Lynn Anderson酒駕肇事

鄉村歌星Lynn Anderson九月12日在田納西州那許維爾因酒駕肇事遭警方逮捕，十年前她也因酒駕被德州警察逮捕過，而且進過勒戒所，不過這一次她交了五千元罰款後被釋放出來。

Lynn Anderson 1947年出生於北達科它州Grand Forks，但在加州Sacramento長大，母親Liz Anderson也是鄉村歌星，1966年她在加州的一場馬術表演節當選選美皇后，因而加入Chart唱片公司，展開了歌唱生涯，後來且嫁給唱片製作人兼作曲Glen Sutton，並轉投更大的Columbia唱片公司。

Lynn Anderson自1966年至1989年一共有60首歌進過鄉村歌曲排行榜，其中獲得鄉村榜第五名的Rose Garden，在熱門流行歌曲榜獲得更好的二週第三名的成績，這首歌也為她奪得1970年Grammy最佳鄉村女歌星獎，在全美最常播出歌曲榜也名列99名。

Words and Music by Joe South

 

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a little rain some time

When you take you gotta give so live and let live

Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

 

I could promise you things like big diamond rings

But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover

So you better think it over

Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true

I would give you the world right now on a silver platter

But what would it matter

So smile for a while and let's be jolly

Love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along and share the good times while we can

 

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a little rain some time

 

 

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

 

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon

But if that's what it takes to hold you

I'd just as soon let you go

But there's one thing I want you to know

You better look before you leap, still waters run deep

And there won't always be someone there to pull you out

And you know what I'm talkin' about

So smile for a while and let's be jolly

Love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along and share the good times while we can

 

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

FADE

Along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a little rain some time
