《The Lily of the West》歌词

[00:00:00] The Lily of the West - The Chieftains (酋长乐队)

[00:00:40] When first I came to Ireland

[00:00:45] Some pleasure for to find

[00:00:50] It's there I spied a damsel fair

[00:00:55] Most pleasing to my mind

[00:01:00] Her rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes

[00:01:05] Like arrows pierced my breast

[00:01:10] And they call her lovely Molly O'

[00:01:15] The lily of the west

[00:01:20] One day as I was walking down

[00:01:25] By a shady grove

[00:01:30] I spied a lord of high degree

[00:01:35] Conversing with my love

[00:01:39] She sang her song delightfully

[00:01:44] While I was sore oppressed

[00:01:49] Saying I bid adieu to Molly O'

[00:01:54] The lily of the west

[00:02:09] Well I stepped up with my rapier

[00:02:14] And my dagger in my hand

[00:02:19] And I dragged him from my false love

[00:02:24] And boldly did bid him stand

[00:02:29] But being mad with desperation

[00:02:34] I swore I'd pierce his breast

[00:02:39] I was then deceived by Molly O'

[00:02:44] The lily of the west

[00:03:29] I then did stand my trial and boldly

[00:03:36] I did plea

[00:03:39] A flaw was in my indictment found

[00:03:44] And that soon had me free

[00:03:49] That beauty bright I did adore

[00:03:54] The judge did her address

[00:03:59] Now go you faithless Molly O'

[00:04:04] The lily of the west

[00:04:09] Now that I've gained my liberty a-roaming

[00:04:15] I will go

[00:04:19] I'll ramble through old Ireland

[00:04:24] And travel Scotland o'er

[00:04:29] Though she thought to swear my life away

[00:04:34] She still disturbs my rest

[00:04:39] I still must style her Molly O'

[00:04:44] The lily of the west
