《She Was No Good(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] She Was No Good (Album Version) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:28] She could be no good I'm telling you

[00:00:35] Gather round boys for a tale that is tragic and true

[00:00:45] On the Mississippi riverboat "Magnolia"

[00:00:57] No one onboard was smelling too sweet

[00:01:04] That precious one must have been stamping her feet

[00:01:13] Dictating demands all well and fine

[00:01:16] A few rods west of the Bridgeport line

[00:01:21] But the veil was drawn and the halo slipped

[00:01:25] Tippling tinctures reciting scripture

[00:01:32] Faces where slapped just as kid gloves were suffered

[00:01:40] Vile threats were uttered and challenges offered

[00:01:50] On the Cumberland riverboat "E W Stephens"

[00:02:02] Daggers were drawn on pistols pulled

[00:02:09] Staggering 'til dawn filled up with whiskey and rum

[00:02:18] And several drunken musicians ran amok

[00:02:25] Rampaging with the crew around the deck

[00:02:33] And I received a blow that was unkind

[00:02:40] It turned my cheek to the colour of gentian violet

[00:02:52] I wouldn't say that this journey had quite been the highlight

[00:03:02] Of the All-American Tour

[00:03:06] Teetering on the edge of war

[00:03:10] Out of the genteel Northern prosceniums

[00:03:19] Filled up with imitation Europeans

[00:03:28] Down along the river of rough damnations

[00:03:36] By the blood-stained cotton and the slave plantations
