煤矿工人的女儿

Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor but we had love
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar

My daddy worked all night in the Van Leer coal mine
And all day long in the field a' hoeing corn
Momma rocked the babies at night and read the Bible by the coal oil light
And everything would start all over come break of morn'
 
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard every day
Well, I seen her fingers bleed, to complain there was no need,
She'd smile in mommy's understanding way

In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog, money made from selling a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere
 
Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
I remember well the well where I drew water
The work we done was hard, at night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler

Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floors, nothing lives here anymore
Except the memories of a coal miner's daughter

"I'm All He's Got (But He's Got All Of Me)"

No he's not a man who brags about his good look wealth or fame
Though his reputations talk about but he don't hide a thing
He lives the way he wants to live and that's how he should be
I'm all he's got but he's got all of me
Yes I'm all he's got but he's got all of me
I'll be contented in his loving arms eternaly
For could he give me more than love how richer could I be
I'm all he's got but he's got all of me
[ steel - piano ]
Yes we have a lot in common and that's more than others have
Take you preachin' out for something but there's nothing there to brag
His love is all he has to give but he gives it all to me
I'm all he's got but he's got all of me
Yes I'm all he's got...
 
我们那一年夏天焖了50多人,我一个远表舅也在其中,听说刚结婚,还没孩子。两个多月后人弄上来时很瘦,就是说是饿死的。

我曾到过矿上,有的小矿坑口还没防空洞大。我特理解为什么有人就算睡厕所也要待在大城市,因为家里,家乡太差了。
 
我特别喜欢这类乡村的,这里有一首我喜欢的,是乡村歌手Dolly Parton 原唱,是她童年真实的经历。15年拍了同名电影Coat Of Many Colors。

不过我个人偏爱另一个歌手唱的,改了以后更current 一点。

这首歌让我想起我自己小时候,我的衣服总是哥哥穿完姐姐穿,最后才轮到我穿,学校里的男孩子怎么嘲笑我。

后来2-3年级以后,妈妈开始做衣服去卖,她算是很早的个体户了,妈妈很聪明,只要她看见过,即便只是挂在百货大楼,摸都没摸过,她都能做出一模一样的,我的衣服就成了学校里最漂亮的。

不论贫富,有一个好妈妈,孩子就是幸福的。。


"Coat Of Many Colors"
Back through the years
I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
And oh I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

最近在看abc哥推荐的the girl on the train, 因为只能坐火车的时候看,看得很慢,刚看到到死者梅根的丈夫Scott 在老婆被害以后,得知她原来和她的心理医生偷情,死的时候怀着孕,以往曾失手弄死过自己的孩子,然后他被当作犯罪嫌疑人盘问了半天后,身心疲惫的来到酒鬼女主家那节。。。

俺在咣当的火车上,突然想起这首歌,翻出来共享。

因为有故事,这曾经是我最喜欢的歌之一。。。

关于这书,我还不知道凶手是谁,有可能还没出场,有可能就是这个丈夫,或者是火车上那个男人,求看过这个书的,千万不要剧透,先谢。。。


"My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
That boy's not right
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies
And saw the man inside

We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream our way out of this town

No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
And never came home
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town

I think about my life gone by
And how it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone, long gone

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town

打动人心,童年,母爱, 最永恒的感情, 最有力量,
现代的诗都是歌的形式, 加倍的感染力,
 
sabre有矿山生活经历,所以有特殊的偏爱,对吗Sabre?
母爱, 音乐, 歌声, 可以超越国界, 超越阶层,
没文化, 没钱, 不送孩子学钢琴, 都不减弱母爱和亲情,
电影里, 主人公13岁就结婚出走, (好像真人是15岁结婚),
一面是向往爱情, 向往新生活, 向往外边的世界,
另外一面, 对家乡, 对父母, 割舍不断的依恋,
