《The Slant》歌词

[00:00:00] The Slant - Augie March

[00:00:52] Pity the boy in front of me

[00:00:54] He was only 16

[00:00:57] Lifted up my axe then down

[00:01:00] Split his head like a cord of wood

[00:01:03] Not for me the huon pine

[00:01:06] Not for me the ankle iron

[00:01:09] A'resting in the rope'll do me fine

[00:01:18] So they sent me down to Bellerive

[00:01:22] Strung me up to my relief

[00:01:24] I was just a petty thief

[00:01:26] Of no account no import

[00:01:30] Send my love to my sister

[00:01:33] In the Female Factory

[00:01:36] Remind her of the day when we drank wine

[00:02:11] May a slant of winter light

[00:02:14] Break upon my stone before the night

[00:02:17] Ushers in the chill

[00:02:19] I have no sight I have no sight

[00:02:26] But did they pave the streets of Hobart town

[00:02:30] Lop the old wood forests down

[00:02:32] For the press of King and Crown

[00:02:35] For honey

[00:02:39] Did they pave the streets of Hobart town

[00:02:42] Lop the old wood forests down

[00:02:45] For the press of King and Crown

[00:02:47] For honey

[00:02:51] Milk and honey

[00:02:54] My arse
