Take the ribbon from my hair
머리의 리본을 떼어보세요
Shake it loose let it fall
머리를 풀어 살며시 늘어뜨려요
Layin' soft up on my skin
벽에 비친 그림자처럼
Like the shadows on the wall
내곁에 살며시 누워 보세요

Come and lay down by my side
이리 와서 내 옆에 누워요
Till the early morning light
아침 햇살이 비칠 때까지
All I'm takin' is your time
당신의 시간을 내게 주세요
Help me make it through the night
이 밤을 샐 수 있도록 도와주세요

I don't care who's right or wrong
누가 옳은지 그른지 개의치 않아요
And i won't try to understand
이해하려고 노력하지도 않아요
Let the devil take tomorrow
내일은 신경쓰지 말아요
Lord tonight I need a friend
오늘 밤 난 친구가 필요해요

Yesterday is dead and gone
어제는 사라져 버렸고
And tomorrow's out of sight
내일 일은 알지 못해요
And it's sad to be alone
홀로있는 건 서글프니
Help me make it through the night
이 밤을 지샐 수 있도록 도와 주세요

I don't want to be alone
홀로있고 싶지 않으니
Help me make it through the night
이 밤을 지샐 수 있도록 도와 주세요

Don't look so sad, I know it's over
그토록 슬프게 바라보지 말아요,
난 그것이 끝난 걸 알지만
But life goes on
인생은 계속 흘러 가자나요.
And this old world just keeps on turning
그리고 이 오래된 세상은 계속 돌기만 하네요.

Let's just be glad, we had this time
To spend together
그저 기쁘게 삽시다.
우리에겐 함께보낼 이 시간이 있자나요.
There's no need to watch the bridges
That were burning.
다리들을 바라 볼 필요가 없어요.
그것들은 불타고 있어요.
Lay your head on my pillow
머리를 내 베게위로하고 누우세요
Hold your warm and tender body next to mine
당신의 따뜻하고 부드러운 몸을 붙잡아서 간직할께요.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
속삭이듯 들려오는 빗소리를 들어 보세요.
Beating soft against the window
부드럽게 창가를 두드리고 있네요.
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times.
그리고 믿음을 가지고 날 한번더 사랑해줘요..
좋은 날(시간,시절)을 위해서

I'll get along You'll find another
난 외로울 겁니다, 당신은 또 다른 것을 찾는다면.
And I'll be here if you should find
You ever need me.
그리고 당신이 내가 필요해서 나를 찾고자 한다면,
난 여기서 있을겁니다.
Don't say a word
About tomorrow or forever
내일 또는 영원히에 대해서 단어로 말하지 마세요.
There'll be time enough
For sadness when you leave.
당신이 떠날 때 슬플 수 있는 충분한 시간이 될겁니다.

I've seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies

Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies

Turning on the world the way she smiles upon my soul as i lay diing

Healing with the colors of the sunshine and the shadow of her eyes

Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin

Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that i've been

Teaching me that yesterday was something that i never thought of trying

Talking about tomorrow and the money love and time we'd have to spend

Loving her was easier than anything i'll ever do again

Coming close together with a feeling that i've never know before,in my time

She ain't afraid to be a woman or afraid to be a friend

I don't know the answer to the easy way she opens every door in my mind

Dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end

Loving her was easier than anything i'll ever do again

Busted flat in Baton Rouge,
headin' for the train,
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
just before it rained;

Took us all the way to New Orleans.
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues.
With them windshield wipers slappin' time,
And Bobby clappin' hands,
We finally sang up every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for
nothing' left to lose:
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.
Feeling good was easy, Lord,
when Bobby sang the blues.

Feeling good was good enough for me;
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

From the coal mines of
Kentucky to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Standin' right beside me, Lord,
through everything I've done,
Every night she kept me from the cold.

