《Roaring Forties》歌词

[00:00:00] Roaring Forties - The Go Set

[00:00:06] Well I met a fervent lady

[00:00:07] In the splendour of the night

[00:00:09] And a harlot is a curse and so began my plight

[00:00:13] I am a poor unhappy soul within these walls I lay

[00:00:16] And transportation sentenced

[00:00:18] I'm going far away

[00:00:26] I spent ever sovereign to maintain the lofty dame

[00:00:29] And when it all ran out she treated me with disdain

[00:00:32] So upon her orders I began a life to plunder

[00:00:35] But now she is long gone and I am left to wonder

[00:00:38] So here I ride on the roaring forties

[00:00:41] She'd tear for seven years in a foreign land

[00:00:45] Here I ride on the roaring forties

[00:00:48] She'd tear for seven years a forsaken man

[00:00:57] Well I was a young man proud

[00:00:59] But I turned a common thief

[00:01:01] A man will do most anything for a woman's spell beneath

[00:01:04] My aged parents proud they bitterly did cry

[00:01:07] They bid farewell their son

[00:01:09] And his soul goodbye

[00:01:17] So come all you native boys

[00:01:19] Come and gather round

[00:01:21] I'll tell you all the story of why I'm ironbound

[00:01:24] I stood before the judge and was sentenced for my ways

[00:01:27] He said my lad you are transported

[00:01:29] To Botany Bay

[00:01:34] So here I ride on the roaring forties

[00:01:37] She'd tear for seven years in a foreign land

[00:01:40] Here I ride on the roaring forties

[00:01:43] She'd tear for seven years a forsaken man

[00:01:47] Here I ride on the roaring forties

[00:01:50] Here I ride on the roaring forties

[00:01:53] Here I ride on the roaring forties

[00:01:57] She'd tear for seven years a forsaken man
