Old McNeil歌词完整版
(Oh, yeah)
(Oh, yeah)
(Oh, yeah)
(Oh, yeah)
Old McNeil walking down the road
The sun was beginning to set
Stopping for a moment to wipe from his brow
A trickling bead of sweat (Oh, yeah)
John Brown stood in the yard
He was chopping a block of wood
“My back’s thrown out,” McNeil said
“I’d help you if I could” (Oh, yeah)
“That’s okay,” John Brown said
And he looked at the setting sun (Oh, yeah)
“After I finish this one here
I reckon I’ll be done”
McNeil scratched on the back of his head
The lines showing on his face (Oh, yeah)
He looked out across John Brown’s field
Said, “I like what you’ve done to the place” (Oh yeah)
Well, it’s been one year now since Rita passed”
McNeil said with a sigh
“I don’t get out much anymore”
And he wiped a speck from his eye
“Oh, it’s strange, I used to want this
So much time to spend on my own (Oh, yeah)
All those years with Rita
Now I’m alone”
“My Marie’s been good to me”
John Brown said an answer
“If she should go before I do
I reckon I would suffer”
Well, dinner is ready by now I guess
You’re welcome if you’d like to join us”
“No, no thanks,” McNeil replied
“I have some other employments”
McNeil walked back down the same road
The grass blowing in the breeze (Oh, yeah)
A crow flew up and lit off into a distant grove of trees
