  • 作词 : DiPiero, Tillis
    A baby with a baby just barely seventeen
    My mother mourned her innocence
    While she bounced me on her knee
    A daddy on the road added to her tears and trials
    Like silver rain they fell upon this melancholy child
    The sounds of my childhood still linger in my song
    My mother's lullaby that train that ran behind our home
    A whippoorwill on a window sill -
    It should have made me smile
    But everything sounds lonesome to a melancholy child
    Now a restless blood runs in our family
    I thought
    I could out run the emptiness inside of me
    So I went a little crazy, went a little wild
    Trying to outdistance my own melancholy child
    I met a kind and gentleman who thinks the world of me
    And when he looks my way it is a woman that he sees
    But when I can't explain to him the tears that fill my eyes
    He takes me in his arms and rocks his melancholy child
    You take a black
    Irish temper and some solemn
    Cherokee A
    Southern sense of humour and you got someone like me
    There are thorns on every rose to this
    I'm reconciled
    They're just a little sharper to a melancholy child
    And in my own babe's eyes
    I see the signs of melancholy child
    Heaven help us all, another melancholy child
