《The Little Grave》歌词

[00:00:00] The Little Grave - George Hamilton IV

[00:00:09] One winter's Eve

[00:00:12] Went to walking out beyond the city gate

[00:00:19] For to fetch a fresh young pheasant

[00:00:24] For my darling's dinner plate

[00:00:31] It was snowing oh so quietly

[00:00:36] And the woods were wide and soft

[00:00:41] Just the sound of snowflakes falling

[00:00:45] And the footsteps as I walked

[00:00:53] There I saw a fresh young pheasant

[00:00:58] And I shot and killed him there

[00:01:05] And I heard a distant church bell

[00:01:10] As the bird fell from the air

[00:01:18] As I held his dying body the

[00:01:23] Strangest thought came over me

[00:01:27] God had made this little body that

[00:01:32] I had killed so faultlessly

[00:01:39] All the woods were dark and shadowed

[00:01:44] With the light the cold stars gave

[00:01:52] Sent a prayer to God in heaven

[00:01:57] And covered up the little grave

[00:02:04] And covered up the little grave
