A Cautionary Song (Live) - Colin Meloy (梅洛伊科林·帕特里克·亨利)[00:00:00]

Written by：Colin Meloy[00:00:01]

There's a place your mother goes[00:00:32]

When everybody else is soundly sleeping[00:00:34]

Through the lights of beacon street[00:00:42]

And if you listen you can hear her weeping[00:00:44]

She's weeping[00:00:50]

'Cause the gentlemen are calling[00:00:54]

And the snow is softly falling on her petticoat[00:00:57]

And she's standing in the harbor[00:01:04]

And she's waiting for the sailors in the Jolly boat[00:01:07]

See how they approach[00:01:12]

With dirty hands and trousers torn[00:01:17]

They grapple till she's safe within their keeping[00:01:20]

A gag is placed between her lips[00:01:27]

To keep her sorry tongue from any speaking[00:01:30]

Or screaming[00:01:34]

And they row her out to packets[00:01:38]

Where the sailors' sorry racket falls for maidenhead[00:01:41]

And she's scarce above the gunwales[00:01:48]

When her clothes fall to a bundle and she's laid in bed[00:01:51]

On the upper deck[00:01:55]

And[00:02:23]

So she goes from ship to ship[00:02:25]

Her ankles clasped her arms so rudely pinioned[00:02:27]

And 'till at last she's satisfied[00:02:34]

The lot of the marina's teeming minions[00:02:36]

In their opinions[00:02:40]

And they tell her not to say a thing[00:02:44]

To cousin kindred kith or kin or she'll end up dead[00:02:47]

And they throw her thirty dollars[00:02:53]

And return her to the harbor where she goes to bed[00:02:55]

And this is how you're fed[00:02:59]

So be kind to your mother[00:03:04]

Though she may seem an awful bother[00:03:10]

And the next time she tries to feed you collard greens[00:03:16]

Remember what she does when you're asleep[00:03:26]
