[00:00.000] 作词 : Merle Kilgore [00:01.000] 作曲 : Merle Kilgore [00:06.53]Well,you wonder why I always dress in black, [00:11.55]Why you never see bright colors on my back, [00:16.58]And why does my appearance [00:19.20]seem to have a somber tone. [00:21.83]Well,there's a reason for [00:23.10]the things that I have on. [00:26.78]I wear the black for the poor [00:29.04]and the beaten down, [00:31.79]Livin'in the hopeless,hungry side of town, [00:34.72]I wear it for the prisoner [00:39.39]who has long paid for his crime, [00:42.01]But is there [00:42.84]because he's a victim of the times. [00:47.03]I wear the black for those who never read, [00:51.98]Or listened to the words that Jesus said, [00:57.20]About the road to happiness [00:59.72]through love and charity, [01:01.05]Why,you'd think [01:03.12]He's talking straight to you and me. [01:06.92]Well,we're doin'mighty fine, [01:09.18]I do suppose, [01:12.09]In our streak of lightnin'cars [01:14.42]and fancy clothes, [01:15.28]But just so we're reminded of [01:19.72]the ones who are held back, [01:22.38]Up front there ought 'a be a [01:24.86]Man In Black. [01:27.53]I wear it for the sick and lonely old, [01:32.43]For the reckless ones whose [01:34.14]bad trip left them cold, [01:37.56]I wear the black in mournin' [01:40.11]for the lives that could have been, [01:42.66]Each week we lose [01:43.91]a hundred fine young men. [01:47.17]And,I wear it for the thousands [01:49.88]who have died, [01:52.50]Believen'that the Lord was on their side, [01:57.03]I wear it for another [01:59.71]hundred thousand who have died, [02:02.48]Believen'that we all were on their side. [02:07.21]Well,there's things that never will be right I know, [02:12.48]And things need changin'everywhere you go, [02:17.07]But 'til we start to make a move [02:19.96]to make a few things right, [02:22.41]You'll never see me wear a suit of white. [02:27.03]Ah,I'd love to wear a rainbow every day, [02:32.20]And tell the world that everything's OK, [02:37.32]But I'll try to carry off [02:39.66]a little darkness on my back, [02:42.27]'Till things are brighter, [02:44.20]I'm the Man In Black.
