[00:00:00] The Half-Hitch - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)
[00:00:07] A noble rich man in Plymouth did dwell
[00:00:10] He had but one daughter
[00:00:12] A beautiful girl
[00:00:14] A handsome young farmer
[00:00:16] With riches supplied
[00:00:18] He courted this fair
[00:00:19] Maid to make her his bride
[00:00:25] He courted her long
[00:00:26] And gained her love
[00:00:28] And then she intended
[00:00:30] This young man to prove
[00:00:33] When he asked her to marry
[00:00:34] She quickly replied
[00:00:36] And told him right off
[00:00:37] She would not be his bride
[00:00:41] He vowed then that home
[00:00:42] He quickly would steer
[00:00:45] And by a sad oath to her
[00:00:47] He did swear
[00:00:50] How he'd wed the first woman
[00:00:51] That ever he did see
[00:00:53] If she was as mean as a beggar could be
[00:00:58] She ordered her servants
[00:01:00] This man to delay
[00:01:02] Her jewels and rings
[00:01:04] She laid them away
[00:01:07] She put on the worst of old
[00:01:08] Rags she could find
[00:01:10] She looked like a teapot
[00:01:11] Before and behind
[00:01:15] She rubbed both her hands
[00:01:17] On the old chimney back
[00:01:19] And then blackened
[00:01:20] Her face from corner to crack
[00:01:23] Then around to the road
[00:01:24] She flew like witch
[00:01:26] With her petticoats
[00:01:27] Hoisted all on the half hitch
[00:01:31] The young man came riding
[00:01:32] And when he did see her
[00:01:34] He cried out alas for
[00:01:36] His oath he did fear
[00:01:39] But being so faithful
[00:01:41] To keep his words true
[00:01:42] He soon overtook her
[00:01:44] Saying Pray who are you
[00:01:47] I am a woman
[00:01:50] This answer did suit
[00:01:51] Him as well as the rest
[00:01:54] It lay very heavy
[00:01:55] And hard on his breast
[00:01:58] How can I bear for
[00:02:00] To make her my bride
[00:02:01] But still he did ask her
[00:02:03] Behind him to ride
[00:02:06] Your horse will throw me I know
[00:02:09] No he replied
[00:02:10] My horse he will not
[00:02:12] So then she climbed up
[00:02:14] And behind him she got
[00:02:17] He wished himself well
[00:02:18] From his promises free
[00:02:20] But he turned to her saying
[00:02:22] Will you marry me
[00:02:25] Yes I will
[00:02:28] My heart it doth fail me
[00:02:30] I dare not go home
[00:02:31] My parents will think
[00:02:33] I am sorely undone
[00:02:36] I will leave you here
[00:02:37] With my neighbor to tarry
[00:02:39] Within a few days
[00:02:40] With you I will marry
[00:02:43] You won't I know
[00:02:46] He said that he would
[00:02:47] And home he did go
[00:02:49] He soon told his father
[00:02:50] And mother also
[00:02:52] Of his woeful case
[00:02:54] And how he had sworn
[00:02:56] His parents said to him
[00:02:57] For that do not mourn
[00:02:59] Oh never break your vows
[00:03:01] But bring home your girl
[00:03:02] We'll soon snug her up
[00:03:04] And she'll do very well
[00:03:07] They asked his old spark
[00:03:09] To the wedding to come
[00:03:10] Her servants replied
[00:03:12] That she was not at home
[00:03:15] They invited her maidens
[00:03:16] To wait on her there
[00:03:18] And then for the wedding
[00:03:20] They all did prepare
[00:03:21] Published the banns
[00:03:23] And invited the guests
[00:03:25] And then they intended
[00:03:26] The bride for to dress
[00:03:29] I'll just be married in my old clothes
[00:03:33] When they were married
[00:03:35] They sat down to eat
[00:03:36] With her fingers she hauled
[00:03:38] Out the cabbage and meat
[00:03:41] His friends talk to her
[00:03:43] Called to his bride
[00:03:44] Saying pray go along
[00:03:46] And sit by his side
[00:03:49] I'll just sit in the
[00:03:50] Chimney corner like I'm used to
[00:03:53] She burned all her fingers
[00:03:55] In the pudding I fear
[00:03:56] Then she wiped
[00:03:57] Them all on her old rags of write
[00:04:01] They gave her a candle
[00:04:02] What could she want more
[00:04:04] And showed her the way
[00:04:05] To the chamber door
[00:04:08] Husband when you hear
[00:04:10] My shoes go clunk
