Lady Gay (Child Ballad No 79)Very Early Joan - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)[00:00:00]
There was a lady and a lady gay [00:00:15]
Of children she had three [00:00:22]
She sent them away to the North Countree[00:00:27]
To learn their grammaree[00:00:36]
They'd not been gone but a very short time [00:00:45]
Scarcely three weeks and a day [00:00:53]
When death cruel death came hasting along[00:00:57]
And stole those babes away [00:01:06]
"There is a King in Heaven " she cried[00:01:15]
"A King of third degree[00:01:23]
Send back send back my three little pages [00:01:27]
This night send them back to me "[00:01:36]
She made a bed in the uppermost room [00:01:45]
On it she put a white sheet [00:01:53]
And over the top a golden spread[00:01:57]
That they much better might sleep [00:02:06]
"Take it off take it off " cried the older one [00:02:13]
"Take it off take it off " cried he [00:02:21]
"For what's to become of this wide wicked world[00:02:25]
Since sin has first begun "[00:02:34]
She set a table of linen fine [00:02:44]
On it she placed bread and wine [00:02:50]
"Come eat come drink of[00:02:55]
My three little babies[00:02:59]
Drink of mine "[00:03:04]
"We want none of your bread mother [00:03:13]
Neither do we want your wine [00:03:20]
For yonder stands our Savior deer [00:03:25]
To Him we must resign "[00:03:34]
"Green grass is over our heads mother [00:03:43]
Cold clay is over our feet [00:03:50]
And every tear you shed for us [00:03:55]
It wets our winding-sheet "[00:04:03]
