歌手:Bob Dylan  |  专辑:《Ice Palace St. Petersburg, Russia June 3, 2008》  | 

[07:05.00]作曲 : Dylan

[07:05.00]作词 : Dylan

[07:05.00]There's an evenin' haze settlin' over the town

[07:05.00]Starlight by the edge of the creek

[07:05.00]The buyin' power of the proletariat's gone down

[07:05.00]Money's gettin' shallow and weak

[07:05.00]The place I love best is a sweet memory

[07:05.00]It's a new path that we trod

[07:05.00]They say low wages are a reality

[07:05.00]If we want to compete abroad

[07:05.00]My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf

[07:05.00]Come sit down on my knee

[07:05.00]You are dearer to me than myself

[07:05.00]As you yourself can see

[07:05.00]I'm listenin' to the steel rails hum

[07:05.00]Got both eyes tight shut

[07:05.00]Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from

[07:05.00]Creeping it's way into my gut

[07:05.00]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind

[07:05.00]Bring me my boots and shoes

[07:05.00]You can hang back or fight your best on the front line

[07:05.00]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

[07:05.00]Now, I'm sailin' on back, ready for the long haul

[07:05.00]Tossed by the winds and the seas

[07:05.00]I'll drag ‘em all down to hell and I'll stand ‘em at the wall

[07:05.00]I'll sell ‘em to their enemies

[07:05.00]I'm tryin' to feed my soul with thought

[07:05.00]Gonna sleep off the rest of the day

[07:05.00]Sometimes no one wants what we got

[07:05.00]Sometimes you can't give it away

[07:05.00]Now the place is ringed with countless foes

[07:05.00]Some of them may be deaf and dumb

[07:05.00]No man, no woman knows

[07:05.00]The hour that sorrow will come

[07:05.00]In the dark I hear the night birds call

[07:05.00]I can hear a lover's breath

[07:05.00]I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall

[07:05.00]Sleep is like a temporary death

[07:05.00]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind

[07:05.00]Bring me my boots and shoes

[07:05.00]You can hang back or fight your best on the front line

[07:05.00]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

[07:05.00]Well, they burned my barn, they stole my horse

[07:05.00]I can't save a dime

[07:05.00]I got to be careful, I don't want to be forced

[07:05.00]Into a life of continual crime

[07:05.00]I can see for myself that the sun is sinking

[07:05.00]How I wish you were here to see

[07:05.00]Tell me now, am I wrong in thinking

[07:05.00]That you have forgotten me?

[07:05.00]Now they worry and they hurry and they fuss and they fret

[07:05.00]They waste your nights and days

[07:05.00]Them I will forget

[07:05.00]But you I'll remember always

[07:05.00]Old memories of you to me have clung

[07:05.00]You've wounded me with words

[07:05.00]Gonna have to straighten out your tongue

[07:05.00]It's all true, everything you have heard

[07:05.00]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind

[07:05.00]Bring me my boots and shoes

[07:05.00]You can hang back or fight your best on the front line

[07:05.00]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

[07:05.00]In you, my friend, I find no blame

[07:05.00]Wanna look in my eyes, please do

[07:05.00]No one can ever claim

[07:05.00]That I took up arms against you

[07:05.00]All across the peaceful sacred fields

[07:05.00]They will lay you low

[07:05.00]They'll break your horns and slash you with steel

[07:05.00]I say it so it must be so

[07:05.00]Now I'm down on my luck and I'm black and blue

[07:05.00]Gonna give you another chance

[07:05.00]I'm all alone and I'm expecting you

[07:05.00]To lead me off in a cheerful dance

[07:05.00]Got a brand new suit and a brand new wife

[07:05.00]I can live on rice and beans

[07:05.00]Some people never worked a day in their life

[07:05.00]Don't know what work even means

[07:05.00]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind

[07:05.00]Bring me my boots and shoes

[07:05.00]You can hang back or fight your best on the front line

[07:05.00]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
