《Skewbald》歌词

[00:00:00] Skewbald - Martin Carthy

[00:00:38] You gallant sportsmen all

[00:00:41] Come listen to me story

[00:00:43] Of the bold Skewbald that noble racing pony

[00:00:48] Arthur Marvel was the man

[00:00:50] Who has brought the Skewbald over

[00:00:52] He's a diamond in the land

[00:00:55] And he rolls around in clover

[00:01:01] These horses were brought out with saddle

[00:01:04] Whip and bridle

[00:01:06] And the gentlemen did shout

[00:01:08] When they saw the noble rider

[00:01:11] And there's some did shout hooray

[00:01:13] As the air was thick with curses

[00:01:16] On the grey Griselda sportsmen laid their purses

[00:01:37] Now the trumpet it did sound

[00:01:39] They shot off like an arrow

[00:01:41] Scarcely touched the ground

[00:01:43] Where the going it was narrow

[00:01:46] Then Griselda passed him by

[00:01:49] As the gentlemen did holler

[00:01:51] Oh the grey will win the day

[00:01:53] And the Skewbald he will follow

[00:01:59] But halfway round the track up

[00:02:02] Spoke the noble rider

[00:02:04] I fear we must fall back

[00:02:06] For she's going like a tiger

[00:02:09] Up spoke the noble horse

[00:02:11] Ride on ride on me master

[00:02:13] For we're halfway round the track

[00:02:15] And it's now we'll see who's faster

[00:02:35] So swiftly o'er the grass

[00:02:37] Skewbald flew like lightning

[00:02:39] So swiftly o'er the grass

[00:02:41] That the grey mare she was taken

[00:02:44] Ride on my noble horse

[00:02:47] For the good two hundred guineas

[00:02:49] Oh your saddle shall be of gold

[00:02:51] When we pick up our winnings

[00:02:57] Way past the winning post

[00:02:59] Skewbald won so handy

[00:03:02] And horse and rider both called

[00:03:04] For sherry wine and brandy

[00:03:07] And it's there they drank

[00:03:08] The health of the gallant Miss Griselda

[00:03:11] And all who lost their money on

[00:03:13] The sporting plains of Kildare
