《Sailor’s Grave》歌词

[00:00:00] Sailor's Grave (水手之墓) - Glenn Yarborough

[00:00:06] Our barque was far far from the land

[00:00:09] When the fairest of our gallant band

[00:00:13] Grew deadly pale and pined away

[00:00:16] Like the twilight dawn of an autumn day

[00:00:27] We watched him through long hours of pain

[00:00:30] Our fears were great our hopes in vain

[00:00:34] Death's call he heard; made no alarm

[00:00:38] He smiled and died in his messmate's arms

[00:00:48] We had no costly winding sheet

[00:00:51] We placed two round shot at his feet

[00:00:55] And in his hammock snug and sound:

[00:00:58] A kingly shroud like marble bound

[00:01:08] We proudly decked his funeral vest

[00:01:11] With a starry flag upon his breast

[00:01:15] We gave him this as a badge so brave

[00:01:18] Then he was fit for a sailor's grave

[00:01:29] Our voices broke our hearts turned weak

[00:01:32] And tears were seen on the brownest cheek

[00:01:35] A quiver played on the lip of pride

[00:01:39] As we lowered him down our ship's dark side

[00:01:49] A splash a plunge and our task was o'er

[00:01:53] And the billows rolled as they rolled before

[00:01:56] And many a prayer said to the wave

[00:01:59] That lowered him in a sailor's grave
