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

(Nancy Griffith)

I am a driver from america
They drive to the left on falls
And the man at the wheels is Shamus
We pass a the on a corner he knows.

And shamus says now what chance has kid got
And I say from the I don't know
He says there's barbed wire at all of exits
ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go.

And it's a life, it's a hard life
It's a very 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 trash to his children
He's the only here I see.

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

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

I was a of the sixties
When dreams be held through tears
Disney and Cronkite and Martin Luther
And I belived, I believed, I believed.

Now I'm a backseat from America
And I'm not at the wheel of
And I am guilty, I am worn, I am the root of all
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 poison our children with
And the life is all that they know.

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

Abraham, Martin and
(Richard Holler)

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

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

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

Didn't you love the things they for
Didn't try to find some good
In you and me and be free
soon it's gonna be one day.

Has anybody here seen my old friend
can you tell me he's gone
I I saw him walking up over the hill
With Abraham and and John...
