這是媽媽最愛的一首歌

媽媽年輕的時候

留著一頭長髮燙著大捲

穿著喇叭牛仔褲與馬靴

熱愛寫作與鄉村民歌

常常拿著一把木吉他唱著這首歌

原唱是 Peter Paul & Mary

媽媽常提起年輕時候的自己

總是幻想著自己拎著一只大皮箱帶著一把木吉他穿著牛仔褲坐著火車遠走他鄉

我常常幻想著這樣的她





If you miss the train Im on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

Lord Im one, lord Im two, lord Im three, lord Im four,
Lord Im 500 miles from my home.
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord Im five hundred miles from my home.

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I cant go a-home this a-way
This a-away, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way,
Lord I cant go a-home this a-way.

If you miss the train Im on you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
