Harper (LP版) 歌詞

Harper (LP版) - Tom Paxton

Father Father build me a cabin fine

 

There I'll go at once and lay me down

 

Build for me a bed of pine

 

For I feel my time is a coming 'round

Love of mine love of mine

Love of mine love of mine

 

No daughter of mine will suffer shame

 

I'll build your cabin by the lake

There I'll wait with you till Harper comes

 

And his black and bloody life I'll take

Love of mine love of mine

Love of mine love of mine

 

She lay down upon her bed of pain

 

She was groanin' as her time drew nigh

Thing Father turn your face unto the wall

 

For I see a murder in your eyes

Love of mine love of mine

Love of mine love of mine

 

Now Harper he stepped up to the cabin door

 

His horse he'd left in the woods nearby

He stepped into the cabin carelessly

And he heard a low and a deadly cry

Love of mine love of mine

Love of mine love of mine

 

Oh you bloody awful man

My daughter's pain is all because of you

You would not take her for your wedded wife

 

And now it's a terrible thing that I must do

 

Love of mine love of mine

Love of mine love of mine

 

He fired his gun and Harper he fell down

 

His blood fell on the dark and Earthen floor

Lie there lie there you faithless man

You'll never break your vows no more

Love of mine love of mine

 

Love of mine love of mine
