《Marrowbones》歌词

[00:00:00] Marrowbones - Steeleye Span

[00:00:28] There was a woman in our town and in our town did dwell

[00:00:32] She loved her husband dearly but another man twice as well

[00:00:37] And sing Folder oh la la la

[00:00:42] She went down to the doctor to see if she could find

[00:00:46] Anything in the whole world to make her old man blind

[00:00:51] And sing Folder oh la la la

[00:00:56] Oh take him sixteen marrowbones and make him eat them all

[00:01:00] And when he's finished he'll be so blind that he won't see you at all

[00:01:05] And sing Folder oh la la la

[00:01:09] So the doctor he wrote a letter and he sealed it with his hand

[00:01:14] And he sent it up to the old man to make him understand

[00:01:17] And sing Folder oh la la la

[00:01:23] But the old man being a crafty bugger he knew it all before

[00:01:27] He ate them up and he says : 'Me dear I can't see you at all'

[00:01:32] And sing Folder oh la la la

[00:02:05] Says he : 'I'll go to the river and there meself I'll drown'

[00:02:08] Says she : 'I'll walk along with you to see that you don't fall down'

[00:02:14] And sing Folder oh la la la

[00:02:19] They walked along together till they come to the river's brim

[00:02:23] So gently there she's kissed him and she crept away behind

[00:02:28] And sing Folder oh la la la

[00:02:32] She ran and she ran behind him to try to push him in

[00:02:36] But the old man heard and he jumped aside and she went tumbling in

[00:02:41] And sing Folder oh la la la

[00:03:14] So loudly she did holler and loud for mercy call

[00:03:18] But the old man says : 'I am so blind I can't see you at all'

[00:03:22] And sing Folder oh la la la

[00:03:27] She swam and she swam and she swam around till she came to the further brim

[00:03:31] But the old man got the barge pole and he pushed her further in

[00:03:36] And sing Folder oh la la la

[00:03:41] Oh it may take sixteen marrowbones to make your old man blind

[00:03:45] But if you want to murder him you must creep up close behind

[00:03:49] And sing Folder oh la la la
