It was late last night when the boss came home |
| [00:18.13] |
To a deserted mansion and a desolate throne |
| [00:21.06] |
|
| [00:21.75] |
Servant said: " Boss, the lady' s gone |
| [00:24.44] |
|
| [00:25.25] |
She left this morning just ' fore dawn." |
| [00:28.94] |
|
| [00:32.25] |
" You got something to tell me, tell it to me, man |
| [00:35.94] |
Come to the point as straight as you can" |
| [00:39.51] |
" Old Henry Lee, chief of the clan |
| [00:42.38] |
|
| [00:43.00] |
Came riding through the woods and took her by the hand" |
| [00:47.40] |
|
| [00:50.34] |
The boss he lay back flat on his bed |
| [00:53.02] |
|
| [00:53.65] |
He cursed the heat and he clutched his head |
| [00:56.58] |
|
| [00:57.21] |
He pondered the future of his fate |
| [00:59.84] |
|
| [01:00.77] |
To wait another day would be far too late |
| [01:04.16] |
|
| [01:07.97] |
" Go fetch me my coat and my tie |
| [01:11.41] |
And the cheapest labour that money can buy |
| [01:14.41] |
|
| [01:15.04] |
Saddle me up my buckskin mare |
| [01:17.79] |
|
| [01:18.54] |
If you see me go by, put up a prayer" |
| [01:22.54] |
|
| [01:25.66] |
Well, they rode all night, and they rode all day |
| [01:28.47] |
|
| [01:29.35] |
Eastward, long down the broad highway |
| [01:32.78] |
His spirit was tired and his vision was bent |
| [01:35.72] |
|
| [01:36.28] |
His men deserted him and onward he went |
| [01:39.16] |
|
| [01:43.60] |
He came to a place where the light was dull |
| [01:46.28] |
|
| [01:47.03] |
His forehead pounding in his skull |
| [01:49.66] |
|
| [01:50.60] |
Heavy heart was racked with pain |
| [01:53.22] |
|
| [01:54.03] |
Insomnia raging in his brain |
| [01:56.78] |
|
| [02:01.22] |
Well, he threw down his helmet and his crosshandled sword |
| [02:04.78] |
He renounced his faith, he denied his lord |
| [02:07.53] |
|
| [02:08.60] |
Crawled on his belly, put his ear to the wall |
| [02:11.97] |
One way or another put an end to it all |
| [02:14.72] |
|
| [02:19.66] |
He leaned down, cut the electric wire |
| [02:21.66] |
|
| [02:22.41] |
Stared into the flames and he snorted the fire |
| [02:25.53] |
|
| [02:26.22] |
Peered through the darkness, caught a glimpse of the two |
| [02:29.72] |
It was hard to tell for certain who was who |
| [02:32.59] |
|
| [02:36.91] |
He lowered himself down on a golden chain |
| [02:39.53] |
|
| [02:40.34] |
His nerves were quaking in every vein |
| [02:43.10] |
|
| [02:43.97] |
His knuckles were bloody, he sucked in the air |
| [02:46.96] |
|
| [02:47.53] |
He ran his fingers through his greasy hair |
| [02:50.22] |
|
| [02:54.73] |
They looked at each other and their glasses clinked |
| [02:57.36] |
|
| [02:58.05] |
One single unit, inseparably linked |
| [03:00.98] |
|
| [03:01.61] |
" Got a strange premonition there' s a man close by" |
| [03:05.48] |
" Don' t worry about him, he wouldn' t harm a fly" |
| [03:08.92] |
|
| [03:12.36] |
From behind the curtain, the boss he crossed the floor |
| [03:15.17] |
|
| [03:15.67] |
He moved his feet and he bolted the door |
| [03:18.67] |
|
| [03:19.48] |
Shadows hiding the lines in his face |
| [03:22.30] |
|
| [03:23.05] |
With all the nobility of an ancient race |
| [03:25.73] |
|
| [03:30.29] |
She turned, she was startled with a look of surprise |
| [03:32.86] |
|
| [03:33.61] |
With a hatred that could hit the skies |
| [03:36.23] |
|
| [03:37.17] |
" You' re a reckless fool, I could see it in your eyes |
| [03:40.86] |
To come this way was by no means wise" |
| [03:44.60] |
|
| [03:48.29] |
" Get up, stand up, you greedylipped wench |
| [03:50.99] |
|
| [03:51.54] |
And cover your face or suffer the consequence |
| [03:53.92] |
|
| [03:54.98] |
You are making my heart feel sick |
| [03:58.48] |
Put your clothes back on, doublequick" |
| [04:01.85] |
|
| [04:05.80] |
" Silly boy, you think me a saint |
| [04:08.56] |
|
| [04:09.30] |
I' ll listen no more to your words of complaint |
| [04:12.18] |
|
| [04:12.93] |
You' ve given me nothing but the sweetest lies |
| [04:15.56] |
|
| [04:16.56] |
Now hold your tongue and feed your eyes" |
