《The Sick Note》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sick Note - The Dubliners

[00:00:09] Dear Sir I write this note to you

[00:00:11] To tell you of me plight

[00:00:14] And at the time of writing

[00:00:15] I am not a pretty sight;

[00:00:17] My body is all black and blue

[00:00:20] My face a deathly gray

[00:00:22] And I write this note to say

[00:00:25] Why Paddy's not at work today

[00:00:28] While working on the fourteenth floor

[00:00:31] Some bricks I had to clear;

[00:00:33] Now to throw them down from

[00:00:34] Such a height was not a good idea

[00:00:37] The foreman wasn't very pleased

[00:00:39] He beeing an awkward sod

[00:00:41] He said I'd have to cart them down

[00:00:43] The ladders in me hod

[00:00:46] Now clearing all these bricks

[00:00:48] By hand it was so very slow

[00:00:51] So I hoisted up a barrel

[00:00:53] And secured the rope below

[00:00:55] But in me haste to do the job

[00:00:58] I was to blind to see

[00:01:00] That a barrelful of building bricks

[00:01:02] Was heavier than me

[00:01:06] So when I untied the rope

[00:01:07] The barrel fell like lead

[00:01:09] And clinging tightly to the rope

[00:01:11] I started up instead

[00:01:14] Well I shot up like a rocket

[00:01:16] Till to my dismay I found

[00:01:19] That halfway up

[00:01:20] I met the bloody barrel comming down

[00:01:24] Well the barrel broke me shoulder

[00:01:26] As to the ground it sped

[00:01:28] And when I reached the top

[00:01:30] I banged the pully with my head

[00:01:33] Well I clung on tight through numbed

[00:01:35] Shock from this almighty blow

[00:01:38] And the barrel spilled out half

[00:01:39] The bricks fourteen floors below

[00:01:43] Now when these bricks had fallen

[00:01:45] From the barrel to the floor

[00:01:48] I then outweighed the barrel and

[00:01:50] So started down once more;

[00:01:53] Still clinging tightly to the rope

[00:01:55] I sped towards the ground

[00:01:57] And I landed on the brocken bricks

[00:01:59] That were all scattered round

[00:02:02] Well I lay there groaning on the ground

[00:02:05] I thougth I'd passed the worst

[00:02:08] When the barrel hit the pully-wheel

[00:02:10] And then the bottom burst

[00:02:12] Well a shower of bricks rained down on me

[00:02:15] I hadn't got a hope

[00:02:17] As I lay there moaning on the ground

[00:02:21] I let go of the bloody rope

[00:02:24] The barrel than being heavier

[00:02:26] It started down once more

[00:02:28] And landed right across me

[00:02:30] As I lay upon the floor

[00:02:34] Well it broke three ribs

[00:02:35] And my left arm and I can only say

[00:02:40] That I hope you'll understand

[00:02:42] Why Paddy's not at work today
