Tol' My Captain Lyrics

Tol' My Captain - Harry Belafonte (哈里·贝拉方特)

Tol' my captain my hands was cold

 

Set down your hands boy let the wheeling roll

 

I asked my captain to give me time

 

Damned old captain wouldn't pay me no mind

 

I raised my hand to wipe the sweat off my head

 

Captain got mad Lord shot my buddy dead

 

He kept on walkin' up and down

 

Buddy laying there dead Lord

On the burning ground

 

If I'd a had my weight and line

 

I'd a whipped that captain

 

Till he went stone blind

 

If you don't believe my buddy is dead

 

Just look at that hole in my buddy's head

 

The buzzard's circlin' round the sky

 

Oh that captain sure is bound to die

 

 

Sure is bound to die
