《Matty》歌词

[00:00:02] Matty - Christy Moore

[00:00:13] Matty went out on a frozen night

[00:00:15] Making heading for the pub his shoulders hunched up tight

[00:00:18] His head down on the railroad track

[00:00:21] And his old cow Delia sad lowin' him back

[00:00:25] He met with a dark and troubled man

[00:00:28] As he passed him by called back at him

[00:00:31] Hey Matty can't you see what's become of me

[00:00:34] In this country of the blind

[00:00:37] The house I've left is dead to me

[00:00:41] To me rhyming and my poetry

[00:00:44] All I've got is the beat of the stagger

[00:00:47] Heading down the Curragh Line

[00:00:51] But Matty passed on as quick as he could

[00:00:54] He couldn't stand such a crooked man sober

[00:00:57] All he wanted was the lights of the bar

[00:00:59] The Nightingale and the Wild Rover.

[00:01:04] When he came in

[00:01:05] They were sayin he was back

[00:01:07] OH did Delia drive you out

[00:01:08] With your spoutin' and your swearin'?

[00:01:10] We don't want to hear about Bunker Hayden

[00:01:13] Maybe you'll sing us the Girls of Kinkane.

[00:01:33] The fear an ti eyed him steadily

[00:01:36] As he handed him a pint of porter

[00:01:38] You must have seen the bishop's ghost tonight

[00:01:41] To put the dry look back in your eye.

[00:01:45] But Matty would not be taken in

[00:01:48] By their jibin' and their regalin'

[00:01:51] He found himself a fresh blown crew

[00:01:54] And fell in with their sportin' and their bailin'.

[00:01:58] As he was going home, in that very same spot

[00:02:01] He met his dark familiar

[00:02:05] He seen him comin' back down the line

[00:02:08] And he was bright and strange and fine.

[00:02:12] As he passed him by Matty threw out his arms

[00:02:16] Trying to grab hold of his likeness

[00:02:18] In the morning they found his frozen corpse

[00:02:21] And the butt of Curragh Line.

[00:02:26] And at the wake

[00:02:27] They were lashin' down

[00:02:28] The drops of brandy

[00:02:32] The old fashioned habit

[00:02:34] In the church they were lashin' down pounds and fivers

[00:02:36] So Matty would be fine in the old by and by.
