《Down Among the Bushes of Jerusalem》歌词

[00:00:00] Down Among the Bushes of Jerusalem - The Irish Rovers

[00:00:08] Come listen gentle Christians

[00:00:10] And you Jews and Gentiles too

[00:00:12] And all denominations

[00:00:14] A song I sing to you

[00:00:16] It's all about a young man

[00:00:18] A rebel through and through

[00:00:21] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:00:25] Jerusalem Jerusalem

[00:00:29] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:00:41] Born of honest parents and below a shining star

[00:00:45] The word went 'round the country

[00:00:47] And they came from near and far

[00:00:50] The royal family worried

[00:00:51] He might undermine their power

[00:00:54] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:00:59] They slaughtered all the children

[00:01:01] Every one that they could find

[00:01:04] Just that they be sure that

[00:01:05] They would kill the rebel child

[00:01:08] But somehow he deceived them

[00:01:10] All the soldiers fierce and wild

[00:01:12] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:01:16] Jerusalem Jerusalem

[00:01:21] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:01:32] He grew into a strapping lad

[00:01:35] And helped around the home

[00:01:37] But voices they kept calling

[00:01:39] And he was inclined to roam

[00:01:41] The losers and boozers

[00:01:43] He would count among his own

[00:01:45] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:01:50] As far as I can see you see the Pharisee did say

[00:01:55] You know your Bible fairly well

[00:01:57] You'll make a priest someday

[00:01:59] But you'd better tow the line

[00:02:01] Me boy or there'll be hell to pay

[00:02:03] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:02:08] Jerusalem Jerusalem

[00:02:12] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:02:24] He met the Mary Magdalen

[00:02:26] A lovely girl was she

[00:02:28] O look who's comin' now

[00:02:29] They said the girl of no degree

[00:02:32] I'd rather have her near to me

[00:02:34] More than your hypocrisy

[00:02:37] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:02:42] He went into the churches

[00:02:44] And he saw the shining gold

[00:02:46] And people there were starvin'

[00:02:48] Of the hunger and the cold

[00:02:50] He talked about injustice

[00:02:52] Just be careful he was told

[00:02:55] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:02:59] Jerusalem Jerusalem

[00:03:03] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:03:32] Now if you are a rebel and no Judas

[00:03:35] He did say

[00:03:36] Come burn the Roman empire down

[00:03:38] We'll change the flag today

[00:03:41] It's the human heart I'm changing

[00:03:42] This young rebel he did say

[00:03:45] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:03:49] We're taking him to Calvary

[00:03:51] It's easier you see

[00:03:53] Than try and turn the other cheek

[00:03:56] And love thine enemy

[00:03:58] We're loyal to our own crowd

[00:04:00] To our scribes and pharisee

[00:04:02] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:04:06] Jerusalem Jerusalem

[00:04:11] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem

[00:04:15] Jerusalem Jerusalem

[00:04:19] Down among the bushes of Jerusalem
