Luyện nghe bài hát It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go/Abraham Martin

(Nancy Griffith)

I am a backseat from america
They to the left on falls road
And the man at the name is Shamus
We pass a the on a corner he knows.

And shamus says now what has that kid got
And I say from the back I know
He says there's wire at all of these exits
There no place in Belfast for that kid to go.

And a hard life, it's a hard life
a very hard life, it's a hard life wherever you go
And we poison our children with
And the hard life is all they know.

--- ---

At the in Chicago
A fat man in of me
He's calling black people trash to his
He's the only here I see.

And I'm thinking man wears a white hood
In the when his children should sleep
But they'll to their windows and see him
They'll that white hood's all they need.

And a hard life, it's a hard life
It's a very hard life, it's a hard life you go
And we poison our with hatred
And the hard is all that they know.

I was a child of the
When dreams could be through tears
With and Cronkite and Martin Luther
And I belived, I believed, I believed.

Now I'm a driver from America
And I'm not at the wheel of
And I am guilty, I am worn, I am the of all evil
And I can't drive on the left of the road.

And it's a hard life, it's a hard
It's a very life, it's a hard life wherever you go
And we our children with hatred
And the life is all that they know.

And there ain't no place in this world for these to go
'Cause it's a hard life you go...

Has anybody seen my old friend Abraham
Can you tell me he's gone
He freed a lotta but it seems the good die young
I just around and he's gone.

Has anybody here seen my old friend

He freed a lotta people but it the good die young
I just looked around and gone.

Has anybody here my old friend John

He a lotta people but it seems the good die young
I just looked and he's gone.

Didn't they try to find some
In you and me and we'll be
Someday soon gonna be one day.

Has anybody here seen my old Bobby

I thought I saw him up over the hill
With and Martin and John...
