The Unwelcome Guest (LP Version)歌词

[00:00.000] 作词 : Woody Guthrie
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Billy Bragg
[00:08.07]To the rich man's bright lodges
[00:11.33]
[00:12.02]I ride in this wind
[00:15.19]
[00:15.70]On my good horse I call you
[00:19.39]
[00:19.95]My shiny black Bess
[00:23.02]
[00:23.69]To the playhouse of fortune
[00:26.91]
[00:27.65]To take the bright silver
[00:31.04]
[00:31.65]And gold you have taken
[00:34.66]
[00:35.47]From somebody else
[00:38.91]
[00:39.58]And as we go riding
[00:42.37]
[00:43.05]In the damp foggy midnight
[00:47.33]You snort my good pony
[00:50.27]
[00:50.79]And you give me your best
[00:54.31]
[00:54.85]For you know and I know
[00:58.05]
[00:58.77]Good horse 'mongst the rich ones
[01:02.57]How oftimes we go there
[01:06.52]An unwelcome guest
[01:10.90]
[01:18.14]I never took food
[01:20.78]
[01:21.47]From the widows and orphans
[01:25.74]And never a hardworking man I oppressed
[01:32.44]
[01:33.31]So take your pace easy
[01:36.42]
[01:37.39]For home soon like lightning
[01:40.73]
[01:41.28]We soon will be riding
[01:44.63]My shiny black Bess
[01:48.22]
[01:48.93]No fat rich man's pony
[01:51.91]
[01:52.61]Can ever overtake you
[01:55.49]
[01:56.74]And there's not a rider
[01:59.27]
[01:59.96]From the east to the west
[02:03.04]
[02:04.45]Could hold you a light
[02:07.22]
[02:07.77]In this dark mist and midnight
[02:11.68]When the potbellied thieves
[02:14.22]
[02:14.85]Chase the unwelcome guest
[02:19.41]
[02:27.53]I don't know good horse
[02:29.31]
[02:30.41]As we trot in this dark here
[02:33.91]
[02:34.64]That robbing the rich
[02:36.94]
[02:37.83]Is for worse or for best
[02:41.01]
[02:41.96]They take it by stealing
[02:44.83]
[02:45.61]And lying and gambling
[02:48.62]
[02:49.47]And I take it my way
[02:53.24]My shiny Black Bess
[02:56.51]
[02:57.08]I treat horses good
[02:59.50]
[03:00.20]And I'm friendly to strangers
[03:04.05]
[03:04.70]I ride and your running
[03:07.83]Makes my guns talk the best
[03:11.27]
[03:12.12]And the rangers and deputies
[03:15.25]
[03:15.91]Are hired by the rich man
[03:19.96]To catch me and hang me
[03:22.89]
[03:23.53]My shining black Bess
[03:27.85]
[03:57.28]Yes they'll catch me napping one day
[04:02.76]And they'll kill me
[04:04.58]
[04:06.26]And then I'll be gone
[04:07.85]
[04:08.67]But that won't be my end
[04:12.22]For my guns and my saddle
[04:15.65]
[04:16.51]Will always be filled
[04:20.32]By unwelcome travelers
[04:24.17]And other brave men
[04:27.49]
[04:28.21]And they'll take the money
[04:30.83]
[04:31.53]And spread it out equal
[04:35.92]Just like the Bible
[04:39.01]And the prophets suggest
[04:42.07]
[04:43.10]But men that go riding
[04:46.26]
[04:46.77]To help these poor workers
[04:50.59]The rich will cut down
[04:54.17]Like an unwelcome guest
