《Sir William Gower(Live)》歌词

[00:00:01] Sir William Gower(Live) - Fairport Convention

[00:00:27] I am a sailor both stout and strong

[00:00:33] To a goodly vessel I do belong

[00:00:40] Well carved and anchored and well equipped

[00:00:47] Sir William Gower's was a very fine ship

[00:00:54] Our captain in his cabin lay

[00:01:00] When a dreadful voice to him did say

[00:01:07] This night with me in the deep you'll be

[00:01:13] So prepare yourself and your company

[00:01:20] The sky grew dark and the sea grew still

[00:01:27] Bold men were fearful and the air was chill

[00:01:34] Sir William rose to meet his men

[00:01:40] Saying hear me now for I'll not speak again

[00:01:47] I loved my mother when she was alive

[00:01:54] And to my sister I gave babies five

[00:02:01] I killed my wife and her children three

[00:02:07] So I now must face what's come for me

[00:03:07] You'll lash a timber onto my side

[00:03:13] And throw me out on the water wide

[00:03:21] And if I swim then let me be

[00:03:27] But if I sink then pray for me

[00:03:34] So we tied his head and we tied his feet

[00:03:41] And around his middle a winding sheet

[00:03:48] At every knot the sea did stir

[00:03:55] Grew ready for the murderer

[00:04:02] And then we saw his open grave

[00:04:08] In the likeness of a single wave

[00:04:15] That swept our ship from her stern to her bow

[00:04:22] And bore away Sir William Gower
