《Ballads of the Bush: A Bush Christening》歌词

[00:00:00] 3. A Bush Christening - Gavin Lockley/Sharolyn Kimmorley/Sonja Schebeck/Paul Laszlo
[00:00:07] Written by:Gavin Lockley/Banjo Patterson
[00:00:14] On the outer Barcoo where the churches are few
[00:00:17] And men of religion are scanty
[00:00:20] On a road never cross'd 'cept by folk that are lost
[00:00:23] OneMichael Magee had a shanty
[00:00:28] Now this Mike was the dad of a ten-year-old lad
[00:00:32] Plump healthy and stoutly conditioned
[00:00:34] He was strong as the best but poor Mike had no rest
[00:00:37] For the youngster had never been christened
[00:00:42] And his wife used to cry if the darlin' should die
[00:00:45] Saint Peter would not recognise him
[00:00:48] But by luck he survived till a preacher arrived
[00:00:51] Who agreed straightaway to baptise him
[00:00:59] Now the artful young rogue while they held their collogue
[00:01:03] With his ear to the keyhole was listenin'
[00:01:05] And he muttered in fright while his features turned white
[00:01:08] What the divil and all is this christenin'
[00:01:11] He was none of your dolts he had seen them brand colts
[00:01:13] And it seemed to his small understanding
[00:01:16] If the man in the frock made him one of the flock
[00:01:19] It must mean something very like branding
[00:01:22] So away with a rush he set off for the bush
[00:01:25] While the tears in his eyelids they glistened
[00:01:28] 'Tis outrageous says he to brand youngsters like me
[00:01:31] I'll be dashed if I'll stop to be christened
[00:01:33] Like a young native dog he ran into a log
[00:01:36] And his father with language uncivil
[00:01:39] Never heeding the praste cried aloud in his haste
[00:01:42] Come out and be christened you divil
[00:01:45] But he lay there as snug as a bug in a rug
[00:01:50] And his parents in vain might reprove him
[00:01:55] Till his reverence spoke he was fond of a joke
[00:01:59] I've a notion says he that'll move him
[00:02:01] Poke a stick up the log give the spalpeen a prog
[00:02:04] Poke him aisy-don't hurt him or maim him
[00:02:07] 'Tis not long that he'll stand I've the water at hand
[00:02:10] As he rushes out this end I'll name him
[00:02:13] Here he comes and for shame ye've forgotten the name
[00:02:16] Is it Patsy or Michael or Dinnis
[00:02:19] Here the youngster ran out and the priest gave a shout
[00:02:21] Take your chance anyhow wid 'Maginnis'
[00:02:25] As the howling young cub ran away to the scrub
[00:02:28] Where he knew that pursuit would be risky
[00:02:31] The priest as he fled flung a flask at his head
[00:02:34] That was labelled Maginnis's Whisky
[00:02:38] And Maginnis Magee has been made a J.P
[00:02:42] And the one thing he hates more than sin is
[00:02:44] To be asked by the folk who have heard of the joke
[00:02:47] How he came to be christened Maginnis
