歌曲 | One Man's Shame |
歌手 | William Elliott Whitmore |
专辑 | Song of the Blackbird |
作词 : Whitmore | |
Don't alter my altar | |
don't desecrate my shrine | |
My church is the water | |
and my home is underneath the shady pines | |
Don't underestimate the spine in a poor man's back | |
when it's against the wall and his future's black | |
One man's story is another man's shame | |
I ain't bound for glory, I'm bound for flames | |
Take to the woods boy, and cover up your tracks | |
Go away child and don't look back | |
Sad is the lullaby from a mother's heart and soul | |
when she knows her child has strayed from the foal | |
The parish will perish | |
by death's cruel hand | |
and finish the job that fate began | |
All that static in the attic, | |
that's just an old drunk ghost | |
His chains are rattlin' but his end is close | |
Ain't no hell below and ain't no heaven above | |
I came for the drinks but I stayed for the love |

Don' t alter my altar | |

My church is the water | |
and my home is underneath the shady pines | |
Don' t underestimate the spine in a poor man' s back | |
when it' s against the wall and his future' s black | |
One man' s story is another man' s shame | |
I ain' t bound for glory, I' m bound for flames | |

Go away child and don' t look back | |
Sad is the lullaby from a mother' s heart and soul | |
