歌词

[00:12.08] Have mercy on me, sir
[00:13.71] Allow me to impose on you
[00:15.03] I have no place to stay
[00:16.10] And my bones are cold right through
[00:23.41] I will tell you a story
[00:25.86] Of a man and his family
[00:28.11] And I swear that it is true
[00:33.93] Ten years ago I met a girl named Joy
[00:36.99] She was a sweet and happy thing
[00:39.87] Her eyes were bright blue jewels
[00:42.37] And we were married in the spring
[00:45.49] I had no idea what happiness and little love could bring
[00:51.36] Or what life had in store
[00:58.18] But all things move toward their end
[01:01.24] All things move toward their their end
[01:04.11] On that you can be sure
[01:05.33]
[01:34.16] Then one morning I awoke to find her weeping
[01:37.85] And for many days to follow
[01:41.72] She grew so sad and lonely
[01:44.04] Became Joy in name only
[01:47.41] Within her breast there launched an unnamed sorrow
[01:51.91] And a dark and grim force set sail
[01:59.16] Farewell happy fields
[02:00.79] Where joy forever dwells
[02:04.41] * Hail horrors hail *
[02:09.85] Was it an act of contrition or some awful premonition
[02:15.73] As if she saw into the heart of her final blood-soaked night
[02:21.71] Those lunatic eyes, that hungry kitchen knife
[02:27.34] Ah, I see sir, that I have your attention!
[02:32.53] Well, could it be?
[02:37.59] How often I've asked that question
[02:41.65] Well, then in quick succession
[02:42.90] We had babies, one, two, three
[02:48.19] We called them Hilda, Hattie and Holly
[02:51.79] They were their mother's children
[02:52.73] Their eyes were bright blue jewels
[02:57.44] And they were quiet as a mouse
[03:00.02] There was no laughter in the house
[03:03.05] No, not from Hilda, Hattie or Holly
[03:05.81] "No wonder", people said, "poor mother Joy's so melancholy"
[03:11.68] Well, one night there came a visitor to our little home
[03:19.93] I was visiting a sick friend
[03:22.37] I was a doctor then
[03:25.43] Joy and the girls were on their own
[03:32.13]
[03:57.08] Joy had been bound with electrical tape
[03:58.08] In her mouth a gag
[04:00.27] She'd been stabbed repeatedly
[04:02.64] And stuffed into a sleeping bag
[04:05.99] In their very cots my girls were robbed of their lives
[04:10.42] Method of murder much the same as my wife's
[04:14.68] Method of murder much the same as my wife's
[04:22.56] It was midnight when I arrived home
[04:25.75] Said to the police on the telephone
[04:28.18] Someone's taken four innocent lives
[04:33.63] They never caught the man
[04:36.63] He's still on the loose
[04:39.56] It seems he has done many many more
[04:44.50] Quotes John Milton on the walls in the victim's blood
[04:48.44] The police are investigating at tremendous cost
[04:52.62] In my house he wrote "his red right hand"
[04:57.12] That, I'm told is from Paradise Lost
[05:03.88] The wind round here gets wicked cold
[05:07.32] But my story is nearly told
[05:09.75] I fear the morning will bring quite a frost
[05:15.30] And so I've left my home
[05:18.18] I drift from land to land
[05:19.80] I am upon your step and you are a family man
[05:25.49] Outside the vultures wheel
[05:27.93] The wolves howl, the serpents hiss
[05:31.31] And to extend this small favour, friend
[05:34.49] Would be the sum of earthly bliss
[05:37.18] Do you reckon me a friend?
[05:42.46] The sun to me is dark
[05:45.34] And silent as the moon
[05:47.77] Do you, sir, have a room?
[05:50.21] Are you beckoning me in?