Then somewhere near Salinas,
Lord, I let her slip away,
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find.
And I'd trade all my tomorrows
for a single yesterday,
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom's just another word for
nothing' left to lose:
Nothin' left is all she left for me.
Feeling good was easy, Lord,
when Bobby sang the blues.
Buddy, that was good enough for me;
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

La da da la la na na na
La da da na na.
La la la da, Me and Bobby McGee.
La la la la la da da da
La la la da da.
La la la da, Me and Bobby McGee.

La la la la la na na na
La la la da da.
La da da da, Me and Bobby McGee.
La la la la la da da da-

Who's right or wrong
We've been injuring each other
For much too long
And it's too late to try to save
What might have been
It's over
Nobody wins
Make believin in forever
Is just a lie
And it seems a little sadder
Each time we try
'Cause it's a shame to make
The same mistakes again
And again
It's over.
Nobody wins
We've gone too far too long
Too far apart
The lovin' was easy
It's the livin' that's hard
And there's no need to stay and see
The way it ends
It's over.
Nobody wins

Why me Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one Of the pleasures I've known
주여.. 제가 아는 행복한것들중에서
어느 하나라도 즐길만한 어떤 일을
제가 한 적이 있는지요..

Tell me Lord,
말해주세요.주여..
what did I ever do That was worth loving you
내가 당신을 사랑할 가치가 있는
어떤 일을 한 적이 있는지
Or the kindness you've shown
혹은 내게 보여준 친절에 보답을 했는지

Lord help me Jesus,
도와주세요 주여
I've wasted it so Help me Jesus I know what I am
모든걸 낭비했어요.
내가 내 자신을 잘 알고 있으니 나를 도와주세요.

Now that I know that I've need you so Help me Jesus,
이제 당신이 간절히 필요한걸 알고 있으니
도와주세요.주여..
my soul's in your hand
내 영혼은 당신 손에 달려있답니다

Try me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay All I've taken from you
당신으로부터 받아온 모든 것들을
제가 갚을 수 있는 방법이 있다고
주님께서 생각하신다면 절 시험하세요.

Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
What I've been through myself On my way back to you
아마도 내가 다른 사람에게 내가 걸어왔던 길을 끝내고
당신에게 가고 있단걸 보여줄 수 있을것 같습니다

Lord help me Jesus,
도와주세요 주여
I've wasted it so Help me Jesus I know what I am
모든걸 낭비했어요.
내가 내 자신을 잘 알고 있으니 나를 도와주세요.
Now that I know that I've need you so Help me Jesus,
이제 당신이 간절히 필요한걸 알고 있으니
도와주세요.주여..
my soul's in your hand
내 영혼은 당신 손에 달려있답니다

Well I woke up Sunday morning

with no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt

and the beer I had for breakfast

wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert

then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes

and found my cleanest dirty shirt

it's the one I'm wearin'

and I shaved my face and combed my hair

and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

I'd smoked my brain the night before

or:I smoked so much the night before

with cigarettes and songs that I've been pickin'

my mouth was like an ashtray I'd been lickin'

but I lit my first and watched a small kid

cussin' at a can that he was kicking

then I crossed the empty street

and caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken

and it took me back to somethin'

that I'd lost somehow somewhere along the way

On the Sunday morning sidewalks

wishing Lord that I was stoned

'cause there is something in a Sunday

that makes a body feel alone

and there's nothin' short of dyin'

half as lonesome as the sound

on the sleepin' city side walks

Sunday mornin' comin' down

In the park I saw a daddy

with a laughing little girl who he was swingin'

and I stopped beside a Sunday school

and listened to the song that they were singin'

then I headed back for home and

somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'

and it echoed thru the canyon like

the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

On the Sunday morning sidewalks

wishing Lord that I was stoned

'cause there is something in a Sunday

that makes a body feel alone

and there's nothin' short of dyin'

half as lonesome as the sound

on the sleepin' city side walks

Sunday mornin' comin' down.

