《When First Unto This Country》歌词

[00:00:00] When First Unto This Country - New Lost City Ramblers

[00:00:14] When first unto this country

[00:00:17] A stranger I came

[00:00:20] And I courted a fair maid

[00:00:24] And Nancy was her name

[00:00:28] I courted her for love

[00:00:30] And her love I didn't obtain

[00:00:34] Do you think I've any reason

[00:00:38] Or right to complain

[00:00:42] I rode to see my Nancy

[00:00:44] I rode both day and night

[00:00:48] I courted fairest Nancy

[00:00:51] My own heart's true delight

[00:01:08] I rode to see my Nancy

[00:01:11] I rode both day and night

[00:01:14] Till I was fine they find gray horse

[00:01:18] From looking and fair

[00:01:21] The Sheriff's meet me followed

[00:01:24] And overtaken me

[00:01:27] They carted me away

[00:01:30] To the penitentiary

[00:01:35] They opened the door

[00:01:37] And then they shop me in

[00:01:40] They cleared off my head

[00:01:44] Instead of my chin

[00:02:01] They beat me and they banged me

[00:02:03] They fed me on dried beef

[00:02:07] Till I wished to my own soul

[00:02:10] I'd never been a thief

[00:02:14] With my hands in my pockets

[00:02:16] Fet me cat put on so bold

[00:02:20] With my coat of many colors

[00:02:23] Like Jacob's of old
