《The Unwelcome Guest(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Unwelcome Guest - Billy Bragg and Wilco

[00:00:08] To the rich man's bright lodges

[00:00:11] I ride in this wind

[00:00:15] On my good horse I call you

[00:00:19] My shiny black Bess

[00:00:23] To the playhouse of fortune

[00:00:27] To take the bright silver

[00:00:31] And gold you have taken

[00:00:35] From somebody else

[00:00:39] And as we go riding

[00:00:42] In the damp foggy midnight

[00:00:47] You snort my good pony

[00:00:50] And you give me your best

[00:00:54] For you know and I know

[00:00:58] Good horse 'mongst the rich ones

[00:01:02] How oftimes we go there

[00:01:06] An unwelcome guest

[00:01:18] I never took food

[00:01:21] From the widows and orphans

[00:01:25] And never a hardworking man I oppressed

[00:01:33] So take your pace easy

[00:01:37] For home soon like lightning

[00:01:41] We soon will be riding

[00:01:44] My shiny black Bess

[00:01:48] No fat rich man's pony

[00:01:52] Can ever overtake you

[00:01:56] And there's not a rider

[00:01:59] From the east to the west

[00:02:04] Could hold you a light

[00:02:07] In this dark mist and midnight

[00:02:11] When the potbellied thieves

[00:02:14] Chase the unwelcome guest

[00:02:27] I don't know good horse

[00:02:30] As we trot in this dark here

[00:02:34] That robbing the rich

[00:02:37] Is for worse or for best

[00:02:41] They take it by stealing

[00:02:45] And lying and gambling

[00:02:49] And I take it my way

[00:02:53] My shiny Black Bess

[00:02:57] I treat horses good

[00:03:00] And I'm friendly to strangers

[00:03:04] I ride and your running

[00:03:07] Makes my guns talk the best

[00:03:12] And the rangers and deputies

[00:03:15] Are hired by the rich man

[00:03:19] To catch me and hang me

[00:03:23] My shining black Bess

[00:03:57] Yes they'll catch me napping one day

[00:04:02] And they'll kill me

[00:04:05] And then I'll be gone

[00:04:08] But that won't be my end

[00:04:12] For my guns and my saddle

[00:04:16] Will always be filled

[00:04:20] By unwelcome travelers

[00:04:24] And other brave men

[00:04:28] And they'll take the money

[00:04:31] And spread it out equal

[00:04:35] Just like the Bible

[00:04:38] And the prophets suggest

[00:04:43] But men that go riding

[00:04:46] To help these poor workers

[00:04:50] The rich will cut down

[00:04:53] Like an unwelcome guest
