《Jack O’Rion》歌词

[00:00:25] Jack O'Rion was the finest fiddler ever fiddled on the string

[00:00:31] He could drive young ladies wild with a tune his wires would sing

[00:00:36] He could fiddle the fish out of salt water water from a marble stone

[00:00:41] Or milk from out a maiden's breast though baby she had none

[00:00:56] There he played in the castle hall and there he played them fast asleep

[00:01:01] Except it was for the young countess who for love she stayed awake

[00:01:06] So first he played her a slow air and then he played it brisk and gay

[00:01:11] And oh dear love behind her glove this lady she did say

[00:02:54] Ere the day has dawned and the *****s have crowed and flapped their wings so wide

[00:03:00] It's you must come to my chamber there and lie down by my side

[00:03:05] So he wrapped his fiddle in a cloth of green and he stole out on his a tip a toe

[00:03:10] And he's off back to his young boy Tom as fast as he could go

[00:04:04] Ere the day has dawned and the *****s have crowed and flapped their wings so wide

[00:04:09] I'm bid to go to the lady's door and stretch out by her side

[00:04:14] Lie down lie down my good master here's a blanket to your hand

[00:04:20] And I'll waken you in as good a time as any *****in this land

[00:04:36] Now Tom took the fiddle into his hand he fiddled and he played for a full hour

[00:04:42] Until he played him fast asleep he's off to the lady's bower

[00:04:48] And when he came to her chamber door he twirled softly at the pin

[00:04:54] The lady true to her promise rose up and let him in

[00:05:10] He did not take that lady gay to bolster nor to bed

[00:05:15] But down upon the hard cold floor right soon he had her laid

[00:05:21] And he did not kiss her when he came nor yet but from her he did go

[00:05:26] But in out the lady's bedroom window the moon like a coal did glow

[00:05:36] Ragged are your stockings love and stubbly is your cheek and chin

[00:05:41] And tousled is that yellow hair that I saw yestereve

[00:05:48] These stockings belong to my boy Tom they were the first came to my hand

[00:05:53] The wind must have tousled my yellow hair and I rode over the land

[00:06:00] Now Tom took the fiddle into his hand he fiddled and he played so saucily

[00:06:06] He's off back to his master's house as fast as go could he

[00:06:22] Wake up wake up oh my good master why snore you there so loud

[00:06:27] There's not a *****in all this land but has clapped his wings and crowed

[00:06:34] Jack O'Rion took the fiddle into his hand and he fiddled and he played so merrily

[00:06:40] He's off away to the lady's house as fast as go could he

[00:09:03] And when he came to the lady's door he twirled so softly at the pin

[00:09:10] Saying Oh my dear it's your true love rise up and let me in

[00:09:18] She said Surely you didn't leave behind a golden brooch nor a velvet glove

[00:09:25] Or are you returning back again to taste more of my love

[00:09:52] Jack O'Rion he swore a bloody oath by oak by ash by bitter thorn

[00:09:57] Lady I never was in your house since the day that I was born

[00:10:02] Oh then it was your young boy Tom that cruelly has beguiled me

[00:10:08] Oh woe that the blood of that ruffian boy did spring in my body

[00:10:14] Jack O'Rion sped off to his own house saying Tom my boy come here to me

[00:10:19] He hung him from his own gatepost high as a willow tree
