《Lord baker (ft christy moore)》歌词

[00:00:00] Lord Baker - Sinéad O'Connor (西尼德·奥康娜)

[00:00:08] There was a Lord who lived in this land

[00:00:15] He being a Lord of high degree

[00:00:24] He left his foot down a ship's board

[00:00:32] And swore strange countries he would go see

[00:00:42] He's travelled east and he's travelled west

[00:00:52] Half the north and the south also

[00:01:00] Until he arrived into Turkey land

[00:01:08] There he was taken and bound in prison

[00:01:17] Until his life it grew weary

[00:01:27] And Turkey bold had one only daughter

[00:01:36] As fair a lady as the eye could see

[00:01:45] She stole the key to her Daddy's harbour

[00:01:53] And swore Lord Baker she would set free

[00:02:02] Singing 'You have houses and you have linen

[00:02:11] All Northumber belongs to thee

[00:02:20] What would you give to Turkey's daughter

[00:02:28] If out of prison she'd set you free '

[00:02:37] Singing 'I have houses I have linen

[00:02:46] All Northumber belongs to me

[00:02:54] I would will them all to you my darling

[00:03:03] If out of prison you set me free '

[00:03:12] She's brought him down to her Daddy's harbour

[00:03:22] And filled for him was the ship of fame

[00:03:31] And every toast that she did drink round him

[00:03:39] 'I wish Lord Baker that you were mine '

[00:03:52] They made a vow for seven years

[00:04:01] And seven more for to keep it strong

[00:04:08] Saying 'If you don't wed with no other woman

[00:04:17] I'm sure I'll wed with no other man '

[00:04:26] And seven years been past and over

[00:04:36] And seven more they were rolling on

[00:04:45] She's bundled up all her golden clothing

[00:04:53] And swore Lord Baker she would go find

[00:05:03] She's travelled East and she's travelled West

[00:05:12] Until she came to the palace of fame

[00:05:20] 'Who is that who is that ' called the young foot soldier

[00:05:29] 'Who knocks so gently and can't get in '

[00:05:39] 'Is this Lord Baker's palace ' replied the lady

[00:05:50] 'Or is his lordship himself within '

[00:05:59] 'This is Lord Baker's palace' replied the porter

[00:06:08] 'This very day took a new bride in '

[00:06:22] 'Well ask him send me a cut of his wedding cake

[00:06:31] A glass of his wine that been e'er so strong

[00:06:40] And to remember the brave young lady

[00:06:49] Who did release him in Turkey land '

[00:07:00] In goes in goes the young foot soldier

[00:07:10] Kneels down gently on his right knee

[00:07:18] 'Rise up rise up now the brave young porter

[00:07:27] What news what news have you got for me '

[00:07:36] Singing 'I have news of a grand arrival

[00:07:46] As fair a lady as the eye could see

[00:07:55] She is at the gate

[00:07:57] Waiting for your charity '

[00:08:05] 'She wears a gold ring on every finger

[00:08:15] And on the middle one where she wears three

[00:08:23] She has more gold hanging around her middle

[00:08:31] Than'd buy Northumber and family '

[00:08:41] 'She asked you send her a cut of your wedding cake

[00:08:50] A glass of your wine it been e'er so strong

[00:08:59] And to remember the brave young lady

[00:09:07] Who did release you in Turkey land '

[00:09:23] Down comes down comes the new bride's mother

[00:09:31] 'What will I do with my daughter dear '

[00:09:42] 'I know your daughter she's not been covered

[00:09:52] Nor has she shown any love for me

[00:10:00] Your daughter came with one pack of gold

[00:10:08] I'll avert her home now with thirty-three '

[00:10:18] He took his sword all by the handle

[00:10:27] And cut the wedding cake in pieces three

[00:10:36] Singing 'here's a slice for the new bride's mother

[00:10:44] A slice for me new love and one for me '

[00:10:52] And then Lord Baker ran to his darling

[00:11:02] Of twenty-one steps he made but three

[00:11:11] He put his arms around Turkey's daughter

[00:11:19] And kissed his true love most tenderly
