Long Ago, Far Away - The Brothers Four (四兄弟)

Lyricist：Bob Dylan

Composer：Bob Dylan

To preach of peace and brotherhood

Oh what might be the cost

A man he did it long ago

And they hung him on a cross

Long ago far away

These things don't happen

Nowadays

The chains of slaves they dragged the ground

With heads and hearts hung low

But it was during Lincoln's time

And it was long ago

Long ago far away

Things like that don't happen

No more nowadays

The war guns they went off wild

The whole world bled it's blood

Men's bodies floated on the edge

Of oceans made of mud

Long ago far away

Those kind of things don't happen

No more nowadays

One man died of a knife so sharp

One man died from the bullet of a gun

One man died of a broken heart

To see the lynchin' of his son

Long ago far away

Things like that don't happen

No more nowadays

Bloody heaters kill them slaters

During roaming time

People cheat what rain

And eyes is mind

Long ago

Long ago far away

Things like that don't happen

No more nowadays

To preach of peace and brotherhood

Oh what might be the cost

A man he did it long ago

And they hung him on a cross

Long ago far away

These things don't happen

No more nowadays

These things don't happen

No more nowadays

These things don't happen

No more nowadays

Do they
