歌曲 | Poor Murdered Woman |
歌手 | Shirley Collins |
专辑 | No Roses |
作词 : Traditional | |
It was Yankee the squire | |
As I've heard the men say | |
Who rode out a-huntin' on one Saturday. | |
They hunted all day but nothing they found | |
But a poor murdered woman | |
Laid on the cold ground. | |
About eight o'clock boys the dogs | |
they throwed off | |
on Leatherhead Common | |
and that was the spot. | |
They tried all the bushes but nothing they found | |
But a poor murdered woman | |
Laid on the cold ground. | |
They mounted their horses | |
And they rode off the ground | |
They rode to the village | |
And alarmed it all around. | |
It is late in the evening I'm sorry to say | |
She cannot be removed until the next day. | |
The next Sunday morning about eight o'clock | |
Some hundreds of people | |
To the spot they did flock | |
For to see the poor creature | |
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/john-&-mary-lyrics/the-poor-murdered-woman-lyrics.html ] | |
Your hearts would have bled | |
Some cold-hearted violence | |
Came into their heads. | |
She was took off the common | |
And down to some inn | |
And the man that has kept it, | |
His name is John Simms. | |
The coroner was sent for, the jury they pined, | |
And soon they concluded and settled their mind. | |
Her coffin was brought, in it she was laid | |
And took to the churchyard | |
This cold winter day. | |
No father, no mother, no long friend untold | |
Came to see the poor creature | |
Laid under the cold. | |
So now I'll conclude and I'll finish my song | |
And those that have damage | |
Shall find themselves wrong | |
The last day of Judgment | |
The trumpet shall sound | |
And their souls not in heaven | |
I'm afraid won't be found. |
