《The Blind Harper》歌词

[00:00:00] The Blind Harper - Kate Rusby

[00:00:06] Have you heard of the blind harper

[00:00:09] Now he lived in Hogmaven town

[00:00:12] He went down to fair England

[00:00:15] To steal King Henry's wanton Brown

[00:00:18] First he went unto his wife

[00:00:20] With all the haste as go could he

[00:00:23] This work he said will never go well

[00:00:26] Without the help of our good grey mare

[00:00:30] Said she you take the good grey mare

[00:00:33] She'll run o'er hills both low and high

[00:00:36] Go take the halter in your hose

[00:00:39] And leave the foal at home with me

[00:00:42] He's up and went to England gone

[00:00:45] He went as fast as go could he

[00:00:48] And when he got to Carlisle gates

[00:00:50] Who should be there but King Henry

[00:00:55] Come in come in you blind harper

[00:00:57] And of your music let me hear

[00:01:01] But up and said the blind harper

[00:01:03] I'd rather have a stable for my mare

[00:01:08] The king looked over his left shoulder

[00:01:10] And he said unto his stable groom

[00:01:13] Go take the poor blind harper's mare

[00:01:15] And put her beside my wanton brown

[00:01:40] Then he's harped and then he sang

[00:01:43] Til he played them all so sound asleep

[00:01:46] And quietly he took off his shoes

[00:01:49] And down the stairs he did creep

[00:01:53] Straight to the stable door he's gone

[00:01:55] With a tread so light as light could be

[00:01:59] When he opened and went in

[00:02:01] He found thirty steeds and three

[00:02:06] He took the halter from his horse

[00:02:08] And from his purse he did not fail

[00:02:11] He slipped it over the wanton's nose

[00:02:13] And tied it to the grey mare's tail

[00:02:18] Then he let her loose at the castle gates

[00:02:20] She didn't fail to find her way

[00:02:23] She went back to her own colt foal

[00:02:26] Three long hours before the day

[00:02:31] Then in the morning at fair daylight

[00:02:33] When they had ended all their cheer

[00:02:36] Behold the wantong brown had gone

[00:02:39] So had the poor blind harper's mare

[00:02:43] Oh Alas said the blind harper

[00:02:45] Ever als that I came here

[00:02:48] In Scotland I've got a little colt foal

[00:02:51] In England they stole my good grey mare

[00:03:06] Hold your tongue said King Henry

[00:03:08] And all your mournings let them be

[00:03:11] You shall get a far better mare

[00:03:14] And well paid shall our colt foal be

[00:03:18] Again he harped and again he sang

[00:03:21] The sweetest music he let them hear

[00:03:24] He was paid for a foal that he never lost

[00:03:27] And three times worth the good grey mare

[00:03:38] He was paid for a foal that he never lost

[00:03:40] And three times worth the good grey mare
