[00:00.47]Workingman's Blues # 2 - Chris Dylan
[00:01.19]Composed by：Bob Dylan
[00:16.98]There's an evening' haze settlin' over the town
[00:20.82]Starlight by the edge of the creek
[00:24.08]The buyin' power of the proletariat's gone down
[00:27.86]Money's gettin' shallow and weak
[00:30.95]Well the place I love best is a sweet memory
[00:34.93]It's a new path that we trod
[00:38.16]They say low wages are a reality
[00:41.61]If we want to compete abroad
[00:45.71]My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf
[00:49.32]Come sit down on my knee
[00:52.07]You are dearer to me than myself
[00:55.49]As you yourself can see
[00:59.07]I'm listening' to the steel rails hum
[01:03.01]Got both eyes tight shut
[01:05.85]Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from
[01:09.69]Creeping it's way into my gut
[01:13.36]Meet me at the bottom don't lag behind
[01:16.62]Bring me my boots and shoes
[01:19.8]You can hang back or fight your best on the front line
[01:23.5]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[01:33.68]Now I'm sailing' on back ready for the long haul
[01:37.45]Tossed by the winds and the seas
[01:41.33]I'll drag them all down to hell
[01:43.35]And I'll stand them at the wall
[01:45.39]I'll sell them to their enemies
[01:48.630005]I'm trying' to feed my soul with thought
[01:52.94]Gonna sleep off the rest of the day
[01:56.95]Sometimes no one wants what we got
[02:01.49]Sometimes you can't give it away
[02:06.69]Now the place is ringed with countless foes
[02:10.68]Some of them may be deaf and dumb
[02:15.12]No man no woman knows
[02:17.92]The hour that sorrow will come
[02:21.26]In the dark I hear the night birds call
[02:25.3]I can hear a lover's breath
[02:29.05]I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall
[02:32.58]Sleep is like a temporary death
[02:37.02]Meet me at the bottom don't lag behind
[02:40.43]Bring me my boots and shoes
[02:43.56]You can hang back or fight your best on the front line
[02:47.32]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[02:59.51]Well they burned my barn they stole my horse
[03:03.81]I can't save a dime
[03:07.21]I got to be careful I don't want to be forced
[03:10.57]Into a life of continual crime
[03:14.25]I can see for myself that the sun is sinking
[03:18.52]How I wish you were here to see
[03:22.84]Tell me now am I wrong in thinking
[03:26.05]That you have forgotten me
[03:30.33]Now they worry and they hurry and they fuss and they fret
[03:34.32]They waste your nights and days
[03:38.54001]Them all I will forget
[03:41.5]But you I'll remember always
[03:46.20999]Old memories of you to me have clung
[03:49.74]You've wounded me with words
[03:53.45999]Gonna have to straighten out your tongue
[03:57.84]It's all true everything you have heard
[04:02.69]Meet me at the bottom don't lag behind
[04:06.11]Bring me my boots and shoes
[04:09.26]You can hang back or fight your best on the front line
[04:12.96]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[04:24.67]In you my friend I find no blame
[04:28.45]Wanna look in my eyes please do
[04:32.28]No one can ever claim
[04:35.58002]That I took up arms against you
[04:39.16998]All across the peaceful sacred fields
[04:43.24]They will lay you low
[04:46.91]They'll break your horns and slash you with steel
[04:50.81]I say it so it must be so
[04:54.89]Now I'm down on my luck and I'm black and blue
[04:58.41998]Gonna give you another chance
[05:02.15]I'm all alone and I'm expecting you
[05:05.3]To lead me off in a cheerful dance
[05:09.44]I'm got a brand new suit and
[05:11.44]A brand new wife
[05:13.04]I can live on rice and beans
[05:17.25]Some people never worked a day in their life
[05:20.42]Don't know what work even means
[05:25.17]Well meet me at the bottom don't lag behind
[05:28.97]Bring me my boots and shoes
[05:32.06]You can hang back or fight your best on the front line
[05:35.82]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
