《The Unfortunate Man》歌词

[00:00:00] The Unfortunate Man - The Chad Mitchell Trio

[00:00:10] There once was a lawyer they called Mr Clay

[00:00:14] He had but two clients and they wouldn't pay

[00:00:20] At last of starvation he grew so afraid

[00:00:24] That he courted and married a wealthy old maid

[00:00:29] At the wedding the lawyer made one big mistake

[00:00:33] Twas not in omitting the wine or the cake

[00:00:39] The ring was well chosen they had a big feed

[00:00:43] But the lawyer did not get a warranty deed

[00:00:48] He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man

[00:00:57] He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man

[00:01:06] At night in their chamber the lady arose

[00:01:10] And began to prepare to retire and repose

[00:01:15] Her husband sat near her admiring her charms

[00:01:20] That gave him such pleasure to hold in his arms

[00:01:25] She went to the washstand to bathe her fair face

[00:01:29] And thus she destroyed all her beauty and grace

[00:01:35] The rose on her cheek quickly grew very faint

[00:01:39] And he saw on the towel twas nothing but paint

[00:01:44] He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man

[00:01:53] He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man

[00:02:01] She went to the mirror to take down her hair

[00:02:06] And when she had done so her scalp was all bare

[00:02:11] Said she don't be frightened to see my bald head

[00:02:15] I'll put on my cap when I get into bed

[00:02:20] She hung her false hair on the wall on a peg

[00:02:25] Then she proceeded to take off her leg

[00:02:30] Her trembling husband got quite a surprise

[00:02:34] When she asked him to come and take out her glass eye

[00:02:40] Now all you young men who would marry for life

[00:02:44] Be sure to examine your intended wife

[00:02:50] Remember the lawyer who trusted his eyes

[00:02:54] And a little bit later got quite a surprise

[00:02:59] He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man

[00:03:08] He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man
