《Sailor’s Grave(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Sailor's Grave - Glenn Yarbrough

[00:00:06] Our barque was far

[00:00:08] Far from the land

[00:00:09] When the fairest

[00:00:11] Of our gallant band

[00:00:13] Grew deadly pale

[00:00:14] And pined away

[00:00:16] Like the twilight dawn

[00:00:18] Of an autumn day

[00:00:27] We watched him

[00:00:28] Through long hours of pain

[00:00:30] Our fears were great

[00:00:32] Our hopes in vain

[00:00:34] Death's through he give me;

[00:00:36] Made no alarm

[00:00:37] He smiled and died

[00:00:39] In his messmate's arms

[00:00:48] We had no costly winding sheet

[00:00:51] We placed two round shot at his feet

[00:00:54] And in his hammock

[00:00:56] Snug and sound:

[00:00:57] A kingly shroud like marble bound

[00:01:08] We proudly decked his funeral vest

[00:01:11] With a starry flag upon his breast

[00:01:15] We gave him this

[00:01:16] As a badge so brave

[00:01:18] And then he was fit for a sailor's grave

[00:01:29] Our voices broke

[00:01:30] Our hearts turned weak

[00:01:32] And tears were seen

[00:01:33] On the brownest cheek

[00:01:35] A quiver played

[00:01:37] On the lip of pride

[00:01:38] As we lowered him down

[00:01:40] Our dark ship's side

[00:01:49] A splash a plunge

[00:01:51] And our task was o'er

[00:01:52] And the billows rolled

[00:01:54] As they rolled before

[00:01:56] And many a wild prayer

[00:01:58] Follow to the wave

[00:01:59] And the sound him

[00:02:00] Into a sailor's grave
