of youth [00:00:42]

My mother took sick[00:00:45]

And I was brought up by my brother [00:00:49]

The iron ore poured As the years passed the door [00:00:53]

The drag lines an the shovels they was a-humming til one day my brother[00:01:02]

Failed to come home[00:01:11]

The same as my father before him [00:01:14]

Well a long winters wait [00:01:21]

From the window I watched [00:01:24]

My friends they couldn't have been kinder [00:01:28]

And my schooling was cut[00:01:33]

As I quit in the spring[00:01:35]

To marry john thomas a miner [00:01:40]

Oh the years passed again[00:01:48]

And the givin was good [00:01:50]

With the lunch bucket filled every season [00:01:54]

What with three babies born [00:02:01]

The work was cut down[00:02:03]

To a half a days shift with no reason [00:02:08]

Then the shaft was soon shut[00:02:14]

And more work was cut [00:02:16]

And the fire in the air it felt frozen til a man come to speak[00:02:20]

And he said in one week[00:02:29]

That number eleven was closin [00:02:33]

They complained in the east [00:02:42]

They are paying too high [00:02:44]

They say that your ore ain't worth digging [00:02:48]

That its much cheaper down[00:02:55]

In the south american towns[00:02:57]

Where the miners work almost for nothing [00:03:02]

So the mining gates locked[00:03:10]

And the red iron rotted[00:03:12]

And the room smelled heavy from drinking [00:03:17]

Where the sad silent song[00:03:23]

Made the hour twice as long[00:03:25]

As I waited for the sun to go sinking[00:03:30]

I lived by the window[00:03:36]

As he talked to himself [00:03:38]

This silence of tongues it was building [00:03:43]

Then one mornings wake [00:03:46]

The bed it was bare [00:03:52]

The summer is gone [00:03:56]

The grounds turning cold [00:04:05]

The stores one by one theyre a-foldin [00:04:09]

My children will go[00:04:12]

As soon as they grow [00:04:18]

Well there ain't nothing here now to hold them[00:04:22]
