「歌曲」John the Gun-Sandy Denny

John the Gun was a man of the road,
He carried his life in a heavy load.
He talked to the wind and the rain and the sky,
And the pain in his heart was a reason to cry.

He walked through the towns with a gun by his side,
With a soul full of sorrow and nowhere to hide.
He'd sing of the battles he'd fought and lost,
And the love that he'd found but had come at a cost.

John the Gun, John the Gun,
You travel alone when your race is run.
Your shadow's the only friend you know,
And the road goes on wherever you go.

He spoke of a woman with hair like the sea,
Who once set his restless spirit free.
But the years rolled on and she faded away,
Like the light at the end of a long, lonely day.

So he wanders the earth with his memories worn,
A man of the gun and a man forlorn.
And the stars above are his only guide,
On the road where his heart and his secrets hide.

John the Gun, John the Gun,
You travel alone when your race is run.
Your shadow's the only friend you know,
And the road goes on wherever you go.
