[ti:Ballad Of Barbara] [ar:Johnny Cash] [al:Live From Austin Tx] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Ballad Of Barbara (Live) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什) [00:09.35]In a southern town where I was born [00:12.68] [00:13.85]That's where I got my education [00:16.86] [00:18.25]I worked in the fields and I walked in the woods [00:21.85] [00:22.78]And I wondered at creation [00:26.21] [00:27.29]I recall the sun in a sky of blue [00:30.56] [00:31.87]And the smell of green things growing [00:35.42] [00:36.40]And the seasons changed and I lived each day [00:39.75] [00:41.01]By the way the wind was blowing [00:44.55] [00:45.58]Then I heard of a cultured city life [00:48.83] [00:50.10]Breath taking lofty steeples [00:53.55] [00:54.62]And the day I called myself a man [00:57.97] [00:59.19]I left my land and my people [01:02.64] [01:03.61]And I rambled north and I rambled east [01:07.02] [01:08.14]And I tested and I tasted [01:11.56] [01:12.60]And a girl or two took me round and round [01:16.43] [01:17.11]But they always left me wasted [01:20.53] [01:21.64]In a world that's all concrete and steel [01:24.95] [01:26.22]With nothing green ever growing [01:29.69] [01:30.68]Where the buildings hide the rising sun [01:34.16] [01:35.21]And they blocked the free winds from blowing [01:38.46] [01:39.68]Where you sleep all day and you wake all night [01:43.20] [01:44.20]To a world of drink and laughter [01:47.71] [01:48.70]I met that girl that I was sure would be [01:52.40] [01:53.34]The one that I was after [01:57.46] [02:20.32]In a soft blue gown and formal tux [02:23.73] [02:24.93]Beneath that lofty steeple [02:28.51] [02:29.50]He said "Do you Barbara take this man [02:32.74] [02:34.02]Will you be one of his people " [02:37.49] [02:38.44]And she said "I will " and she said "I do " [02:42.98]And the world looked mighty pretty [02:46.42] [02:47.43]And we lived in a fancy downtown flat [02:50.91] [02:51.94]'Cause she loved the noisy city [02:55.37] [02:56.48]But the days grew cold beneath a yellow sky [02:59.89] [03:00.84]And I longed for green things growing [03:04.36] [03:05.47]And the thoughts of home and the people there [03:09.05] [03:10.06]But she'd not agreed to going [03:13.55] [03:14.53]Then her hazel eyes turned away from me [03:18.02] [03:19.07]With a look that wasn't pretty [03:22.42] [03:23.45]And she turned into concrete and steel [03:27.09] [03:28.06]And she said "I'll take the city " [03:32.51]Now the cars go by on the interstate [03:35.64] [03:36.94]And my pack is on my shoulder [03:40.31] [03:41.37]But I'm going home where I belong [03:44.48] [03:45.72]Much wiser now and older
