Ballad Of Barbara (Live) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)[00:00:00]
In a southern town where I was born[00:00:09]
That's where I got my education[00:00:13]
I worked in the fields and I walked in the woods[00:00:18]
And I wondered at creation [00:00:22]
I recall the sun in a sky of blue[00:00:27]
And the smell of green things growing[00:00:31]
And the seasons changed and I lived each day[00:00:36]
By the way the wind was blowing [00:00:41]
Then I heard of a cultured city life[00:00:45]
Breath taking lofty steeples[00:00:50]
And the day I called myself a man[00:00:54]
I left my land and my people [00:00:59]
And I rambled north and I rambled east[00:01:03]
And I tested and I tasted[00:01:08]
And a girl or two took me round and round[00:01:12]
But they always left me wasted [00:01:17]
In a world that's all concrete and steel[00:01:21]
With nothing green ever growing[00:01:26]
Where the buildings hide the rising sun[00:01:30]
And they blocked the free winds from blowing[00:01:35]
Where you sleep all day and you wake all night[00:01:39]
To a world of drink and laughter[00:01:44]
I met that girl that I was sure would be[00:01:48]
The one that I was after [00:01:53]
In a soft blue gown and formal tux[00:02:20]
Beneath that lofty steeple[00:02:24]
He said "Do you Barbara take this man [00:02:29]
Will you be one of his people "[00:02:34]
And she said "I will " and she said "I do "[00:02:38]
And the world looked mighty pretty[00:02:42]
And we lived in a fancy downtown flat[00:02:47]
'Cause she loved the noisy city [00:02:51]
But the days grew cold beneath a yellow sky[00:02:56]
And I longed for green things growing[00:03:00]
And the thoughts of home and the people there[00:03:05]
But she'd not agreed to going[00:03:10]
Then her hazel eyes turned away from me[00:03:14]
With a look that wasn't pretty[00:03:19]
And she turned into concrete and steel[00:03:23]
And she said "I'll take the city "[00:03:28]
Now the cars go by on the interstate[00:03:32]
And my pack is on my shoulder[00:03:36]
But I'm going home where I belong[00:03:41]
Much wiser now and older[00:03:45]
