鄉村歌后Tammy Wynette的名曲

1975年的今天，結過五次婚的鄉村歌星Tammy Wynette的單曲Stand By Your Man在英國排行榜獲得冠軍，這首歌1968年即在美國推出，當年在鄉村歌曲排行榜得到過第3名，在流行歌曲排行榜則得到過第19名，是一首後來收進葛萊美鄉村歌曲名人堂的歌，1970年的電影Five Easy Pieces「浪蕩子」，曾經為傑克尼科遜首次贏得了奧斯卡獎最佳男演員提名，片中將Tammy Wynette的這首Stand By Your Man與D-I-V-O-R-C-E都收進去做插曲，其實這部電影的劇情環繞古典音樂世家，片名原文來自「Five easy piano pieces」這句子，Tammy Wynette唱來有點悲調的幾首鄉村歌曲的穿插，倒挺能描寫傑克尼科遜在劇中那所扮演那個角色的無奈 。




Tammy Wynette 1998年已因血癌去世（55歲），她從1967年至1976年共有20首歌在鄉村歌曲排行榜得到過第1名，外號The First Lady Of Country Music的她，名副其實是鄉村歌曲的第一夫人，我很喜歡她的歌。




Stand by Your Man    

Tammy Wynette

Sometimes its hard to be a woman

Giving all your love to just one man

You'll have bad times

And he'll have good times

Doing things that you don't understand

But if you love him you'll forgive him

Even though he's hard to understand

And if you love him

Oh be proud of him

'Cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man

Give him two arms to cling to

And something warm to come to

When nights are cold and lonely

Stand by your man

And tell the world you love him

Keep giving all the love you can

Stand by your man

Stand by your man

And show the world you love him

Keep giving all the love you can

Stand by your man
