《Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest - Thea Gilmore

[00:00:10] Well Frankie Lee and Judas Priest

[00:00:13] They were the best of friends

[00:00:15] So when Frankie Lee needed money

[00:00:17] Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens

[00:00:20] And placed them on a footstool

[00:00:22] Just above the plotted plain

[00:00:25] Sayin "Take your pick Frankie Boy

[00:00:28] My loss will be your gain "

[00:00:30] Well Frankie Lee he sat right down

[00:00:32] And put his fingers to his chin

[00:00:35] But with the cold eyes of Judas on him

[00:00:38] His head began to spin

[00:00:40] "Would ya please not stare at me like that ＂ he said

[00:00:43] "It's just my foolish pride

[00:00:45] But sometimes a man must be alone

[00:00:47] And this is no place to hide ＂

[00:00:51] Well Judas he just winked and said

[00:00:54] "All right I'll leave you here

[00:00:56] But you'd better choose

[00:00:57] Which of those bills you want

[00:00:59] Before they all disappear ＂

[00:01:01] "I'm gonna start my pickin' right now

[00:01:03] Just tell me where you'll be ＂

[00:01:06] Judas pointed down the road

[00:01:08] And said "Eternity ＂

[00:01:11] "Eternity " said Frankie Lee

[00:01:13] With a voice as cold as ice

[00:01:16] ＂That＇s right ＂ said Judas Priest ＂Eternity

[00:01:18] Though you might call it ＇Paradise ＇＂

[00:01:21] ＂I don＇t call it anything ＂

[00:01:23] Said Frankie Lee with a smile

[00:01:26] ＂All right ＂ said Judas Priest

[00:01:28] ＂I＇ll see you after a while ＂

[00:01:41] Well Frankie Lee he sat back down

[00:01:43] Feelin＇ low and mean

[00:01:45] When just then a passing stranger

[00:01:48] Burst upon the scene

[00:01:50] Saying ＂Are you Frankie Lee the gambler

[00:01:53] Whose father is deceased

[00:01:55] Well if you are

[00:01:56] There＇s a fellow callin＇ you down the road

[00:01:58] And they say his name is Priest ＂

[00:02:00] ＂Oh yes he is my friend ＂

[00:02:03] Said Frankie Lee in fright

[00:02:05] ＂I do recall him very well

[00:02:08] In fact he just left my sight ＂

[00:02:10] ＂Yes that＇s the one ＂ said the stranger

[00:02:13] As quiet as a mouse

[00:02:15] ＂Well my message is he＇s down the road

[00:02:18] Stranded in a house ＂

[00:02:20] Well Frankie Lee he panicked

[00:02:22] He dropped ev＇rything and ran

[00:02:25] Until he came up to the spot

[00:02:28] Where Judas Priest did stand

[00:02:30] ＂What kind of house is this ＂ he said

[00:02:33] ＂Where I have come to roam ＂

[00:02:35] ＂It＇s not a house ＂ said Judas Priest

[00:02:37] ＂It＇s not a house it＇s a home ＂

[00:02:43] Well Frankie Lee he trembled

[00:02:45] He soon lost all control

[00:02:47] Over ev＇rything which he had made

[00:02:50] While the mission bells did toll

[00:02:52] He just stood there staring

[00:02:53] At that big house as bright as any sun

[00:02:57] With four and twenty windows

[00:03:00] And a woman's face in ev'ry one

[00:03:04] Well up the stairs ran Frankie Lee

[00:03:06] With a soulful bounding leap

[00:03:08] And foaming at the mouth

[00:03:10] He began to make his midnight creep

[00:03:13] For sixteen nights and days he raved

[00:03:16] But on the seventeenth he burst

[00:03:18] Into the arms of Judas Priest

[00:03:21] Which is where he died of thirst

[00:03:23] No one tried to say a thing

[00:03:26] When they took him out in jest

[00:03:28] Except of course the little neighbor boy

[00:03:31] Who carried him to rest

[00:03:33] And he just walked along alone

[00:03:36] With his guilt so well concealed

[00:03:38] And muttered underneath his breath

[00:03:41] ＂Nothing is revealed ＂

[00:03:53] Well the moral of the story

[00:03:55] The moral of this song

[00:03:58] Is simply that one should never be

[00:04:00] Where one does not belong

[00:04:03] So when you see your neighbor carryin＇ somethin＇

[00:04:06] Help him with his load

[00:04:08] And don't go mistaking Paradise

[00:04:10] For that home across the road

[00:04:13] And don't go mistaking Paradise

[00:04:15] For that home across the road
