《Sam’S Sturgeon》歌词

[00:00:05] Sam Small were fishing in canal

[00:00:08] Twixt Manchester and Sale

[00:00:10] He hadn't had a bite all day

[00:00:12] And nought to sup but ale

[00:00:14] Then all at once his fishing line

[00:00:16] Went rushing out like mad

[00:00:18] By gum cried Sam I've got a bite

[00:00:21] So by gum he'ad

[00:00:24] He tugged and tugged and better tugged

[00:00:27] His line it rose and sank

[00:00:29] Then fish gave one last dying gasp

[00:00:32] And dropped stone dead on t'bank

[00:00:36] Then a policeman bustled up

[00:00:38] On feet both large and flat

[00:00:40] He looked at Sam he looked at fish

[00:00:43] And saidEe who done that

[00:00:47] It's just a sort of fish said Sam

[00:00:49] I'm taking home to tea

[00:00:52] Tha's not said policeman That tha's not

[00:00:54] It don't belong to thee

[00:00:56] It's what they call a Sturgeon Sam

[00:00:59] That fish belongs to King

[00:01:02] So take it up the Palace lad

[00:01:04] As fast as anything

[00:01:06] Sam stooped and picked the Sturgeon up

[00:01:09] Well knowing who was boss

[00:01:11] And ran to station where he bought

[00:01:13] Two tickets for King's Cross

[00:01:16] When Sam reached London Town

[00:01:18] The crowd all raised a cheering cry

[00:01:22] The traffic parted left and right

[00:01:24] To let that Sturgeon by

[00:01:27] The Palace sentry haughty like

[00:01:29] Said What might be your wish

[00:01:32] But when he saw what Sam had brought

[00:01:35] He cried Pass Royal fish

[00:01:39] Sam knocked at door and servant girl

[00:01:41] Said Step inside the hall

[00:01:44] The King and Queen is out says she

[00:01:47] But not for thee Sam Small

[00:01:50] And so with Sturgeon in his arms

[00:01:52] Sam tramped up corridor

[00:01:54] He trailed along some passages

[00:01:57] And knocked at parlour door

[00:01:59] Come in says King So Sam went in

[00:02:03] With Royal fish and all

[00:02:05] Why dash me buttons cries the King

[00:02:08] If it isn't old Sam Small

[00:02:11] That's me said Sam and ere's a fish

[00:02:14] Our policeman said were thine

[00:02:16] A Sturgeon caught in Ship Canal

[00:02:19] With rod and hook and line

[00:02:21] Well well said King come sit thee down

[00:02:25] That must be fair done up

[00:02:28] We just were going to have us teas

[00:02:30] That'll stay and have a cup

[00:02:33] Thanks King said Sam and takes a seat

[00:02:35] With fish upon his knee

[00:02:37] Nay put that thing on sofa Sam

[00:02:40] Says King And have thy tea

[00:02:44] Now what about this fish asks Sam

[00:02:46] But King he whispers low

[00:02:49] I'm going to tell thee something Sam

[00:02:52] But don't let policeman know

[00:02:55] I hate to show ingratitude

[00:02:57] And please don't think me mean

[00:02:59] But I never did like Sturgeon Sam

[00:03:03] Nor come to that does Queen

[00:03:05] To eat the stuff we hate so much

[00:03:08] Well Sam we find it hard

[00:03:10] So we hand em to the Chamberlain

[00:03:12] Who stacks them in back yard

[00:03:15] Just thee look out that window Sam

[00:03:17] And see where t'Sturgeons go

[00:03:20] Sam looked at yard and saw e'm all

[00:03:23] In thousands in a row

[00:03:26] It's champion seeing thee again

[00:03:29] But Sam twixt me and thee

[00:03:32] I can't stand Sturgeons

[00:03:34] But I love a kipper to me tea

[00:03:38] Now fancy that says Sam by gum

[00:03:41] Why them's my favourite fish

[00:03:44] And then the Queen came smiling in

[00:03:47] With kippers on the dish

[00:03:49] Do you know Sam Small my dear says King

[00:03:52] Queen says 'Why yes yes yes

[00:03:56] Just touch the bell and tell our James

[00:04:00] To bring more watercress

[00:04:02] Think on says King when tea were done

[00:04:05] And Sam got up to go

[00:04:08] Kippers is what I like for tea

[00:04:10] But don't let policeman know

[00:04:14] So Sam went home to Lancashire

[00:04:16] And said a silent prayer

[00:04:19] With blessings on the kippered fish

[00:04:23] Long live the Royal Pair
