Kingston Trio( 京士頓三重唱 ) Close-Up歌詞
1.The Whistling Gypsy

作詞:Leo Maguire

The gypsy rover came over the hill
Down through the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day
Ah dee du, ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

She left her father's castle gate
Left her own fond lover
Left her servants and her estate
To follow the gypsy rover

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day
Ah dee du, ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

Her father saddled his fastest steed
Searched these valleys all over
Seeking his daughter at great speed
And the whistlin' gypsy rover

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day
Ah dee du, ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

At last he came to a castle gate
Along the River Claydee
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day
Ah dee du, ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady

'He is no gypsy, my father', she said
But lord of these lands all over
And I will stay till my dying day
With the whistlin' gypsy rover

Ah dee du, ah dee du da day
Ah dee du, ah dee day dee
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
Till the green woods rang, till the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady


2.Take Her Out Of Pity

作詞:Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane, John Stewart

I had a sister Sally, she was younger than I am
Had so many sweethearts, she had to deny them
But as for sister Sarah, you know she hasn't many
And if you knew her heart, she'd be grateful for any

Come a landsman, a pinsman, a tinker or a tailor
Doctor, a lawyer, soldier or a sailor
A rich man, a poor man, a fool or a witty
Don't let her die an old maid but take her out of pity

We had a sister Sally, she was ugly and misshapen
By the time she was sixteen years old she was taken
By the time she was eighteen, a son and a daughter
Sarah's almost twenty-nine, never had an offer

Come a landsman, a pinsman, a tinker or a tailor
Doctor, a lawyer, soldier or a sailor
A rich man, a poor man, a fool or a witty
Don't let her die an old maid but take her out of pity

She never would be scoldin', she never would be jealous
Her husband would have money to go to the alehouse
He was there a spendin'. she'd be home a savin'
And I leave it up to you if she is not worth havin'

Come a landsman, a pinsman, a tinker or a tailor
Doctor, a lawyer, soldier or a sailor
A rich man, a poor man, a fool or a witty
Don't let her die an old maid but take her out of pity

Don't let her die an old maid but take her out of pity


3.Jesse James

作詞:Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane, John Stewart

Frank and Jesse James were a product of their environment
They were sent out into the woods by their parents
To forage for berries, truffles, rutabagas and roots of all
sorts
Put yourself in their place you'da been mean too

When Jesse James was a lad he killed many a man
He robbed the Glendale train
(Hot darn)
And the people they did say for many miles away
It was robbed by Frank and Jesse James

Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life
Three children, they were brave
But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

It was on a Saturday night if I remember right
When they robbed that Glendale train
(Your wallet monsieur)
It was one of the Younger boys who gathered in the spoils
And he carried Jesse's monies away

Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life
Three children, they were brave
But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

He was standin' on a chair just a-dustin' pictures there
He thought he heard a noise
When he turned his head around, why that bullet smacked him down
And it laid poor Jesse on the floor

Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life
Three children, they were brave
But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

Where'd ya learn that John?
Camping, woops

Jesse robbed from the poor and he gave to the rich
He never did a friendly thing
And when his best friend died he was right there by her side
And he lifted off her golden wedding ring

Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life
Three children, they were brave
But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

Killing 19 people doesn't make a boy all bad


4.Don't You Weep, Mary

作詞:Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane, John Stewart

Ohh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned?
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep

If I could, I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
If Pharaoh's army got drowned?
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep

Ohh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned?
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep

Satan got mad 'cos he knows I'm glad
He missed that soul that he thought he had
Didn't Pharaoh's army get drowned?
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep

Ohh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned?
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep

Cheer up, brothers and don't you cry
There'll be good times bye and bye
Pharaoh's army get drowned?
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep

Ohh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned?
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep

Some dark night about twelve o'clock
This whole world is gonna really rock
Didn't Pharaoh's army get drowned?
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep

Ohh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned?
Ohh, Mary, don't you weep


5.Weeping Willow

作詞:Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane, John Stewart

Bury me beneath the willow
Beneath the weeping willow tree
When she hears that I am sleeping
Maybe then she'll think of me

My heart is sad and I am lonely
Dreaming of the one that I love
When will I see her? I know not when
Not unless it's up in Heaven above

Bury me beneath the willow
Beneath the weeping willow tree
When she hears that I am sleeping
Maybe then she'll think of me

She told me that she really loved me
How could I believe her untrue
When all the angels seemed to whisper
She will prove untrue to you?

