The Unfortunate Lad

The Unfortunate Lad (《巴斯特·斯克魯格斯的歌謠 》電影插曲) - Brendan Gleeson

Composed by：Traditional

As I was a walking

Down by the loch

As I was a walking one morning of late

Who should I spy

But my own dear comrade

Wrapped up in flannel

So hard is his fate

I boldly stepped up to

And kindly did ask him

Why are you wrapped up in flannel so white

My body is injured

And sadly disordered

All by a young woman

My own heart's delight

Oh had she but told me

When she disordered me

Had she but told me of it at the time

I might have got salts

Or pills of white mercury

But now I'm cut down

In the height of my prime

Get six pretty maidens

To carry my coffin

And six pretty maidens

To bear up my pall

And give to each of them

Bunches of roses

That they may not smell me

As they go along
