《A Tale They Won’t Believe(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] A Tale They Won't Believe (Live) - Weddings Parties Anything

[00:00:36] We left Macquarie Harbour it was in the pouring rain

[00:00:39] None of us quite sure if we would see England again

[00:00:43] Some fool muttered death or liberty

[00:00:46] There was six of us together a jolly hungry crew

[00:00:50] And as the days went by you know our hunger quickly grew

[00:00:53] Some fool muttered death or liberty

[00:00:56] So that night we made fires out of twigs and out of bark

[00:01:00] And our stomachs they were grumbling all through the night so dark

[00:01:04] We were only trying to keep ourselves alive

[00:01:07] But when the sun came up next morning well the six had turned to five

[00:01:11] And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown

[00:01:14] Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe

[00:01:17] When I get down to Hobart town

[00:01:27] All five of us were nervous and I'll tell you that’s a fact

[00:01:30] Bu you should have seen the bastard who was carrying the axe

[00:01:33] He was a sick man he had murder in his heart

[00:01:36] And then we reached the Franklin River and it took two days to cross

[00:01:40] We were wet and almost starvin’ and for food were at a loss

[00:01:43] We were hungry men with murder on our minds

[00:01:47] So that night we made a fire out of twigs and out of bark

[00:01:50] And our stomachs they were rumbling all through the night so dark

[00:01:54] And they were making noises the dead could not ignore

[00:01:58] And when the sun came up next morning

[00:01:59] The five had turned to four

[00:02:01] And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown

[00:02:03] Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe

[00:02:08] When I get down to Hobart town

[00:02:16] Well the four of us kept marching to a place called Western Teirs

[00:02:20] A country full of tasty game but for us it held no cheer

[00:02:23] We had no guns we were traveling without hope

[00:02:27] But the axe it loomed so ominous and God's hand was at play

[00:02:31] A sick man is a type of game which can not run away

[00:02:34] So stay easy my poor man your time's at hand

[00:02:37] So that night we made fires out of twigs and out of bark

[00:02:41] And our stomachs they were grumbling all through the night so dark

[00:02:45] I can't say I feel guilty after all it wasn't me

[00:02:48] But when the sun came up next morning the four had turned to three

[00:02:52] And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown

[00:02:54] Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe

[00:02:58] When I get down to Hobart town

[00:03:07] Well the three of us kept moving but one was fading fast

[00:03:10] He had been bitten by a snake and you could see he would not last

[00:03:14] Stay easy my good man your time is at hand

[00:03:17] And when he could last no longer his days were fading fast

[00:03:21] We were far to weak to carry him subsistency comes first

[00:03:25] Stay easy my good man your time is at hand

[00:03:28] So that night we made fires out of twigs and out of bark

[00:03:32] And our stomachs they were grumbling all through the night so dark

[00:03:35] It was a messy job but it was one we had to do

[00:03:38] But when the sun came up next morning the three had turned to two

[00:03:42] And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown

[00:03:44] Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe

[00:03:49] When I get down to Hobart town

[00:03:56] Now he had been looking at me funny sort of eyeing me for days

[00:04:01] And you would not need to be too bright to know that bastard’s ways:

[00:04:04] He was a sick man he had murder in his heart

[00:04:07] But even bastards have to rest and even bastards have to sleep

[00:04:12] And when he was in the land of Nod straight over I did creep

[00:04:15] And the axe that he had wielded now was mine

[00:04:19] So that night I made the fire out of twigs and out of bark

[00:04:22] And my stomach it kept rumbling all through the night so dark

[00:04:26] I can’t say that I enjoyed it and it wasn’t exactly fun

[00:04:30] But when the sun came up next morning the two had turned to one

[00:04:33] And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown

[00:04:35] Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe

[00:04:40] When I get down to Hobart town

[00:07:02] Well now history is a pack of lies as any fool can tell

[00:07:07] So when I got down to Hobart town I told my story well

[00:07:13] But do you think they would believe one word I said

[00:07:20] For they thought that I was covering for my mates still at large

[00:07:26] Said they’d be roaming in the bush so wild and free

[00:07:32] And back to old Macquarie Harbour they sent me

[00:07:42] But I remember the fires made out of twigs and made of bark

[00:07:46] And my stomach it was grumbling all through the night so dark

[00:07:49] And this young fool he just said to me it's liberty or death

[00:07:53] And he looked a rather tasty one I just could not help it singing

[00:07:56] And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown

[00:07:58] Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe

[00:08:04] When I get down to I get down to I get down to Hobart town
