Kingston Trio( 京士頓三重唱 ) New Frontier歌詞
1.Greenback Dollar

作詞:H Axton, K Ramsey

Some people say I'm a no-'count
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural-born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin' what I think I should

And I don't give a damn about a greenback-a dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand

When I was a little baby
My mama said, 'Hey son
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy
Sing what must be sung'

And I don't give a damn about a greenback-a dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand

Now that I'm a grown man
I've traveled here and there
I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song
The only ones who ever care, poor boy
The only ones who ever care

And I don't give a damn about a greenback-a dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand

Some people say I'm a no-'count
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural-born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin' what I think I should

And I don't give a damn about a greenback-a dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand


2.To Be Redeemed

作詞:J Bowers

You've got a hunger in your heart
You've got a thirst within your soul
I'm gonna say
'Don't wait for another day, get to be redeemed'

If your days are dark and your night times are worse
You better read the good book and memorize you a verse
Some seeds need a-weedin', some falls on stone
But the seed that falls on good ground the Lord will call His
own

You've got a hunger in your heart
You've got a thirst within your soul
I'm gonna say
'Don't wait for another day, get to be redeemed'

Old Noah built an ark and they laughed down the line
But when the flood come, well, old Noah was fine
If it was to flood now and Gabriel blow'd his horn
Where'd you hide your guilty hands with all your pockets gone?

You've got a hunger in your heart
You've got a thirst within your soul
I'm gonna say
'Don't wait for another day, get to be redeemed'

It's confusion here and the wicked seem to win
But the Lord's keepin' tally on the wages of sin
Whereabouts is your profit? What good is your goal
If you win the whole wide world and lose your ever lasting soul?

You've got a hunger in your heart
You've got a thirst within your soul
I'm gonna say
'Don't wait for another day, get to be redeemed'


3.The Long Black Veil

作詞:Danny Dill, Marijohn Wilkin

Ten years ago on a cold, dark night
There was someone killed in the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

The judge said, 'Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die'
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

The scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me


4.Honey, Are You Mad At Your Man?

作詞:Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane, John Stewart

Ruby, oh, Ruby
Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad?
Honey, are you mad at your man?

Well, I'm goin' downtown, gonna get me a jug of brandy
Gonna give it all to Mandy, keep her drunk and boozy
Good drunk and boozy, good drunk and boozy all the time

Well, if you say so, then I'll railroad no more
I'll just hang around your shanty
Hang around your shanty, hang around your shanty all the time

Ruby, oh, Ruby
Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad?
Honey, are you mad at your man?

Oh well, I'm walkin' on down, till my shoes are getting' ragged
But you get me down to Nashville
Get me down to Nashville, get me down to Nashville, Tennessee

Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad?
Honey, are you mad at your man?
Ruby, oh, Ruby
Come on home


5.Genny Glenn

作詞:Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane, John Stewart

Well, I'm not gonna brag but I been courtin' all my life
They consider me a roguish lad, especially for my size

And with you, and with you, and with you, Genny Glenn
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again

Now, Genny would come a-callin' while there was still some light
I'd sit her down with a pull or two, she'd stay most all the
night
I'd put my arm around her and then I'd bar the door
There'd be laughin' and some squealin' like you never heard
before

And with you, and with you, and with you, Genny Glenn
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again

Well, a lot of girls would-a liked me and they're pretty, heaven
knows
But there's something about my Genny that keeps me on my toes
She'd tickle me and squeeze me till I could hardly moan
Then she'd light out a-runnin' and I'd chase her half way home

And with you, and with you, and with you, Genny Glenn
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again

Well, she wouldn't come to see me for about a week or more
She'd do it just to tease me 'cause she knew it made me sore
Then I'd do whiskey drinkin' till the jug was getting dry
I'd go lookin' for my Genny with a mean look in my eye

And with you, and with you, and with you, Genny Glenn
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again


6.The New Frontier

作詞:John Stewart

Some to the rivers and some to the sea
Some to the soil that our fathers made free
Then on to the stars in the Heavens for to see
This is the new frontier, this is the new frontier

Let the word go forth from this day on
A new generation has been born
Born to the task to keep us free
But proud of the rights of the home country
This is the new frontier, this is the new frontier

Some to the rivers and some to the sea
Some to the soil that our fathers made free
Then on to the stars in the Heavens for to see
This is the new frontier, this is the new frontier

Let us begin for it shall take long
Let every man sing out freedoms song
Not for ourselves that we take this stand
Now it's the world and the freedom of man
This is the new frontier, this is the new frontier

The day will come, it's got to be
The day that we may never see
When man for man and town for town
Must bring the peace that shall resound
This is the new frontier, this is the new frontier

Some to the rivers and some to the sea
Some to the soil that our fathers made free
Then on to the stars in the Heavens for to see
This is the new frontier, this is the new frontier


