Pride Of Franklin County
(专辑: Lovin' And Learnin' - 1976)
All through school he did real well Got a
good job in the
sawmill, yeah But he wanted more so he went away As he stepped on board the
802 He could hear his daddy say "Listen to the
big bell a
ringing on the
hillside I
hear the
town choir singing, oh, so sweet and high Lady Luck's got a
heart of stone And you're the
pride of Franklin County Don't you leave your natural home" Oh, yeah A
small town kid with the
big city blues A
yearning heart and taped up shoes, yeah He wanted more so he went astray Took a
gun and he stole a
car and he was on his way Listen to the
big bell ringing on the
hillside I
hear the
town choir singing, oh, so sweet and high, high Lady Luck, she have a
heart of stone But the
pride of Franklin County's gonna make it on his own Well, he got tough, Lord, he was hard, yeah He robbed a
bank, oh, he didn't see the
guard The
guard shot him down and as he lay there dying People gathered 'round and they swore they heard him say "Listen to the
big bell ringing on the
hillside Hear the
town choir singing, oh, so sweet and high Lady Luck's got a
heart of stone Now the
pride of Franklin County's going home" Listen to the
big bell ringing on the
hillside Hear the
town choir singing, oh, so sweet and high Lady Luck, she have a
heart of stone Now the
pride of Franklin County's going home, yeah Now the
pride of Franklin County's going home, finally coming home
