The Curse - The Longest Johns.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : David Robinson
[00:02.350]A young boy I was, barely out of my home
[00:05.455]I stepped to the world with a meaning to roam
[00:08.640]I signed with a captain who promised me gold
[00:11.750]And adventure to quicken the heart of the bold
[00:14.750]For fourteen odd years I did struggle alone
[00:18.000]For the cause I worked my fingers down to the bone
[00:21.255]Saw nought but the scuppers, saw nought of my pay
[00:24.590]Then was cast off and sent on my way
[00:27.280]Ho!
[00:27.795]A curse upon you, sorrow, fall thick and fast!
[00:31.060]Your days have been numbered
[00:32.735]each hour your last
[00:34.440]May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole
[00:40.025]And fore'er ne'er forget what you stole
[00:43.985]I found me some cohorts, the bravest and true
[00:47.225]No captain was prouder to call such men crew
[00:50.395]They could rally a cry and the battle was won
[00:53.530]I'd face off a cannon if they but looked on
[00:56.655]The mutinous dogs bound my hands while I slept
[00:59.790]Swapped their honour for treasures and gold that we kept
[01:03.010]Threw me over the side with all kindness I'd shown
[01:06.190]Now I've vowed to sail always alone!
[01:08.855]Ho!
[01:09.430]A curse upon you, sorrow, fall thick and fast!
[01:12.785]Your days have been numbered
[01:14.415]each hour your last
[01:16.120]May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole
[01:21.750]And fore'er ne'er forget what you stole
[01:25.685]I met a fair maiden one round upon shore
[01:28.900]I fell for her smile as I'd ne'er done before
[01:32.160]I pledged her my world for as long as I lived
[01:35.270]I'd have offered her more if I had more to give
[01:38.270]My pockets she emptied, still I offered the rest
[01:41.590]She obliged and then ripped out the heart from my chest
[01:44.990]She set me adrift free to float to world's end
[01:48.330]With a bottle as my only friend!
[01:50.990]Ho!
[01:51.630]A curse upon you, sorrow, fall thick and fast!
[01:54.850]Your days have been numbered
[01:56.490]each hour your last
[01:58.190]May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you whole
[02:03.840]And fore'er ne'er forget what you stole
[02:07.525]Now maybe there's some of you wondering hence
[02:10.685]Not all parts of my life fit together with sense
[02:14.020]If these are your thoughts allow me to explain
[02:17.100]Listen close now for I will not say it again
[02:20.315]I curse you yourself with the doubts that you've shown
[02:23.630]For this is my life and I've made it my own
[02:26.870]Walk your path and you'll have your own stories in time
[02:30.220]To that day I shall drink just to mine
[02:32.950]Ho!
[02:33.570]A curse upon you, sorrow, fall thick and fast!
[02:36.870]Your days have been numbered
[02:38.545]each hour your last
[02:40.260]May the land, sea or sky turn to swallow you
[02:44.550]Whole
[02:47.680]And fore'er ne'er forget what you stole
