 Murder, Misery And Then Goodnight » Lyrics [+ Lisätä +] |
1. _ Little Birdy
Little birdy, little birdy
What makes you fly so high?
It's because i am a birdy
And i'm not afraid to die
Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
I've a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone
Little birdy, little birdy
What makes your wing so blue?
It's because i've been a-grievin'
Grievin' after you
Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
I've a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone
Little birdy, little birdy
What makes your head so red?
After all that i have been through
It's a wonder i ain't dead
Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
I've a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone

3. _ Pretty Polly
Polly, pretty polly, come go along with me
Polly, pretty polly, come go along with me
Before we get married some pleasure to see
She got up behind him and away they did go
She got up behind him and away they did go
Over the hills to the valley so low
They went up a little farther and what did they spy?
They went up a little farther and what did they spy?
A newly dug grave with a spade lying by
He stabbed her through the heart
Her heart's blood it did flow
He stabbed her through the heart
Her heart's blood it did flow
And into the grave pretty polly did go
He threw something over her and turned to go home
He threw something over her and turned to go home
With nothing behind him but the girl there to mourn

5. _ Poor Ellen Smith
Come all you kind people, my story to hear
What happened to me in june of this year
It was poor ellen smith
And how she was found with a ball in her heart
Lying cold on the ground
If i could go home, home to stay
On poor ellen's grave, some flowers i would lay
It was poor ellen smith
And how she was found with a ball in her heart
Lying cold on the ground
I come back this winter, my trial to stand
To live or to die as the law may command
It was poor ellen smith
And how she was found with a ball in her heart
Lying cold on the ground
It's true i'm in jail, i'm a prisoner now
But god is here with me and hears ever vow
It was poor ellen smith
And how she was found with a ball in her heart
Lying cold on the ground

6. _ Banks Of The Ohio
My love asked me, to take a walk
Just to walk, a little way
And as we walked along we talked
Of when would be our wedding day
We walked beneath the whispering pines
His heart was filled with love divine
And as we neared the riverside
He asked me when i'd be his bride
Oh no your bride, i'll never be
Another one's prepared for me
And as i drew my hand from his
His heart was filled with fire divine
He drew his knife across my breast
And in his arms i gently pressed
Willy dear, don't murder me
For i am not prepared to die
He took me by my golden curls
He drug me down to the riverside
And as he threw me into drown
He watched me as i floated down
He started home 'tween twelve and one
Thinking on the deed he'd done
Murdered just the one he loved
Because i would not be his bride

7. _ I Never Will Marry
One day as i rambled down by the seashore
The wind it did whistle and the water did roar
I heard a young girl make a pitiful sound
As she closed her pretty blue eyes
In the water to drown
I never will marry, i'll be no man's wife
I will live single all the day's of my life
The shells in the ocean will be my deathbed
The fish in deep water swim over my head
My love's gone and left me
He's the one i adore
He's gone and i never shall see him anymore
She plunged her dear body in the water so deep
She closed her pretty blue eyes in the water to sleep
I never will marry, i'll be no man's wife
I will live single all the day's of my life
The shells in the ocean will be my deathbed
The fish in deep water swim over my head

8. _ Fly Around My Blue Eyed Girl
Fly around my blue-eyed girl
Fly around my daisy
Fly around my blue-eyed girl
You almost run me crazy
If you get there before i do,
Tell her if you please
Before she goes to make her bread
Roll up her dirty sleeves
Fly around my blue-eyed girl
Fly around my daisy
Fly around my blue-eyed girl
You almost run me crazy
I wish i had some pretty little gal
To tell my secrets to
To heck with all deceitful gals
Tell everything i do
Fly around my blue-eyed girl
Fly around my daisy
Fly around my blue-eyed girl
You almost run me crazy
Fly around my blue-eyed girl
Fly around my daisy
Fly around my blue-eyed girl
You almost run me crazy

9. _ What'll We Do With The Baby-o
What'll we do with the baby?
What'll we do with the baby-o?
Send him off to his mammy
That's what we do with the baby-o
That's what we do with the baby
That's what we do with the baby-o
Every time the baby cries
Stick my finger in the babies eyes
That's what we do with the baby
That's what we do with the baby-o
Every time he starts to grin
Give the baby a bottle of gin
That's what we do with the baby
That's what we do with the baby-o
What'll we do with the baby?
What'll we do with the baby-o?
Send him off to his mammy
That's what we do with the baby-o
That's what we do with the baby
That's what we do with the baby-o
Throw him up in the old treetop
The wind will blow and the cradle will rock
That's what we do with the baby
That's what we do with the baby-o
Wrap him up in a tablecloth
Throw him up in the old hayloft
That's what we do with the baby
That's what we do with the baby-o
What'll we do with the baby?
What'll we do with the baby-o?
Send him off to his mammy
That's what we do with the baby-o
That's what we do with the baby
That's what we do with the baby-o

10. _ Three Nights Drunk
[one, two , three!]
The first night that i come home
So drunk i could not see
Found a horse in my stable
Where my horse oughta be
Come here my little wifey
Explain this thing to me
How come a horse in the stable
Where my horse oughta be?
You blind fool, you crazy fool
Can't you never see?
It's only a milkcow
You're granny sent to me
I've traveled this world over
Ten thousand miles or more
But a saddle upon a milkcow's back
I never did see before
The second night that i come home
So drunk i could not see
Found a coat a-hanging on the rack
Where my coat oughta be
Come here my little wifey
Explain this thing to me
How come a coat a hanging a hanging on the rack
Where my coat oughta be?
You blind fool, you crazy fool
Can't you never see?
It's only a bedquilt
You're granny sent to me
I've traveled this world over
Ten thousand miles or more
Pockets upon a bedquilt
I never did see before
The third night that i come home
So drunk i could not see
Found a head a-laying on the pillow
Where my head oughta be
Come here my little wifey
Explain this thing to me
How come a head a-laying on the pillow
Where my head oughta be?
You blind fool, you crazy fool
Can't you never see?
It's only a cabbage head
You're granny sent to me
I've traveled this world over
Ten thousand miles or more
But a moustache on a cabbage head
I never did see before

Go to sleep, go to sleep
Go to sleep little baby
When you wake, right away
On the pretty little horses
Black and bay
Sorrel and gray
Whole heap of little horses
Black and gray

Whole heap of little horses
Go to sleep, go to sleep
Go to sleep little baby

12. _ Down In The Willow Garden
Down in the willow garden
Where me and my love did meet
There we sat a courtin'
My love dropped off to sleep
I drank a bottle of burgundy wine
My love she did not know
And there i poisoned that dear little girl
Under the flank below
I stabbed her with my dagger
An ugly bloody knife
I threw her into the river
An ugly bloody sight
My father up and told me
That money would set me free
If i would murder thar deal little girl
Whose name was rose connelly
And now he sits by the window
Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes
And now he waits for his own dear son
Upon the scaffold high
My race is run, beneath the sun
Hell is waiting for me
For i did murder that dear little girl
Whose name was rose connelly
