《Fighting For Strangers》歌词

[00:00:01] Fighting For Strangers - Steeleye Span

[00:00:23] What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers

[00:00:30] When you could be safe at home free from all dangers

[00:00:41] A recruiting sergeant came our way

[00:00:44] To an Inn nearby at the close of day

[00:00:48] He said young Johnny you're a fine young man

[00:00:50] Would you like to march along behind a military band

[00:00:54] With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat

[00:00:57] And a musket at your shoulder

[00:01:00] The shilling he took and he kissed the book

[00:01:03] Oh poor Johnny what will happen to ya

[00:01:10] The recruiting sergeant marched away

[00:01:13] From the Inn nearby at the break of day

[00:01:17] Johnny went too with half a ring

[00:01:20] He was off to be a soldier he'd be fighting for the King

[00:01:23] In a far off war in a far off land

[00:01:26] To face a foreign soldier

[00:01:29] But how will you fare when there's lead in the air

[00:01:33] Oh poor Johnny what'll happen to ya

[00:01:40] What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers

[00:01:46] When you could be safe at home free from all dangers

[00:01:57] The sun shone hot on a barren land

[00:02:00] As a thin red line took a military stand

[00:02:03] There was sling shot chain shot grape shot too

[00:02:07] Swords and bayonets thrusting through

[00:02:10] Poor Johnny fell but the day was won

[00:02:13] And the King is grateful to you

[00:02:16] But your soldiering's done and they're sending you home

[00:02:19] Oh poor Johnny what have they done to ya

[00:02:26] They said he was a hero and not to grieve

[00:02:29] Over two wooden pegs and empty sleeves

[00:02:33] They carried him home and set him down

[00:02:36] With a military pension and a medal from the crown

[00:02:39] You haven't an arm and you haven't a leg

[00:02:42] The enemy nearly slew you

[00:02:45] You'll have to go out on the streets to beg

[00:02:49] Oh poor Johnny what have they done to ya

[00:02:56] What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers

[00:03:02] When you could be safe at home free from all dangers

[00:03:11] What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers

[00:03:18] When you could be safe at home free from all dangers

[00:03:28] What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers

[00:03:34] When you could be safe at home free from all dangers
