【聽歌練聽力】Thanksgiving Song: 《Take Me Home, Country Roads》

這兩天近六千萬北美人在回家路上。七十年代有個叫鄧諾夫的與未婚妻在馬裏蘭州開車被一處美景吸引而寫下這曲子，開頭歌詞裏用了其家鄉州名，而後改為 West Virginia , 因為他覺得同為四音節的西維吉尼亞更有樂感。後來歌唱家John Denver （見下麵video）也做了修改，終成經典。俺的學唱最後一段把鄧諾夫家鄉州加回去，因為沒有這一州就沒有感恩Thanksgiving Day。

你寫的五個English words (names are hard to write)也在這短詩裏：
驅車坐愛楓林旁
一山一河丹佛唱
叢中鹿兒跳怪舞
WV 珍珠多芬芳
金秋豐收南瓜州
火雞大餐獻感恩

Happy Thanksgiving to All 

《Take Me Home, Country Roads》
Song by Bill Danoff/John Denver

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, （#1) River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's ( #2), (#3) to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads

--ended for Denver--

Extra points for Danoff (find out his home state?):with my 2-words edit below:

I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
(#4), (#5) mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down)
