Nanci Griffith - "deadwood

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   
Well, the good times scratched a laugh

From the lungs of the young men

In a Deadwood saloon, South Dakota afternoon

And the old ones by the door with their heads to their chests

They told lies about whiskey on a woman's breath



Yes, and some tell the story of young Mickey Free

Who lost an eye to a buck deer in the Tongue River Valley

Oh and some tell the story of California Joe

Who sent word through the Black Hills

'There was a mountain of gold'



And the gold she lay cold in their pockets

And the sun she sets down on the trees

And they thank the Lord for the land that they live in

Where the white man does as he pleases



Some flat shoed fool from the East comes a runnin'

With some news that he'd read in some St. Joseph paper

And it was "Drinks all around" 'cause the news he was tellin'

Was the one they called Crazy

Had been caught and been dealt with



And the Easterner he read the news from the paper

And the old ones gathered closer so's they could hear better

"And it says here that Crazy Horse was killed

While he was trying to escape

And it was some time last September and it don't give the exact date"



And the gold she lay cold in their pockets

And the sun she sets down on the trees

And they thank the Lord for the land that they live in

Where the white man does as he pleases

Where the white man does as he pleases



Then the talk turned back to whiskey and women

And cold nights on the plains, Lord, and fightin' those Indians

And the Easterner he says he'll have one more 'fore he goes

He gives the paper to the Crow boy

Who sweeps up the floor



And the gold still lay cold in their pockets

And the sun still sets down on their trees

And they thank the Lord for the land that they live in

Where the white man does as he pleases

Where the white man does as he pleases

Where the white man does as he pleases

As he wants to, as he pleases
