John Travolta-Barbara Allen

Mother go make my bed
make it long and narrow
My true love died for me yesterday
I shall die for him tomorrom

"A Love Song for Bobby Long" An interlude, the original lyrics of this paragraph were originally sung faster, but in the movie, Bobby sang it into a country song with a touch of sadness. Bobby was a playboy when he was young, but time has passed, and now he is an old father who is afraid of loneliness, longs for a happy family, and can give everything for his daughter. John Travolta’s performance is so fascinating that I forget that he is the action star in "Broken Arrow", the swing dance in "Pulp Fiction", the funny of "Red Dead Redemption", his career and The role he played was the same, and the glitz faded away.

A Love Song for Bobby Long quotes

  • Lawson Pines: That girl looks so much like Lorraine. Remember the first time you took me to see her sing was my first time in New Orleans.

    [pause]

    Lawson Pines: I was so taken.

    Bobby Long: Well... you were kind of. You were kind of sheltered. Choked by that silver spoon.

    Lawson Pines: I thought she was so beautiful.

    Bobby Long: She was.

  • Bobby Long: [singing] Mother, go make my bed, / Make it long and narrow. / My true love died for me yesterday, / I shall die for him tomorrow. She was buried in a church house yard, / And he was buried there beside her. And from his grave grew roses red, / From hers grew green briar. They grew and they grew so very high, / Till they could grow no higher; And at the top grew a true lovers' knot, / Twined with green briar.
