《Uppards》歌词

[00:00:00] Up'ards - Stanley Holloway

[00:00:09] Twere getting dusk one winter's night

[00:00:12] When up the clough there came in sight

[00:00:14] A lad who carried through the snow

[00:00:17] A banner with this ere motto

[00:00:20] Up'ards

[00:00:25] His face was glum as he did pass

[00:00:28] His eyes were shiny just like glass

[00:00:31] And as he went upon his way

[00:00:33] He nobbut this ere word did say

[00:00:37] Upards

[00:00:40] And people sitting down to tea

[00:00:43] They heard him plan as plain can be

[00:00:46] They thowt twere final football score

[00:00:49] As this ere word rang out once more

[00:00:53] Upards

[00:00:57] A policeman on his lonely beat

[00:01:00] He stopped the lad up t end of t street

[00:01:02] He said Where't going wi that theer

[00:01:06] The lad just whispered in his ear

[00:01:09] Upards

[00:01:13] Don't go down t clough the policeman said

[00:01:16] It's mucky road for thee to tread

[00:01:19] Canal's at bottom deep and wide

[00:01:22] That's not my road the lad replied

[00:01:25] It's Up ards

[00:01:30] A young lass stopped him further up

[00:01:33] She said Come in wi me and sup

[00:01:36] He said I'm takin none o yon

[00:01:39] Besides I must be getting on

[00:01:42] Upards

[00:01:47] Next day some lads had just begun

[00:01:50] To tak' their whippets for a run

[00:01:53] When dogs got scratching in the snow

[00:01:56] And found flag with this ere motto

[00:01:59] Upards

[00:02:03] That set them digging all around

[00:02:06] And twasn't long before they found

[00:02:09] A lad whose name they never learned

[00:02:13] Whose face was white whose toes had turned

[00:02:18] Upards

[00:02:21] Twas very plain for to behold

[00:02:24] The lad had ta'en his death o cold

[00:02:27] He'd got his feet wet early on

[00:02:30] And from his feet the cold had gone

[00:02:33] Upards

[00:02:36] This story only goes to show

[00:02:40] That when the fields is white wi snow

[00:02:43] It's inadvisable to go

[00:02:47] Upards
