《Derby Day》歌词

[00:00:00] Derby Day - Christy Moore

[00:00:14] Bishop walked in circles inside the cloistered wall

[00:00:21] Pondering in solitude on leather soles

[00:00:27] Just outside the palace down on his wretched knees

[00:00:34] Husband begged for whiskey beneath the lilac trees

[00:00:43] Over in the courthouse Judge sat wrestling with a yawn

[00:00:50] Wondering would the gardener pluck the daisies off the lawn

[00:00:57] Annoyed and irritated by a

[00:01:01] “guilty” woman's whine

[00:01:04] Poor wife pleading innocence to an alleged crime

[00:01:13] Next day was a Derby Day down on the Curragh plains

[00:01:19] Dry old men of cloth and silk watched the sport of kings

[00:01:29] Meanwhile back down the town a husband battered down the door

[00:01:36] Beat his wife around the face and kicked her to the floor

[00:01:48] Husband took his own life wife passed away

[00:01:56] Judge donned his veil of sorrow

[00:01:59] Put the children into care

[00:02:04] They became God's little orphans

[00:02:08] Learned to serve and to obey

[00:02:12] To be unobtrusive when Bishop knelt to pray
