Rescue Mission - Kris Kristofferson (克里斯·克里斯托佛森)[00:00:00]

Written by：Kris Kristofferson[00:00:00]

The captain touched his swagger stick[00:00:15]

Up to his golden eye[00:00:18]

And boogied through the vestibule[00:00:21]

While bidding us goodbye[00:00:25]

The enemy surrounds us[00:00:28]

And our spirits almost gone[00:00:32]

The devil take the cavalry[00:00:35]

That sold us for a song[00:00:39]

There's chi chi's on the starboard lads[00:00:54]

And chi chi's in the stern[00:00:57]

And hashish in the hookah pipes[00:01:01]

And bonny grass to burn[00:01:04]

Our mission is a secret[00:01:07]

But we're fool enough to try[00:01:10]

We'll sail the bloody ocean boys[00:01:14]

Or drink the bastard dry[00:01:17]

If I've been a carpenter the swarthy[00:01:32]

Sergeant said[00:01:37]

I'd never seen this ugly thing[00:01:39]

That hangs above my head[00:01:43]

The hell with all your hero[00:01:46]

And the wounds they hope to show[00:01:49]

I'm just a simple soldier son[00:01:53]

With one more year to go[00:01:57]

The albatross was tiring[00:02:12]

And the cook was in a stew[00:02:15]

The filthy little cabin boy[00:02:18]

Was whizzing in my shoe[00:02:22]

The captain's wife was aging[00:02:25]

And the first mate heard her scream[00:02:28]

When Tommy slipped Tabasco in the[00:02:32]

Captain's Vaseline[00:02:35]

Our time will soon be gone he said[00:02:50]

It's all we've left to lose[00:02:53]

We've shot our ammunition[00:02:57]

And we're all but out of booze[00:03:00]

So here's to Irma done gal[00:03:04]

Here's to Nellie b lye[00:03:07]

And here's to my old friend he said[00:03:11]

And kissed his a** goodbye[00:03:14]

Give off give off you sorry lot[00:03:29]

Give off the captain cried[00:03:32]

We've lost our bloody anchor[00:03:35]

And we're drifting with the tide[00:03:39]

The swollen surf is pounding[00:03:42]

Like a thousand cannons roar[00:03:45]

And I shake the hand of any man[00:03:49]

Who guides us into shore[00:03:52]

We're saved we're saved[00:04:07]

The soldiers said[00:04:09]

We're saved the sailors cried[00:04:11]

And soldiers climbed aboard[00:04:14]

While sailors left from either side[00:04:17]

Some swabbing hit the minefield and[00:04:21]

The rifles got the rest[00:04:25]

And somewhere there's a schooner[00:04:28]

Sinking slowly in the west[00:04:31]
