[00:00.000] 作曲 : Willi Carlisle
[00:13.563]There is trouble in the darksome sky, he saw it as a boy
[00:18.915]From great-grandad's covered wagon, from the crux of Illinois
[00:23.895]For the promise of the daffodils amongst the hard limestone
[00:29.256]They carved the die of fortune out of buffalo bones
[00:35.371]They all wandered 'oer the salty seas, the prairies wide and more
[00:40.682]Just to make a foolish man like me that's darkenin' your door
[00:47.070]If the great depression made us, there is no need to despair
[00:53.513]I won't waste a single moment of the work that brought us here
[01:06.373]From the needle-prickin' mothers who were never taught to read
[01:11.777]To the barefoot, hungry soldiers that enlisted at sixteen
[01:16.671]Oh, in my dumb debasement, I still find great relief
[01:22.073]That on the lam, and on the dole, they counted themselves free
[01:28.165]I have hustled towards the overpass to sleep there in the rain
[01:33.369]I have settled with my pocketknife and carved out all their names
[01:39.896]If the great depression made us, there is no need to despair
[01:46.491]I won't waste a single moment of the work that brought me here
[02:14.323]From the jailhouse on the border, to the hold beneath the ship
[02:19.501]To the weed-fields out in Oregon, to the first night that we kissed
[02:24.409]From the dungeon of the coal mine, to the brightest factory floor
[02:29.542]To win our kin a better life is still worth dying for
[02:35.443]And I still cry my eyes out every time I dare to touch the spirit
[02:40.729]And if this is our small lot in life, I'll love it like I mean it
[02:47.035]Oh, the blood is strong with victory that brought us our despair
[02:53.273]I won't waste a single moment of the love that's buried here
[02:59.461]If the great depression made us, there's no need to despair
[03:06.346]I won't waste a single moment of the love that brought me here
