[00:00:00] The Three Butchers - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:01] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:02] Johnstone he was riding along

[00:00:05] As fast as he could ride

[00:00:10] When he thought he heard a woman

[00:00:13] He heard a woman cry

[00:00:18] Johnstone getting off his horse

[00:00:21] Searching the woods all round

[00:00:25] When he came upon a woman

[00:00:28] With her hair bent to the ground

[00:00:33] Oh woman dearest woman

[00:00:36] Who brought you here for this far

[00:00:40] Who that brought you here this morning

[00:00:44] With her hair bent to the ground

[00:00:48] It was three bold and struggling men

[00:00:51] With swords gleaming on

[00:00:55] Who that brought me here this morning

[00:01:00] With me hair pinned to the ground

[00:01:05] Johnstone being a man of his own

[00:01:08] Being a man and bold

[00:01:11] He taken off his soldiers cloak

[00:01:14] To cover her from the cold

[00:01:18] Johnstone getting on his horse

[00:01:20] The woman gets on behind

[00:01:23] They then rode down that lonesome highway

[00:01:28] Their fortune for to find

[00:01:35] They were riding along

[00:01:37] Faster they could ride

[00:01:41] When she blown her fingers to her lips

[00:01:45] And gave three shivering cries

[00:01:49] Out sprang three bold and strugling men

[00:01:52] With swords gleaming on

[00:01:56] Who let them on the Johnstone

[00:02:00] And commanded him to stand

[00:02:02] I will stop stand said Johnstone

[00:02:05] I'll stop then said he

[00:02:07] For I never was in all of my life

[00:02:10] Afraid of any three

[00:02:13] Johnstone killing two of them

[00:02:15] Not watching the woman behind

[00:02:19] While he was after the other one

[00:02:23] She stabbed him from behind

[00:02:29] They were free and a market day

[00:02:32] People all passing by

[00:02:36] Could that saw then this awful murder

[00:02:41] Oh poor Johnstone die
