《E. Watson》歌词

[00:00:00] E. Watson - The Decemberists (十二月党)

[00:00:10] The air all painted pallid gray

[00:00:13] The storm was coming in

[00:00:16] Folks were lining out in all directions

[00:00:21] Me and Holt and Henry Short

[00:00:23] Were pitching on the skiff

[00:00:26] Trying to make it home before the night

[00:00:31] The gray waves were rolling

[00:00:36] Bold the brave brave ocean

[00:00:39] And rolled us suckers in

[00:00:46] Well I don't keep to goings on

[00:00:48] I tend to stick with kin

[00:00:51] Watson had it in from the beginning

[00:00:56] Built that house on Chatham Bend

[00:00:58] Who I washed knotted pine

[00:01:01] Ninety acres furrowed for the cane

[00:01:06] Drove it down from Georgia

[00:01:11] His dad a martyred soldier

[00:01:15] War between the states

[00:01:21] Lord bring down the flood

[00:01:29] Wash away the blood

[00:01:36] Drown these everglades

[00:01:39] And put us in our place

[00:01:41] We laid Edgar Watson in his grave

[00:01:48] We laid him in his grave

[00:01:59] 'Til I'm dust I'll never know

[00:02:02] Why he came ashore with all those killers

[00:02:06] Gathered on the shoreline

[00:02:10] Kicking holes in ugly mud

[00:02:12] With trigger fingers pinched

[00:02:15] Brace of rifles bristled in the wind

[00:02:19] We towed his body northbound

[00:02:25] Buried him all face down

[00:02:28] The good view in the hell

[00:02:35] Lord bring down the flood

[00:02:43] Wash away the blood

[00:02:50] Drown these Everglades

[00:02:52] And put us in our place

[00:02:55] We laid Edgar Watson in his grave

[00:03:02] We laid him in his grave

[00:03:07] We laid him in his grave

[00:03:12] Laid him in his grave
