《Two Butchers》歌词

[00:00:01] Two Butchers - Steeleye Span

[00:00:08] It’s of two noble butchers as i have heard men say

[00:00:13] Started out from london all on a market day

[00:00:17] And as they were a-riding as fast as they could ride

[00:00:23] Oh stop your horse says johnson for hear i some woman cry

[00:00:28] will I not stop says wilson i will not stop says he

[00:00:33] I will not stop says wilson for robbed we shall be

[00:00:37] Johnson he got off his horse searched the woods all ‘round

[00:00:43] And there he spied a woman with her hair pinned to the ground

[00:00:49] How came you here dear woman how came you here fast bound

[00:00:53] How came here you this morning with your hair pinned to the ground

[00:00:57] They robbed me they stripped me they left me here fast bound

[00:01:03] They left me here this morning with me hair pinned to the ground

[00:01:11] May god keep all good people

[00:01:15] May god keep all good people

[00:01:19] May god keep all good people from such bad company

[00:01:32] Then johnson he being a valiant man and a man of courage bold

[00:01:36] He took his coat from off his back to keep her from the cold

[00:01:41] And as they were a-riding as fast as they could ride

[00:01:46] She put a whistle to her mouth and she gave three shivering cries

[00:01:52] Up jumped three bold and swaggering men with swords all in their hands

[00:01:56] Who then commanded johnson commanded him to stand

[00:02:00] I’ll stop i’ll stand says johnson as long as i can stand

[00:02:06] For never was i in all me life afraid of any man

[00:02:14] May god keep all good people

[00:02:18] May god keep all good people

[00:02:22] May god keep all good people from such bad company

[00:02:44] Oh two of them he quickly slew and the third he did not mind

[00:02:48] Til the false young woman took a knife and stabbed him from behind

[00:02:53] Poor johnson he spun round about and he fell down to the ground

[00:02:58] And he cursed that wretched woman who gave him his death-wound

[00:03:04] Now the day it being a market-day there were people traveling by

[00:03:08] Who saw the awful murder who saw poor johnson die

[00:03:12] Now johnson he was a valiant man and a valiant man was he

[00:03:17] May god keep all good people from such companybad

[00:03:25] May god keep all good people

[00:03:30] May god keep all good people

[00:03:34] May god keep all good people from such bad company
