《The Hangman And The Papist(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hangman And The Papist - The Strawbs
[00:00:45] The village square stands quiet
[00:00:47] The curfew still enforced
[00:00:50] The streets are even clear of dogs and whores
[00:00:56] Like some evil bird of prey
[00:00:59] The scaffold spreads its wings
[00:01:01] The people build their fires and bolt their doors
[00:01:07] The mayor is giving dinner to the officers' wives
[00:01:13] His eldest son is learning how to fawn
[00:01:18] The barrack block is hushed and tense
[00:01:21] The soldiers drawing lots
[00:01:24] Who will be the hangman in the dawn
[00:01:33] The lot falls on a young man
[00:01:35] Who has served for but a year
[00:01:38] His home is in the village close nearby
[00:01:44] He shivers at the thought of what
[00:01:47] He's forced to do next day
[00:01:50] He wonders who it is who has to die
[00:01:55] And the full moon casts a cold light
[00:01:58] On the gloomy prison walls
[00:02:01] The papist walks his cell he cannot sleep
[00:02:06] He hears the waiting gallows creaking
[00:02:09] Just beyond that door
[00:02:12] He prays for he has no more tears to weep
[00:02:21] The day begins to break
[00:02:23] A muffled drums begins to sound
[00:02:26] A crowd begins to gather in the square
[00:02:32] The presence of the hangman in his terrifying mask
[00:02:37] Weighs heavy on the minds of all those there
[00:02:43] The colonel reads the sentence
[00:02:46] Which the papist knows by heart
[00:02:48] He has failed to show allegiance to the King
[00:02:54] His crime is thus with God himself
[00:02:57] And in His name he must hang
[00:03:00] The papist head held high says not a thing
[00:03:08] The jailer binds his hands
[00:03:10] And puts his blindfold to his eyes
[00:03:13] He leads him through the door before the crowd
[00:03:19] The hangman sees his victim
[00:03:22] And the blood drains from his face
[00:03:25] He sees his younger brother standing proud
[00:03:30] The hangman tries to protest
[00:03:33] But is ordered to proceed
[00:03:36] His trembling hands begin to take the strain
[00:03:41] His eyes are blind with streaming tears
[00:03:44] And he cries for all to hear
[00:03:47] Forgive me God we hang him in Thy name
[00:03:52] Forgive me God we hang him in Thy name
[00:03:58] Forgive me God we hang him in Thy name
[00:04:03] Forgive me God we hang him in Thy name
