Workingman's Blues #2 - Bob Dylan

Workingman's Blues #2 LRC歌词

[00:15.23]There's an evening haze settling over town

[00:18.90]Starlight by the edge of the creek

[00:22.46]The buying power of the proletariat's gone down

[00:26.35]Money's getting shallow and weak

[00:29.61]The place I love best is a sweet memory

[00:33.13]It's a new path that we trod

[00:36.77]They say low wages are a reality

[00:39.35]If we want to compete abroad

[00:44.40]My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf

[00:48.07]Come sit down on my knee

[00:51.62]You are dearer to me than myself

[00:55.14]As you yourself can see

[00:58.76]While I'm listening to the steel rails hum

[01:02.50]Got both eyes tight shut

[01:06.09]Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from

[01:09.77]Creeping its way into my gut

[01:13.49]

[01:14.05]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind

[01:17.12]Bring me my boots and shoes

[01:20.81]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline

[01:24.28]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

[01:27.60]

[01:35.65]I'm sailing on back, ready for the long haul

[01:38.98]Tossed by the winds and the seas

[01:42.41]I'll drag them all down to hell and I'll stand them at the wall

[01:46.30]I'll sell them to their enemies

[01:49.80]I'm trying to feed my soul with thought

[01:53.55]Going to sleep off the rest of the day

[01:57.18]Sometimes no one wants what we got

[02:00.79]Sometimes you can't give it away

[02:04.44]Now the place is ringed with countless foes

[02:08.12]Some of them may be deaf and dumb

[02:11.40]No man, no woman knows

[02:15.44]The hour that sorrow will come

[02:19.14]In the dark I hear the night birds call

[02:22.79]I can feel a lover's breath

[02:26.32]I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall

[02:30.30]Sleep is like a temporary death

[02:33.97]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind

[02:36.69]Bring me my boots and shoes

[02:41.26]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline

[02:44.93]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

[02:50.05]

[02:56.68]They burned my barn, and they stole my horse

[03:00.03]I can't save a dime

[03:03.84]I got to be careful, I don't want to be forced

[03:07.30]Into a life of continual crime

[03:10.75]I can see for myself that the sun is sinking

[03:14.46]How I wish you were here to see

[03:18.43]Tell me now, am I wrong in thinking

[03:22.43]That you have forgotten me?

[03:25.69]Now they worry and they hurry and they fuss and they fret

[03:29.02]They waste your nights and days

[03:32.48]Them I will forget

[03:35.99]But you I'll remember always

[03:39.04]Old memories of you to me have clung

[03:43.43]You've wounded me with your words

[03:47.22]Gonna have to straighten out your tongue

[03:51.59]It's all true, everything you've heard

[03:55.42]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind

[03:58.28]Bring me my boots and shoes

[04:01.72]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline

[04:05.61]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

[04:13.04]

[04:16.87]In you, my friend, I find no blame

[04:19.95]Wanna look in my eyes, please do

[04:24.00]No one can ever claim

[04:27.61]That I took up arms against you

[04:31.24]All across the peaceful sacred fields

[04:34.79]They will lay you low

[04:38.67]They'll break your horns and slash you with steel

[04:42.39]I say it so it must be so

[04:46.10]Now I'm down on my luck and I'm black and blue

[04:50.37]Gonna give you another chance

[04:53.36]I'm all alone and I'm expecting you

[04:56.69]To lead me off in a cheerful dance

[05:00.42]I got a brand new suit and a brand new wife

[05:04.03]I can live on rice and beans

[05:07.58]Some people never worked a day in their life

[05:11.57]Don't know what work even means.

[05:15.01]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind

[05:18.80]Bring me my boots and shoes

[05:22.35]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline

[05:26.23]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

[05:35.33]
