《The Newry Highwayman》歌词

[00:00:00] The Newry Highwayman - The Dubliners

[00:00:02] In Newry Town I was bred and born

[00:00:07] In Steven's Green now I'll die in scorn

[00:00:15] I served my time to the saddling trade

[00:00:20] But I turned out to be I turned out to be a roving blade

[00:00:27] At seventeen I took a wife

[00:00:34] I loved her dearly as I love life

[00:00:40] And for to keep both fine and gay

[00:00:47] I took to robbing I took to robbing on the King's highway

[00:00:54] I never robbed any poor man yet

[00:01:01] Nor any tradesman has cause to fret

[00:01:07] I rob the lords and their ladies bright

[00:01:14] I take their jewels I take their jewels to my heart's delight

[00:01:22] To Covent Garden I make my way

[00:01:28] With my dear wife for to see the play

[00:01:34] Lord Fielding's corps they did me pursue

[00:01:41] And I was taken I was taken by that cursed crew

[00:01:49] My father cried Oh my darling son

[00:01:55] My wife she wept and said ""I'm undone

[00:02:02] My mother tore her white locks and cried

[00:02:08] Twas in the cradle 'twas in the cradle that he should have died

[00:02:16] And when I'm dead and in my grave

[00:02:22] A flashy funeral pray let me have

[00:02:29] With six bold highwaymen to carry me

[00:02:35] Give them good broadswords good broadswords and liberty

[00:02:43] Six pretty maidens to bear my pall

[00:02:50] Give them white ribbons and garlands all

[00:02:56] For when I'm dead aye they'll speak the truth

[00:03:03] He was a wild and a wicked youth

[00:03:11] In Newry Town I was bred and born

[00:03:17] In Steven's Green now I'll die in scorn

[00:03:24] I served my time to the saddling trade

[00:03:29] And all garlands

[00:03:34] I turned out to be a roving blade