He's a giver, he'll give her
The kind of attention that she's never known
He's a helper, he'll help her
To open the doors that she can't on her own
He's a lover, he'll love her
In ways that she never has been loved before
And he's a getter, he'll get her
By gettin her into the world she's been hungerin' for

'cause he's a taker, he'll take her
To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before takin' advantage
Takin' her easy and slow
And after he's taken the body and soul
That she gives him, he'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave her
Takin' all of her pride as he goes

Yes, he's a taker, he'll take her ...

He's a charmer, and he'll charm her


With money and manners that I never learned
He's a leader, and he'll lead her
Across pretty bridges he's planning to burn
He's a talker, he'll talk her
Right off of her feet, but he won't talk for long
Cause he's a doer, and he'll do her
The way that I never
And damned if he won't do her wrong
'cause he's a taker, he'll take her
To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before takin' advantage
Takin' her easy and slow
And after he's taken the body and soul
That she gives him, he'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave her
Takin' all of her pride as he goes

Yes, he's a taker, he'll take her ...

Maybe she was smilin' in the mirror
Maybe I was too, 'cause I was stoned
Singin' every sad song on the juke-box one more time
Honey, they were hittin' close to home
And I said - Maybe this'll make you think I'm crazy
Honey, don't feel lonesome if you do
But if you wanna make a young man happy one more time
I'd sure like to spend the night with you
And she said - Stranger
Shut out the light and lead me
Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too
And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me
Stranger, could I believe in you
Maybe you got all you got together
Maybe you keep rollin' like a stone
Maybe some old lonesome song'll take you by surprise
And leave you just a little more alone
Singing - Stranger
Shut out the light and lead me
Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too
And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me
Stranger, could I believe in you
Keep Singing - Stranger
Shut out the light and lead me
Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too
And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me
Stranger, could I believe in you

[ with Larry Gatlin]
Lord help me walk another mile just one more mile I'm tired of walking all alone
Lord help me smile another smile just one more smile
I know I just can't make it on my own
I never thought I needed help before I thought that I could do things by myself
Now I know I just can't take it anymore
With a humble heart on bended knee I'm begging you please help me

Come down from your golden throne to me to lowly me
I need to feel the touch of your tender hand
Remove the chains of darkness and let me see Lord let me see
Just where I fit into your Master plan
I never thought I needed help before I thought that I could get by by myself
Now I know I just can't take it anymore
With a humble heart on bended knee I'm begging you please help me
With a humble heart on bended knee I'm begging you please for help

(feat. Dolly Parton)

Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
You've hurt me enough today

You say our love is over that you have found another
You say you're going away
But leave me tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today

You've hurt me enough today I can't believe the words you say
I must accept the fact you won't be coming back
So please stay just one more day loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today

The clubs are all closed and the ladies are leaving,
There's nobody nobody knows on the street;
A few stranded souls standing cold at the station,
An nowhere to go but to bed and to sleep.

Lord, would you look at you
now that you're here, ain't you
proud of your peers
and the long way you've come?

All alone, all the way
on your own, who's to say
that you've thrown it away for a song?
Boy, you've sure come a long way from home.

So it's so long to so many so far behind you,
Fair-weather friends that you no longer know;
You've still got the same lonely songs to remind you
Of someone you seemed to be so long ago.

Lord, would you look at you
now that you're here, ain't you
proud of your peers
and the long way you've come?

All alone, all the way
on you own, who's to say
that you've thrown it away for a song?
Boy, you've sure come a long way from home.

See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans,
Wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile--
Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams,
Which he spent like they was goin' outta style--
And he keeps right on a'changin' for the better or the worse,
Searchin' for a shrine he's never found--
Never knowin' if believin' is a blessin' or a curse,
Or if the goin' up was worth the comin' down--

He's a poet, he's a picker--
He's a prophet, he's a pusher--
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned--
He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.

