[00:00.00]Rider, Pass By (Album Version) - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)
[00:15.27]Tell me when you see them
[00:19.65]Gathered at the shore
[00:24.80]Dancing on their broken chains
[00:28.13]Ah the ladies are no more
[00:33.25]In their blue jeans and their necklaces
[00:38.89]Against an evening sky
[00:43.11]But some of them are weeping
[00:47.85]Crying rider please pass by
[00:57.25]The ship with all the riders
[01:01.56]Has drifted out to sea
[01:06.53]Compass cracked and stars unnamed
[01:11.48]It's lost to history
[01:15.41]And the riders in captivity
[01:20.44]Watch ancient waves roll high
[01:25.45]And hear the distant voices
[01:30.19]Crying rider please pass by
[01:38.94]
[01:39.47]All you men who should have been
[01:43.36]Your fathers beat you down
[01:48.55]Your mothers loved you badly
[01:53.38]Your teachers stole your crowns
[01:57.65]And the wars you fought have taken toll
[02:02.51]The price was far too high
[02:07.67]You've buried all the images
[02:12.55]Of riders passing by
[02:33.94]The horses of the riders
[02:38.06]Have waited at the tide
[02:42.92]But years have passed they know at last
[02:47.82]Their heroes will not ride
[02:51.91]So the women oh so gracefully
[02:57.39]Mount noble horses high
[03:00.84]
[03:01.76]Shattering the timelessness
[03:06.75]Of rider please pass by
[03:15.38]But who can dare to judge us
[03:19.77]The women or the men
[03:24.61]If freedom's wings shall not be clipped
[03:29.37]We all can love again
[03:33.42]So the choice is not of etiquette
[03:38.01]Or finding lonesome ways to die
[03:43.15]But liberty to ships at sea
[03:48.17]And riders passing by
[03:53.46]But liberty to ships at sea
[03:58.01]And riders passing by
