[ti:Oh, Bury Me Not (Introduct] [ar:Johnny Cash] [al:American Recordings] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.53]Oh, Bury Me Not (Introduction: A Cowboy's Prayer) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什) [00:08.17][Recitation:] Lord I've never lived where churches grow I loved creation better as [00:16.58]It stood That day you finished it so long ago And looked upon your work and [00:26.27]Called it good I know that others find you in the light That sifted down through [00:34.29]Tinted window panes And yet I seem to feel you near tonight In this dim quiet [00:43.21]Starlight on the plains I thank you Lord that I'm placed so well That you've made [00:53.88]My freedom so complete That I'm no slave to whistle clock or bell Nor weak eyed [01:03.12]Prisoner of Waller Street Just let me live my life as I've begun And give me work [01:12.07]That's open to the sky Make me a partner of the wind and sun And I won't ask a [01:21.24]Life that's soft or high Let me be easy on the man that's down Let me be square [01:30.04]And generous with all I'm careless sometimes Lord when I'm in town But never [01:38.29]Let them say I'm mean or small Make me as big and open as the plains And [01:46.96]Honest as the horse between my knees Clean as a wind that blows behind the [01:53.45]Rains Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze Forgive me Lord if [02:01.15]Sometimes I forget You know about the reasons that are hid You understand the [02:09.72]Things that gall or fret Well you knew me better than my mother did Just keep an [02:18.59]Eye on all that's done or said And right me [02:23.07]Sometimes when I turn aside And guide me on that long dim trail ahead That [02:31.19]Stretched upward toward the great divide [02:36.37]Oh bury me not on the lone prairie These words came low and mournfully From [02:54.78]The pallid lips of a youth who lay On his dying bed at the close of day [03:12.06]Oh bury me not and his voice failed there But we took no heed to his dying [03:27.04]Prayer In a shallow grave just six by three We buried him there on the lone prairie
