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

Written by：Traditional[00:00:01]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oh woman dearest woman[00:00:33]

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

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

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

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

With swords gleaming on[00:00:51]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They were riding along[00:01:35]

Faster they could ride[00:01:37]

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

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

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

With swords gleaming on[00:01:52]

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

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

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

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

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

Afraid of any three[00:02:10]

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

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

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

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

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

People all passing by[00:02:32]

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

Oh poor Johnstone die[00:02:41]
