St. John The Gambler

	作词 : Townes Van Zandt
	When she had twenty years, well she turned to her mother
	Saying mother, I know that you'll grieve
	But I've given my soul to st john the gambler
	Tomorrow comes time to leave
	For the hills cannot hold back my sorrow forever
	And dead men lie deep 'round the door
	The only salvation that's mine for the asking
	So mother, think on me no more
	And winter held high round the mountains' breast
	And the cold of a thousand snows
	Lay heaped upon the forest's leaf
	But she dressed in calico
	For a gambler likes his women fancy
	Fancy she would be
	And the fire of her longing would keep way the cold
	And her dress was a sight to see
	But the road was long beneath the feet
	She followed her frozen breath
	In search of a certain st john the gambler
	Stumbling to her death
	She heard his laughter right down from the mountains
	And danced with her mother's tears
	To a funeral drawn of calico
	'neath the cross of twenty years
	To a funeral drawn of calico
	'neath the cross of twenty years
