《A Bush Christening》歌词

[00:00:00] A Bush Christening - Gavin Lockley/Tom Ferris/Rum Corps Orchestra/Brett Weymark
[00:00:11] On the outer Barcoo where the churches are few
[00:00:15] And men of religion are scanty
[00:00:18] On a road never cross'd 'cept by folk that are lost
[00:00:21] One Michael Magee had a shanty
[00:00:27] Now this Mike was the dad of a ten-year-old lad
[00:00:30] Plump healthy and stoutly conditioned;
[00:00:33] He was strong as the best but poor Mike had no rest
[00:00:36] For the youngster had never been christened
[00:00:41] And his wife used to cry
[00:00:43] If the darlin' should die
[00:00:45] Saint Peter would not recognise him
[00:00:47] But by luck he survived till a preacher arrived
[00:00:51] Who agreed straightaway to baptise him
[00:01:00] Now the artful young rogue while they held their collogue
[00:01:03] With his ear to the keyhole was listenin'
[00:01:06] And he muttered in fright while his features turned white
[00:01:09] What the divil and all is this christenin'
[00:01:13] He was none of your dolts he had seen them brand colts
[00:01:16] And it seemed to his small understanding
[00:01:19] If the man in the frock made him one of the flock
[00:01:22] It must mean something very like branding
[00:01:25] So away with a rush he set off for the bush
[00:01:28] While the tears in his eyelids they glistened
[00:01:31] 'Tis outrageous says he to brand youngsters like me
[00:01:34] I'll be dashed if I'll stop to be christened
[00:01:37] Like a young native dog he ran into a log
[00:01:41] And his father with language uncivil
[00:01:43] Never heeding the praste cried aloud in his haste
[00:01:47] Come out and be christened you divil
[00:01:50] But he lay there as snug as a bug in a rug
[00:01:55] And his parents in vain might reprove him
[00:02:02] Till his reverence spoke he was fond of a joke
[00:02:05] I've a notion he says that'll move him
[00:02:08] Poke a stick up the log give the spalpeen a prog
[00:02:11] Poke him aisy-don't hurt him or maim him
[00:02:14] 'Tis not long that he'll stand I've the water at hand
[00:02:17] As he rushes out this end I'll name him
[00:02:20] Here he comes and for shame you've forgotten the name
[00:02:23] Is it Patsy or Michael or Dinnis
[00:02:27] Here the youngster ran out and the priest gave a shout
[00:02:30] Take your chance anyhow wid
[00:02:32] Maginnis
[00:02:33] As the howling young cub ran away to the scrub
[00:02:36] Where he knew that pursuit would be risky
[00:02:39] The priest as he fled flung a flask at his head
[00:02:42] That was labelled
[00:02:43] Maginnis's Whisky
[00:02:47] And Maginnis Magee has been made a J P
[00:02:50] And the one thing he hates more than sin is
[00:02:53] To be asked by the folk who have heard of the joke
[00:02:56] How he came to be christened
[00:02:58] Maginnis
