John Ed Ballentine歌词完整版
They rode the steam train till she run out of track
Last stop St. Louis no turning back
With nothing but her dream of a better land
She brought her son to a west unspoiled by man
No name of the father she raised the boy alone
Couldn’t forget a name she’d never known
To feed her son and put a roof overhead
All she could do was sell herself in bed
Hidden the closet eyes clamped tight
the boy lost count of the men who called at night
but on that final knock a shiver run down his spine
In stepped his mother’s end
John Ed Ballentine
John Ed Ballentine
The boy crawled from the shadow at the sound of the blows
His mother bled out lifeless in repose
Forsaken the boy grew up hard and obsessed
till the day he stole a horse headed further west
Kansas City Cheyenne and towns between
He searched in vain til the year he turned nineteen
Found a woman whose beauty no longer shined
She said the man who cut her up was
John Ed Ballentine John Ed Ballentine
Dealing stud John called nothing wild
He never saw the vengeful man grown from the child
He saw three kings but he didn’t see the knife blade flash
A crimson fountain erupted from the gash
Pulsing through the boy was a rage he’d held within
He stabbed him for his mother and then he stabbed him for him
With the father never known the boy set things right
wound upon wound inflicted on judgement night
Pools of vengeance puddled on the wooded floor
Quest complete he headed back out the door
his mother’s dream he had sought to enshrine
Free in the west once he killed
John Ed Ballentine
