E. Watson - The Decemberists (十二月党)[00:00:00]

The air all painted pallid gray[00:00:10]

The storm was coming in[00:00:13]

Folks were lining out in all directions[00:00:16]

Me and Holt and Henry Short[00:00:21]

Were pitching on the skiff[00:00:23]

Trying to make it home before the night[00:00:26]

The gray waves were rolling[00:00:31]

Bold the brave brave ocean[00:00:36]

And rolled us suckers in[00:00:39]

Well I don't keep to goings on[00:00:46]

I tend to stick with kin[00:00:48]

Watson had it in from the beginning[00:00:51]

Built that house on Chatham Bend[00:00:56]

Who I washed knotted pine[00:00:58]

Ninety acres furrowed for the cane[00:01:01]

Drove it down from Georgia[00:01:06]

His dad a martyred soldier[00:01:11]

War between the states[00:01:15]

Lord bring down the flood[00:01:21]

Wash away the blood[00:01:29]

Drown these everglades[00:01:36]

And put us in our place[00:01:39]

We laid Edgar Watson in his grave[00:01:41]

We laid him in his grave[00:01:48]

'Til I'm dust I'll never know[00:01:59]

Why he came ashore with all those killers[00:02:02]

Gathered on the shoreline[00:02:06]

Kicking holes in ugly mud[00:02:10]

With trigger fingers pinched[00:02:12]

Brace of rifles bristled in the wind[00:02:15]

We towed his body northbound[00:02:19]

Buried him all face down[00:02:25]

The good view in the hell[00:02:28]

Lord bring down the flood[00:02:35]

Wash away the blood[00:02:43]

Drown these Everglades[00:02:50]

And put us in our place[00:02:52]

We laid Edgar Watson in his grave[00:02:55]

We laid him in his grave[00:03:02]

We laid him in his grave[00:03:07]

Laid him in his grave[00:03:12]
