Let Him Roll (Live) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)[00:00:00]
Let him roll boys let him roll[00:00:14]
I bet he's gone to dallas rest his soul[00:00:22]
Now he was a wino tried and true[00:00:29]
Done about everything a man can do[00:00:32]
He worked on freighters he worked in cars[00:00:36]
He worked on farms 'n he worked on bars[00:00:39]
His white port whine that put that look in his eye[00:00:44]
That grown men get when they need to cry[00:00:48]
And we sat down on the curb to rest[00:00:51]
And his head just fell down on his chest[00:00:55]
And he said every single day it gets[00:00:59]
Just a little bit harder to handle and yet[00:01:02]
Then he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered[00:01:07]
The words just rolled off down in the gutter[00:01:10]
He was a elevator man in a cheap hotel[00:01:15]
In exchange for the rent on a one room cell[00:01:19]
And he's years old before his time[00:01:22]
No thanks to the world and the white port wine[00:01:26]
And he said son he always called me son[00:01:31]
He said life for you has just begun[00:01:34]
And then he told me the story that I heard before[00:01:38]
How he fell in love with a dallas whore[00:01:41]
He could cut through the years to the very night[00:01:47]
That it all ended in a whore house fight[00:01:50]
And she turned his last proposal down[00:01:54]
In favor of being a girl about town[00:01:58]
Now it's been seventeen years right in line[00:02:02]
And he ain't been straight none of the time[00:02:06]
And It's too many years of fighting the weather[00:02:10]
And too many nights of not being together[00:02:14]
So he died[00:02:17]
Let him roll boys let him roll[00:02:20]
I bet he's gone to dallas rest his soul[00:02:27]
Let him roll boys let him roll[00:02:34]
He always thought that heaven[00:02:42]
Was just a dallas whore[00:02:45]
When they went through his personal affects[00:02:51]
In among the stubs from the welfare checks[00:02:54]
Was a crumbling picture of a girl in a door[00:02:58]
An address in dallas and nothing more[00:03:01]
Well the welfare people provided the priest[00:03:06]
And a couple from the mission down the street[00:03:10]
Sang amasing grace and nobody cried[00:03:13]
'Cept some lady in black way off to the side[00:03:17]
We all left and she's standing there[00:03:22]
The black veil covering her silver hair[00:03:26]
And one-eyed john said her name was alice[00:03:29]
She used to be a whore in dallas[00:03:33]
Let him roll boys let him roll[00:03:37]
I bet he's gone to dallas rest his soul[00:03:45]
Let him roll boys let him roll[00:03:51]
He always thought that heaven[00:03:59]
Was just a dallas whore[00:04:03]
Let him roll boys let him roll[00:04:06]
I bet he's gone to dallas rest his soul[00:04:13]
Let him roll[00:04:20]
Let him roll[00:04:22]
Boys let him roll[00:04:23]
He always thought that heaven[00:04:28]
Was just a dallas whore[00:04:31]
