Luyện nghe bài hát The Ballad Of Barbara

In a southern town I was born
That's I got my education
I worked in the fields and I in the woods
And I at creation

I the sun in a sky of blue
And the smell of things growin'
And the changed and I lived each day
Just the way the wind was

Then I heard of a cultured life
Breathtakin' lofty
And the day I myself a man
I left my land and my

And I rambled north and I rambled
And I and I tasted
And a or two, took me round and round
But they left me wasted

In a world that's all concrete and
nothin' green ever growin'
Where the buildings hide the sun
And they blocked the free winds blowin'

Where you sleep all day and you all night
To a of drink and laughter
I met that girl that I was sure be
The one I was after

In a soft blue and formal tux
Beneath lofty steeple
He said, "Do you Barbara, this man
you be one of his people?"

And she said, "I will", and she said, "I do"
And the looked mighty pretty
And we in a fancy downtown flat
'Cause she the noisy city

But the grew cold beneath a yellow sky
And I for green things growin'
And the thoughts of and the people there
But she'd not to goin'

Then her eyes turned away from me
With a look that wasn't
And she into concrete and steel
And she said, "I'll the city"

Now the go by on the interstate
And my is on my shoulder
But I'm goin' home, I belong
Much wiser now and