| [04:20.37] |
|
| [04:23.43] |
" I' d have given you the stars and the planets, too |
| [04:26.37] |
|
| [04:26.99] |
But what good would these things do you? |
| [04:29.93] |
|
| [04:30.62] |
Bow the heart if not the knee |
| [04:33.68] |
|
| [04:34.43] |
Or never again this world you' ll see" |
| [04:37.68] |
|
| [04:41.24] |
" Oh, please let not your heart be cold |
| [04:43.93] |
|
| [04:44.68] |
This man is dearer to me than gold" |
| [04:48.49] |
" Oh, my dear, you must be blind |
| [04:51.05] |
|
| [04:51.87] |
He' s a gutless ape with a worthless mind" |
| [04:55.56] |
|
| [04:59.06] |
" You' ve had your way too long with me |
| [05:01.80] |
|
| [05:02.55] |
Now it' s me who' ll determine how things shall be" |
| [05:06.18] |
" Try to escape," he cussed and cursed |
| [05:08.99] |
|
| [05:09.74] |
' You' ll have to try to get past me first" |
| [05:13.30] |
|
| [05:16.99] |
" Do not let your passion rule |
| [05:19.49] |
|
| [05:20.37] |
You think my heart the heart of a fool |
| [05:23.30] |
|
| [05:23.99] |
And you, sir, you can not deny |
| [05:26.55] |
|
| [05:27.24] |
You made a monkey of me, what and for why?" |
| [05:31.11] |
|
| [05:34.61] |
" I' ll have no more of this insulting chat |
| [05:37.49] |
|
| [05:38.18] |
The devil can have you, I' ll see to that |
| [05:41.24] |
|
| [05:41.93] |
Look sharp or step aside |
| [05:44.61] |
|
| [05:45.36] |
Or in the cradle you' ll wish you' d died" |
| [05:48.99] |
|
| [05:52.61] |
The gun went boom and the shot rang clear |
| [05:55.36] |
|
| [05:55.93] |
First bullet grazed his ear |
| [05:58.92] |
|
| [05:59.74] |
Second ball went right straight in |
| [06:02.99] |
And he bent in the middle like a twisted pin |
| [06:05.93] |
|
| [06:10.30] |
He crawled to the corner and he lowered his head |
| [06:13.05] |
|
| [06:13.55] |
He gripped the chair and he grabbed the bed |
| [06:16.62] |
|
| [06:17.49] |
It would take more than needle and thread |
| [06:20.11] |
|
| [06:20.86] |
Bleeding from the mouth, he' s as good as dead |
| [06:23.61] |
|
| [06:27.87] |
" You shot my husband down, you fiend" |
| [06:31.55] |
" Husband? What husband? What the hell do you mean? |
| [06:34.74] |
He was a man of strife, a man of sin |
| [06:37.92] |
|
| [06:38.61] |
I cut him down and threw him to the wind" |
| [06:42.61] |
|
| [06:49.30] |
This she said with angry breath |
| [06:52.61] |
" You too shall meet the lord of death |
| [06:55.73] |
|
| [06:56.30] |
It was I who brought your soul to life" |
| [07:00.05] |
Then she raised her robe and she drew out a knife |
| [07:03.17] |
|
| [07:07.05] |
His face was hard and caked with sweat |
| [07:09.67] |
|
| [07:10.54] |
His arms ached and his hands were wet |
| [07:13.48] |
" You' re a murderous queen and a bloody wife |
| [07:16.86] |
|
| [07:17.61] |
If you don' t mind, I' ll have the knife" |
| [07:21.24] |
|
| [07:25.05] |
" We' re two of a kind and our blood runs hot |
| [07:28.30] |
But we' re no way similar in body or thought |
| [07:31.11] |
|
| [07:31.73] |
All husbands are good men, as all wives know" |
| [07:35.36] |
Then she pierced him to the heart and his blood did flow |
| [07:38.67] |
|
| [07:42.80] |
His knees went limp and he reached for the door |
| [07:46.04] |
His tomb was sealed, he slid to the floor |
| [07:49.04] |
|
| [07:49.85] |
He whispered in her ear: " This is all your fault |
| [07:52.54] |
|
| [07:53.30] |
My fighting days have come to a halt" |
| [07:56.98] |
|
| [08:00.54] |
She touched his lips and kissed his cheek |
| [08:03.11] |
|
| [08:03.98] |
He tried to speak but his breath was weak |
| [08:06.79] |
|
| [08:07.55] |
" You died for me, now I' ll die for you" |
| [08:10.73] |
She put the blade to her heart and she ran it through |
| [08:14.11] |
|
| [08:18.60] |
All three lovers together in a heap |
| [08:20.79] |
|
| [08:21.67] |
Thrown into the grave, forever to sleep |
| [08:24.48] |
|
| [08:25.36] |
Funeral torches blazed away |
| [08:28.04] |
|
| [08:28.92] |
Through the towns and the villages all night and all day |
| [08:33.21] |
|
| [08:33.78] |
|