7.Some Fool Made A Soldier Of Me

作詞:Jerry Fuller

I remember when I was a barefooted boy
Climbing in a sycamore tree
But now I'm a little older, got a rifle on my shoulder
Some fool made a soldier of me

Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha
And I ride in the rough Calvary
Got a pretty gal waitin' for me while I rot here in the Army
Some fool made a soldier of me

I told her we'd marry and build us a home
And raise us a big family
But she's givin' all her charms to a blue uniform
Some fool made a soldier of me

Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha
And I ride in the rough Calvary
The day's getting' hotter, I'm near out of water
Some fool made a soldier of me

I told General Custer I'm dyin' of thirst
And the heat is getting' to me
But he said, 'Have no fear there's a big river near'
Some fool made a soldier of me

Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha
And I ride in the rough Calvary
We'll get there in the morn to Little Big Horn
Hey, General Custer, I think I see an Indian over there

Yeah, ask her if she's got a friend for me
Some fool made a soldier of me


8.Adios, Farewell

作詞:M. Watts, R. Mosely

Adios farewell, goodbye Majicita
My love for you was never my crime
Adios farewell, goodbye Senorita
I'll need the love of a man in his prime
(2, 3, 4)
I'll leave the love of a man in his prime

I'm a rambler and a gambler, a get rich quick scrambler
I follow the laws that I make own my own
Had to run to, take my gun to South of the border
But I'm not the kind who can live all alone

Adios farewell, goodbye Majicita
My love for you was never my crime
Adios farewell, goodbye Senorita
I'll need the love of a man in his prime
(2, 3, 4)
I'll leave the love of a man in his prime

Just a ridin' and a-hidin', my time I was bidin'
Till I met my love in a small village square
Took her off right beside me with nothing to guide me
Nothin' but stars shinin' down in her hair

Adios farewell, goodbye Majicita
My love for you was never my crime
Adios farewell, goodbye Senorita
I'll need the love of a man in his prime
(2, 3, 4)
I'll leave the love of a man in his prime

Like a fool I adored her, took her back to the border
So we could be married till death do us part
But the posse was a-waitin' and the wild gun of Satan
Shattered the love in my poor darlin's heart

Adios farewell, goodbye Majicita
My love for you was never my crime
Adios farewell, goodbye Senorita
I'll need the love of a man in his prime
(2, 3, 4)
I'll leave the love of a man in his prime


9.Poor Ellen Smith

作詞:Reynolds Nick, Shane Bob, Stewart John C

Poor Ellen Smith, how was she found?
Shot through the heart lyin' dead on the ground
Her body was mangled and all cast around
And X marks the spot where poor Ellen was found

They picked up her body, carried it away
And now she's sleepin' in some lonesome old grave
Who had the heart and who had the brain
To shoot my little Ellen on that cold lonesome plain?

Poor Ellen Smith, how was she found?
Shot through the heart lyin' dead on the ground
Her body was mangled and all cast around
And X marks the spot where poor Ellen was found

They picked up their rifles and hunted us down
They found us loafin' all 'round town
The judge may convict me and God knows he can
But I know I died as an innocent man

Poor Ellen Smith, how was she found?
Shot through the heart lyin' dead on the ground
Her body was mangled and all cast around
And X marks the spot where poor Ellen was found

The warden has told me that soon I'll be free
To go to her grave near that old willow tree
I'm free from the walls of that prison at last
But I'll never be free of my sins from the past

Poor Ellen Smith, how was she found?
Shot through the heart lyin' dead on the ground
Her body was mangled and all cast around
And X marks the spot where poor Ellen was found


10.Dogie's Lament

作詞:Reynolds Nick, Shane Bob, Stewart John (usa)

As I was out walkin' one mornin' for pleasure
I spied a cow puncher a-ridin' along
His hat was thrown back and his spurs were a-jinglin'
And as he approached he was singin' this song

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie
You know that Wyoming will be your new home

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie
You know that Wyoming will be your new home

It's early in the spring when they round up the doggies
They mark 'em and brand 'em and bob off their tails
They round up the horses, load up the chuck wagon
Then send the doggies out on the long tail

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie
You know that Wyoming will be your new home

Your mother was raised a-way down in Texas
Where the Jimsonweed and the sandburrs grow
We'll feed you up on prickly pear and cholla
And then send you roamin' to old Idaho

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie
You know that Wyoming will be your new home


11.The First Time

作詞:Ewan Mac Coll

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gift you gave
To the dark and the empty skies
My love, to the dark and the empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your lips
I felt the earth move in my arms
Like the trembling heart of a captive dove
That was there at my command
My love, that was there at my command

The first time ever I held you near
And felt your heart beat close to mine
I felt a joy to fill the earth
And last until the end of time
My love, and last till the end of time
Our love will last till the end of time


12.My Lord What A Moon
