《Stitch in Time(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Stitch In Time - Christy Moore

[00:00:00] There was a woman and she lived in her own

[00:00:04] Slaved on her own and skivvied on her own

[00:00:16] There was a woman and she lived in her own

[00:00:19] Slaved on her own and skivvied on her own

[00:00:22] She had two little boys and two little girls

[00:00:25] She lived all alone with her husband

[00:00:31] He was a hunk if a man

[00:00:34] A chunk of a man and a drunk of a man

[00:00:36] A hunk of a drunken spunk of a man

[00:00:39] Such a boozy bruising bully of a husband

[00:00:44] When he came home drunk at night

[00:00:47] He thrashed her black and he thrashed her white

[00:00:50] Thrashed her to within an inch of her life

[00:00:52] And snored all night like a pig her drunken husband

[00:00:58] One night she gathered her tears all round her shame

[00:01:02] Covered up the bruising cried with the pain

[00:01:05] You'll not do that ever again

[00:01:07] I'll not live anymore with a drunken husband

[00:01:12] That night as he lay drunk in bed

[00:01:16] The strangest thought came to her head

[00:01:18] She took the needle and the thread

[00:01:21] And went straight into her sleeping husband

[00:01:27] She started to stitch with a girlish thrill

[00:01:30] With a woman's eye and a seamstress skill

[00:01:33] She bibbed and tucked with an iron will

[00:01:36] As she stitched all around her sleeping husband

[00:01:41] The top sheet and the bottom sheet too

[00:01:45] The blanket stitched to the mattress through

[00:01:47] She worked and stitched the whole night through

[00:01:50] Waiting for the dawn and her husband

[00:01:55] He awoke with a pain in his head

[00:01:58] He found that he could not move in bed

[00:02:01] Sweet God in heaven have I lost me legs

[00:02:04] She just sat and smiled at her husband

[00:02:10] In her hand In her hand In her hand she held the frying pan

[00:02:16] With a flutter in her heart she flew at him

[00:02:19] He could not move so he cried God Damn

[00:02:22] Don't you swear at me you dirty husband

[00:02:28] She beat him black and she beat him blue

[00:02:31] With the frying pan and the colander too

[00:02:34] With the rolling pin a stroke or two

[00:02:37] Such a battered and a beaten husband

[00:02:42] If you ever come home drunk again

[00:02:46] I'll stitch you up and sew you in

[00:02:48] Then I'll pack my bags and I'll be gone

[00:02:51] I'll not live anymore with a drunken husband

[00:02:56] Isn't it true what a wife can do

[00:02:59] With a needle thread and a stitch or two

[00:03:02] He wiped his slate and his boozin is through

[00:03:06] She don't live anymore with a drunken husband
