《The Poor Murdered Woman》歌词

[00:00:00] It was Yankee the squire

[00:00:03] As I've heard the men say

[00:00:06] Who rode out a 'huntin' on one Saturday

[00:00:12] They hunted all day but nothing they found

[00:00:18] But a poor murdered woman

[00:00:21] Laid on the cold ground

[00:00:28] About eight o'clock boys the dogs

[00:00:32] They throwed off

[00:00:34] On Leatherhead Common

[00:00:37] And that was the spot

[00:00:39] They tried all the bushes but nothing they found

[00:00:45] But a poor murdered woman

[00:00:48] Laid on the cold ground

[00:00:56] They mounted their horses

[00:00:58] And they rode off the ground

[00:01:01] They rode to the village

[00:01:04] And alarmed it all around

[00:01:07] It is late in the evening I'm sorry to say

[00:01:13] She cannot be removed until the next day

[00:01:23] The next Sunday morning about eight o'clock

[00:01:29] Some hundreds of people

[00:01:31] To the spot they did flock

[00:01:34] For to see the poor creature

[00:01:37] Your hearts would have bled

[00:01:40] Some cold-hearted violence

[00:01:43] Came into their heads

[00:01:50] She was took off the common

[00:01:53] And down to some inn

[00:01:56] And the man that has kept it

[00:01:59] His name is John Simms

[00:02:02] The coroner was sent for the jury they pined

[00:02:07] And soon they concluded and settled their mind

[00:02:45] Her coffin was brought in it she was laid

[00:02:51] And took to the churchyard

[00:02:54] This cold winter day

[00:02:57] No father no mother no long friend untold

[00:03:03] Came to see the poor creature

[00:03:06] Laid under the cold

[00:03:13] So now I'll conclude and I'll finish my song

[00:03:19] And those that have damage

[00:03:21] Shall find themselves wrong

[00:03:24] The last day of Judgement

[00:03:27] The trumpet shall sound

[00:03:30] And their souls not in heaven

[00:03:33] I'm afraid won't be found
