Powderfinger Lyrics

	作曲 : Young
	Look out, Mama,
	there's a white boat
	comin' up the river
	With a big red beacon,
	and a flag,
	and a man on the rail
	I think you'd better call John,
	'Cause it don't
	look like they're here
	to deliver the mail
	And it's less than a mile away
	I hope they didn't come to stay
	It's got numbers on the side
	and a gun
	And it's makin' big waves.

	Daddy's gone,
	my brother's out hunting
	in the mountains
	Big John's been drinking
	since the river took Emmy-Lou
	So the powers that be
	left me here
	to do the thinkin'
	And I just turned twenty-two
	I was wonderin' what to do
	And the closer they got,
	The more those feelings grew.

	Daddy's rifle in my hand
	felt reassurin'
	He told me,
	Red means run, son,
	numbers add up to nothin'
	But when the first shot
	hit the docks I saw it comin'
	Raised my rifle to my eye
	Never stopped to wonder why.
	Then I saw black,
	And my face splashed in the sky.

	Shelter me from the powder
	and the finger
	Cover me with the thought
	that pulled the trigger
	Think of me
	as one you'd never figured
	Would fade away so young
	With so much left undone
	Remember me to my love,
	I know I'll miss her.
