《Jim Jones》歌词

[00:00:02] Jim Jones-Bob Dylan

[00:00:04] Come and listen for a moment lads

[00:00:06] And hear me tell my tale

[00:00:09] How across the sea from England

[00:00:13] I was condemned to sail

[00:00:17] Now the jury found me guilty

[00:00:21] Then says the judge says he

[00:00:25] "Oh for life Jim Jones I'm sending you

[00:00:30] Across the stormy sea

[00:00:32] But take a tip before you ship

[00:00:39] To join the iron gang

[00:00:42] Don't get too gay in Botany Bay

[00:00:47] Or else you'll surely hang

[00:00:50] Or else you'll surely hang" says he

[00:00:54] "And after that Jim Jones

[00:00:57] It's high above on the gallows tree

[00:01:01] The crows will pick your bones"

[00:01:04] And our ship was high upon the sea

[00:01:19] When pirates came along

[00:01:20] But the soldiers on our convict ship

[00:01:26] Were full five hundred strong

[00:01:30] For they opened fire and somehow drove

[00:01:33] That pirate ship away

[00:01:35] But I'd rather have joined that pirate ship

[00:01:41] Than gone to Botany Bay

[00:01:43] With the storms ragin' round us

[00:01:49] And the winds a-blowin' gale

[00:01:52] I'd rather have drowned in misery

[00:01:57] Than gone to New South Wales

[00:02:01] There's no time for mischief there they say

[00:02:05] Remember that says they

[00:02:07] Or they'll flog the poaching out of you

[00:02:12] Down there in Botany Bay

[00:02:15] Now it's day and night and the irons clang

[00:02:29] And like poor galley slaves

[00:02:32] We toil and toil and when we die

[00:02:37] Must fill dishonored graves

[00:02:39] And it's by and by I'll slip my chains

[00:02:44] Well into the bush I'll go

[00:02:47] And I'll join the bravest rankers there

[00:02:51] Jack Donohue and co

[00:02:53] And some dark night when everything

[00:02:57] Is silent in the town

[00:03:00] I'll shoot those tyrants one and all

[00:03:05] I'll gun the floggers down

[00:03:08] Oh I'll give the land a little shock

[00:03:13] Remember what I say

[00:03:15] They'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones

[00:03:20] In chains to Botany Bay
