白兔窩

很喜歡這首西洋老歌
據查
這首歌比較好聽的版本有兩種
一種是 Rosemary Clooney 所演唱
另外一種則是原唱 Stuart Hamblen
我兩種都喜歡
所以一次列出來

有沒有發覺
有幾首周杰倫的歌曲曲調跟這首歌很像？
其實也不是這首歌
其實這是同一類『德州牛仔鄉村風』的歌曲
不能說是抄襲
這種曲調西洋歌曲也在那種很傳統的舞會中常常會出現
被沿用到現今還沒有退燒
可見是聽起來多麼享受的風格歌曲

This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew his wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now he trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' walks about

[Chorus]

Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window-pane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
He's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky
This ole house is a-gettin' old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
Oh his knees are-a gettin' chilly
But he feel no fear or pain
'Cause he sees an angel peekin'
Through a broken window-pane

[Chorus]

This ole house is afraid of thunder
This ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night wind flings its arms
This ole house is a-gettin' feeble
This old house is a-needin' paint
Just like him it's tuckered out
But he's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

[Chorus]

Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window-pane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
He's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
