Bing Crosby在录制《Down to the Old Ox Road》时,曾因忘词而尴尬。他在录音棚里多次NG,甚至一度想放弃。然而,在一次偶然的试唱中,他灵机一动,将歌词改为即兴发挥,反而成就了这首经典之作。录制过程中,他还意外发现,这首歌的旋律与家乡的风景息息相关,令他倍感亲切。最终,这首歌曲成为了他演艺生涯的代表作之一。

歌词

[00:00.00]Down The Old Ox Road - Bing Crosby (本·考斯比)

[00:13.47]There's a famous thoroughfare

[00:14.67]I've heard collegiates say

[00:16.80]I'm not referring to Piccadilly

[00:23.16]It's not 42nd Street

[00:24.53]It's not the rue de la Paix

[00:26.57]Nor is it Market Street in Philly

[00:33.04]Ask most any college Romeo

[00:37.32]To complete your education you must go

[00:43.09]Down the old ox road

[00:50.63]Though you'll never find out where it is

[00:53.31]By looking in maps

[00:56.28]With a little investigation you'll discover perhaps

[01:03.03]That this old tradition's not a place

[01:07.06]But just a proposition called

[01:10.62]The old ox road

[01:17.68]The old ox road

[01:23.10]Ox road could be any romantic spot

[01:27.29]A country highway or a moonlit yacht

[01:32.07]It could be in the parlor

[01:33.85]When the lights are burning low

[01:36.70]It could be in the movie

[01:38.84]In the very last row

[02:14.84]Down the old ox road

[02:22.27]In the magic of the moonlight

[02:24.87]You are filled with delight

[02:29.11]While the leaves that flutter o'er you

[02:32.90]Whisper lover tonight

[02:37.45]Why keep waiting and debating

[02:41.31]When you know it's time for mating

[02:44.06]On the old ox road

[02:51.40]On the old ox road
