《Hirem Pawnitof / Fairies Hornpipe》歌词

[00:00:00] Hirem Pawnitof/Fairies' Hornpipe LP Version - The Incredible String Band

[00:00:34] It's of a famous highwayman a story I will tell

[00:00:38] His name was Hirem Pawnitof in bread street he did dwell

[00:00:42] Through all the storms of his career few troubles he had missed

[00:00:46] His tale was wrote from ear to ear and he looked like this:

[00:01:06] Throughout the land his gallant band in many a song did star

[00:01:10] With Biceps dead and Pretty Boy fled and Boothill claimed Bill Star

[00:01:14] Though the best are gone he still rides from Leeds to Carter Bar

[00:01:18] Weedy and few his motley crew

[00:01:22] And here they are:

[00:01:38] His purse was lined with empty air his wherewithall was low

[00:01:43] The last good swag to pad his lag was 40 years ago

[00:01:47] His motley band were out of hand their breakfast they had missed

[00:01:51] Then travellers two hove into view

[00:01:55] And he challenged them like this

[00:02:11] The stranger turned to his lady fair

[00:02:14] A smile played on his lips

[00:02:16] What's the deal are they for real

[00:02:18] They've been taking too many trips

[00:02:20] No gold need we we travel free here's something we won't miss

[00:02:24] A treasure map from Gabby the Flap

[00:02:27] And he gave it him like this:

[00:02:43] His glasses perched upon his nose the map he carefully sussed

[00:02:47] Each robber's eye filled with surprise there's gold in it for us

[00:02:51] The strangers waved the band goodbye but they did not see them go

[00:02:55] Hirem got his compass out said follow me lads Westard Ho

[00:03:15] Then had not gone but 20 yards when a pieman they did spy

[00:03:19] They smacked their lips with hunger keen - my kingdom for a pie

[00:03:23] The peddlar twinkled once or twice

[00:03:25] Not one word did he say

[00:03:27] With snake-like eyes he shouted 'pie'

[00:03:32] And he struck him on the head with the tray

[00:03:37] At that moment Hirem Pawnitof attained enlightenment

[00:03:52] Come on said Hirem laughing much

[00:03:54] Let's see what's down this road

[00:03:56] His troop were dropping wearily stooping

[00:03:58] Men of no fixed a bode

[00:04:00] Just then a milkmaid Hirem spied

[00:04:03] Their hearts were filled with bliss

[00:04:05] Like long lost friends who meet again

[00:04:09] They fondly kissed like this

[00:04:35] I need a man around the place

[00:04:38] The milkmaid breathed with charm

[00:04:40] And Hirem twirled his long mustache and took her by the arm

[00:04:44] The last we heard they all lived there

[00:04:46] Doing what the law allows

[00:04:48] They all ate breakfast every day happily growing cows