He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars,
And he's traded in tomorrow for today--
Runnin' from his devils, lord, and reachin' for the stars,
And losin' all he's loved along the way--
But if this world keeps right on turnin' for the better or the worse,
And all he ever gets is older and around--
>from the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of the hearse,
The goin' up was worth the comin' down--

He's a poet, he's a picker--
He's a prophet, he's a pusher--
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned--
He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
There's a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.

You ask me if I'm happy now

That's good as any joke I've heard

It seems that since I've seen you last

I done forgot the meaning of the words

If happiness is empty rooms

And drinkin' in the afternoon

Well I suppose I'm happy as a clam

But if it's got a thing to do

With smilin' of forgettin' you

Well I don't guess that I could say I am


Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

Because he's never seen a single dream come true

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you


You wonder if I'm better off

With freedom now to do the things I choose

With all my times my own and

I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose

There's no one here to carry on

If I stay out the whole night long

or give a tankerous damn if I don't call

I'm livin' like I wanted to And doin' things I wanna do

And nothin' means a thing to me at all


Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds soaked the paper

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

Because he's never seen a single dream come true

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you

Alone in a barroom a young girl is sitting
And smiling at nothing at all
And she stares now and then at the eyes of the men
In the mirror that hangs on the wall

She's waiting for someone and knowing there's no one
Who cares if she comes or she goes
Just a soul in the shadows the world never sees
She's somebody nobody knows

Someone no one's ever known
Crying where no one can hear
Somebody's dying alone
In a city where nobody cares

Down in the gutter an old man has fallen
Like somebody the world threw away
And the late crowd was leaving, and nobody even
Took the time to look down where he lay

The old man was crying and helplessly trying
To wipe off the stain from his clothes
Just a soul in the shadows that life left behind
He's somebody nobody knows

Someone no one's ever known
Crying where no one can hear
Somebody's dying alone
In a city where nobody cares

We're just goin' through the motions
Of the parts we've learned to play
Never quite together like before
But somehow darlin' something good
Got lost along the way
And our song ain't nothing
Special anymore

Let's try it one more time
With feeling darlin', take it from the top
Let me feel those tears a fallin' babe
I don't want to miss a single drop
Darlin' make believe your makin'
Me believe each word you say
Try it once more with feeling
And we'll call it a day

Ah you're reachin' out to touch me
Darlin' just the way you used to do
An you're lookin' everywhere but
In my eyes
Well that's an oldy but it's a goody babe
But them words ain't ringin' true
And you don't seem very sure of your life

So try it one more time with feeling
Darlin' take it from the top
This one is the big one baby so give
It everything you got
Darlin' make believe your makin' me
Believe each word you say
Let's try it once more with feeling
And we'll call it a day

I heard the front door closing softly,
as I wakened from my sleep;
With the last touch of her kips, Lord,
like a whisper on my cheek;

And I cursed the sun for risin',
'cause the worst, Lord, was yet to come;
'Cause this morning, she's just leavin',
but, come sundown, she'll be gone.

See the lipstick on the pillow
that I placed beneath her head;
And the soft sheets still feel warm, Lord,
where she lay upon my bed;

And it hurts to know it's over,
for the hurt, Lord, has just begun.
'Cause this morning, she's just leavin',
but, come sundown, she'll be gone.

I never had no regrets, boys;
Not for nothing I've done.
I owed the devil some debts, boys,
Paid them all up but one.
And I don't even regret the living
That I'll be leaving behind.
I've gotten weary of searching
For something I couldn't find.

I'm going down to the shade
By the river one more time,
And feel the breeze on my face before I die.
I'm gonna leave whatever's left of my luck to the losers,
Then bend me down and kiss the world goodbye.

Come to lucky-in-lovin'
I never had no complaints.
They never said I was evil,
But then, I wasn't no saint.
I'm just a river that rolled forever
And never got to the sea.
I ain't blaming nobody;
I had it coming to me.

I'm going down to the shade
By the river one more time,
And feel the breeze on my face before I die.
I'm gonna leave whatever's left
Of my luck to the losers,
Then bend me down, and kiss the world goodbye.
