[00:00.000] 作曲 : Bob Dylan
[00:14.55]There's an evenin' haze settlin' over town
[00:18.69]Starlight by the edge of the creek
[00:22.79]The buyin' power of the proletariat's gone down
[00:25.58]Money's gettin' shallow and weak
[00:29.09]Well, the place I love best is a sweet memory
[00:33.76]It's a new path that we trod
[00:36.57]They say low wages are a reality
[00:40.33]If we want to compete abroad
[00:44.13]My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf
[00:48.23]Come sit down on my knee
[00:51.44]You are dearer to me than myself
[00:55.30]As you yourself can see
[00:58.68]While I'm listening to the steel rails hum
[01:02.11]Got both eyes tight shut
[01:05.64]Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from
[01:09.90]Creeping its way into my gut
[01:13.79]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[01:17.25]Bring me my boots and shoes
[01:20.50]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[01:24.37]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[01:34.66]Well, I'm sailin' on back, ready for the long haul
[01:38.70]Tossed by the winds and the seas
[01:42.07]I'll drag 'em all down to hell and I'll stand 'em at the wall
[01:46.20]I'll sell 'em to their enemies
[01:49.54]I'm tryin' to feed my soul with thought
[01:53.38]Gonna sleep off the rest of the day
[01:56.98]Sometimes no one wants what we got
[02:00.99]Sometimes you can't give it away
[02:04.02]Now the place is ringed with countless foes
[02:07.98]Some of them may be deaf and dumb
[02:11.17]No man, no woman knows
[02:15.50]The hour that sorrow will come
[02:19.15]In the dark I hear the night birds call
[02:22.95]I can feel a lover's breath
[02:26.15]I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall
[02:30.06]Sleep is like a temporary death
[02:33.71]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[02:37.63]Bring me my boots and shoes
[02:40.92]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[02:44.92]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[02:55.09]Well, they burned my barn, and they stole my horse
[02:59.37]I can't save a dime
[03:02.66]I got to be careful, I don't want to be forced
[03:06.58]Into a life of continual crime
[03:09.89]I can see for myself that the sun is sinking
[03:13.81]How I wish you were here to see
[03:17.62]Tell me now, am I wrong in thinking
[03:21.83]That you have forgotten me?
[03:24.87]Now they worry and they hurry and they fuss and they fret
[03:28.59]They waste your nights and days
[03:32.03]Them I will forget
[03:35.93]But you I'll remember always
[03:39.60]Old memories of you to me have clung
[03:43.36]You've wounded me with your words
[03:46.85]Gonna have to straighten out your tongue
[03:50.55]It's all true, everything you've heard
[03:54.91]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[03:58.06]Bring me my boots and shoes
[04:01.26]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[04:05.17]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[04:16.00]In you, my friend, I find no blame
[04:19.85]Wanna look in my eyes, please do
[04:24.41]No one can ever claim
[04:27.52]That I took up arms against you
[04:30.42]All across the peaceful sacred fields
[04:34.58]They will lay you low
[04:38.66]They'll break your horns and slash you with steel
[04:42.46]I say it so it must be so
[04:45.37]Now I'm down on my luck and I'm black and blue
[04:48.67]Gonna give you another chance
[04:52.77]I'm all alone and I'm expecting you
[04:56.83]To lead me off in a cheerful dance
[05:00.21]I got a brand new suit and a brand new wife
[05:03.81]I can live on rice and beans
[05:07.42]Some people never worked a day in their life
[05:11.29]Don't know what work even means
[05:14.53]Well, meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[05:18.59]Bring me my boots and shoes
[05:21.94]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[05:25.89]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
