《Lady Gay》歌词

[00:00:00] Lady Gay (Child Ballad No 79)Very Early Joan - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

[00:00:15] There was a lady and a lady gay

[00:00:22] Of children she had three

[00:00:27] She sent them away to the North Countree

[00:00:36] To learn their grammaree

[00:00:45] They'd not been gone but a very short time

[00:00:53] Scarcely three weeks and a day

[00:00:57] When death cruel death came hasting along

[00:01:06] And stole those babes away

[00:01:15] "There is a King in Heaven " she cried

[00:01:23] "A King of third degree

[00:01:27] Send back send back my three little pages

[00:01:36] This night send them back to me "

[00:01:45] She made a bed in the uppermost room

[00:01:53] On it she put a white sheet

[00:01:57] And over the top a golden spread

[00:02:06] That they much better might sleep

[00:02:13] "Take it off take it off " cried the older one

[00:02:21] "Take it off take it off " cried he

[00:02:25] "For what's to become of this wide wicked world

[00:02:34] Since sin has first begun "

[00:02:44] She set a table of linen fine

[00:02:50] On it she placed bread and wine

[00:02:55] "Come eat come drink of

[00:02:59] My three little babies

[00:03:04] Drink of mine "

[00:03:13] "We want none of your bread mother

[00:03:20] Neither do we want your wine

[00:03:25] For yonder stands our Savior deer

[00:03:34] To Him we must resign "

[00:03:43] "Green grass is over our heads mother

[00:03:50] Cold clay is over our feet

[00:03:55] And every tear you shed for us

[00:04:03] It wets our winding-sheet "
