《Mrs. Macdonald’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Mrs. Macdonald's Lament - Gordon Bok

[00:00:06] When the wind's away and the wave's away

[00:00:10] That crazy old fool will go down on the bay

[00:00:15] Dodgin' the ledges and setting his gear

[00:00:19] And come back when the wind drives him in

[00:00:26] Yet he knows full well the fishing is done

[00:00:31] His credit's all gone and the winter is come

[00:00:38] But as sure as the tide will rise and run

[00:00:42] He'll go back on the bay again

[00:00:52] When the snow is down on the Western Bay

[00:00:56] That fool will go

[00:00:57] Running the Fiddler's ground

[00:01:01] Haulin' his gear in

[00:01:02] The trough o' the sea

[00:01:04] As if he'd no mind of his own

[00:01:10] Yet he knows full well the fishing is done

[00:01:15] His credit's all gone and the winter is come

[00:01:22] But as sure as the tide will rise and run

[00:01:26] He'll go back on the bay again

[00:01:36] Well his father's gone an'

[00:01:38] His brothers are gone

[00:01:40] And still he goes down

[00:01:41] On the dark of the moon

[00:01:45] Rowin' the dory an' setting the twine

[00:01:48] An' it don' even pay for his time

[00:02:15] When the wind's away and the wave's away

[00:02:21] Our children go down on the morning sun

[00:02:25] They go rowin' their little

[00:02:27] Boats out on the tide

[00:02:29] And they'll follow their

[00:02:30] Foolish old man

[00:02:35] Well you blind old fool

[00:02:37] Your children are gone

[00:02:40] And you never would tell

[00:02:41] Them the fishing was done

[00:02:46] Their days were numbered

[00:02:48] As soon as they're born

[00:02:51] The same as their foolish old man
