《When First Into This Country》歌词

[00:00:00] When First Into This Country - Airport

[00:00:00] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:01] When first down to this country

[00:00:03] A stranger I came

[00:00:07] I courted younger

[00:00:11] And Nancy was her name

[00:00:14] I courted her for love

[00:00:16] I'm love I didn't obtain

[00:00:19] Do you think I've any reason

[00:00:24] Or right to complain

[00:00:30] I rode to see my Nancy

[00:00:32] And I rode both day and night

[00:00:36] And I stole a fine dray horse

[00:00:40] From captain William White

[00:00:43] The sheriff's men they followed

[00:00:45] And it overtaken me

[00:00:49] They carted me away

[00:00:53] To the penitentiary

[00:01:24] Bob slang me in the cell

[00:01:27] And then the lord be in

[00:01:31] They shaved off my head

[00:01:35] I'm been lost my chin

[00:01:37] They beat me and they banged me

[00:01:40] And fed me on dried beef

[00:01:43] Till I wished to my own soul

[00:01:47] I'd never been a thief

[00:01:49] With my coat of many colors

[00:01:52] And the colorful coat so love

[00:01:56] I show the night

[00:01:59] But it's the Jacob's of old I got

[00:02:07] When I first down to this country

[00:02:10] A stranger I came

[00:02:14] I courted younger

[00:02:18] And Nancy was her name
