90年代听过无数次的一首忧伤吉他曲 Don't Take The Girl

看到楼下阿园写的男人在心爱的妻子难产之时的反应，想起90年代校园里时常听到的一首吉他曲，非常忧伤，特别是在深夜操场上一撮篝火忽暗忽明，映着火堆边一、二男生情绪低落的面庞与信手弹拂的吉他，远远听到若有若无的吉他声与吟唱声，很令人感动的。

这首吉他曲发行于1995年，大意是无猜两小，青梅最终没过生小孩的鬼门关，竹马抒发内心的痛苦哀伤。

DON'T TAKE THE GIRL

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old.
Little girl came through the front gate
holdin' a fishin' pole.
His dad looked down and smiled,
said, "We can't leave her behind"
"Son, I know you don't want her to go,
but someday you'll change your mind."
And Johnny said,
"Take Jimmy Johnson,
take Tommy Tompson.
Take my best friend, Bo.
Take anybody that you want as
long as she don't go.
Take any boy in the world,
daddy please, don't take the girl."

Same old boy, same sweet girl
ten years down the road.
He held her tight and kissed her lips in
front of the picture show.
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm said "If you do what I tell you to do,
there won't be any harm"
And Johnny said "Take my money,
take my wallet,
take my credit cards.
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl,
But please don't take the girl."

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's gonna be a little one and she
says it's time to go.
Doctor says the baby's fine
but you'll have to leave
'Cause his momma's fading fast and
Johnny hit his knees and there he prayed
"Take the very breath you gave me.
Take the heart from my chest.
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me,
make this my last request.
Take me out of this world
God, please don't take the girl"

Johnny's daddy
Was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old