Bury me beneath the willow
Beneath the weeping willow tree
When she hears that I am sleeping
Maybe then she'll think of me

Maybe then she'll think of me


6.Reuben James

作詞:Barry Etris, Alex Harvey

Have you heard of the ship called The Good Reuben James?
Run by hard fighting men both of honor and of fame
She flew the stars and stripes of the land of the free
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea

Oh, tell me, what were their names
Tell me, what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Reuben James?
Oh, tell me, what were their names
Tell me, what were their names?
Did you have a friend on?

One hundred men went down to their dark and watery graves
When that good ship went down, only forty-four were saved
'Twas the last day of October, they saved forty-four from the
dark
Icy water of that cold Iceland shore

Oh, tell me, what were their names
Tell me, what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Reuben James?
Oh, tell me, what were their names
Tell me, what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Reuben James?

It was there in the dark of that cold and watery night
They watched for the U-boats and they waited for a fight
Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion's roar
They lay the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor

Oh, tell me, what were their names
Tell me, what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Reuben James?
Oh, tell me, what were their names
Tell me, what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Reuben James?

Many years have passed since those brave men are gone
Those cold, icy waters, they're still and they're calm
Many years have passed and still I wonder
Why the worst of men must fight and the best of men must die

Oh, tell me, what were their names
Tell me, what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Reuben James?
Oh, tell me, what were their names
Tell me, what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Reuben James?


7.When My Love Was Here

作詞:Stewart John (usa)

I thought, I'd spend a week or two where we went last year
The little cottage and the lake that we held so dear
But the trees all seemed much greener, much greener than this
year
Thinkin' about last summer when my love was here

And the stars all lost their glitter
They were so full of cheer
Thinkin' about last summer when my love was here

Even the old caretaker who brought us from the train
Says, 'This year just hasn't, it hasn't been the same'
And the winds across the meadow seem to hide a tear
Thinkin' about last summer when my love was here

Hum line about caretaker?
It hasn't been the same
It hasn't been the same


8.Glorious Kingdom

作詞:Reynolds Nick, Shane Bob, Stewart John C

The Virgin Mary had a baby boy
The Virgin Mary had a baby boy
And they say that His name was Jesus

He come down, He come from the glory
He come down, He come from the glorious Kingdom
He come down, He come from the glory

He come down, He come from the glorious Kingdom
Oh, yes, believe us, oh, yes, believe us, oh, yes, believe us
He come from the glorious Kingdom

Was born in a town called Bethlehem
Was born in a town called Bethlehem
And they say that His name was Jesus

He come down, he come from the glory
He come down, he come from the glorious Kingdom
He come down, he come from the glory

He come down, He come from the glorious Kingdom
Oh, yes, believe us, oh, yes, believe us, oh, yes, believe us
He come from the glorious Kingdom

Was sent to us from our Father above
Was sent to us from our Father above
And they say that His name was Jesus

He come down, He come from the glory
He come down, He come from the glorious Kingdom
He come down, He come from the glory

He come down, He come from the glorious Kingdom
Oh, yes, believe us, oh, yes, believe us, oh, yes, believe us
He come from the glorious Kingdom


9.Oh, Sail Away

作詞:John Phillips

Just a-singin'
(Once again now, just a-singin', a-singin')
Ooh, sail away, ooh, sail away

A man would be a fool to spend all his money
And have to go to sea once more
But when those brown skin gals start callin' you honey
You'll be a sailin' from that shore

Just a-singin'
(Once again now, just a-singin', a-singin')
Ooh, sail away, ooh, sail away

When we hit Trinidad, was there I met Marni
Don't you know we started drinkin' rum
But now I feel so bad, she took all my money
And now I sail with the mornin' sun

So all ye sailor lads who want to go sportin'
Mark ye well what I do say
Don't trust them brown skin gals, they'll be your misfortune
You'll be at sea till your dyin' day

Just a-singin'
(Once again now, just a-singin', a-singin')
Ooh, sail away, ooh, sail away


10.Coming From The Mountains

Comin' from the mountains, crossin' o'er the plains. It's off to
California, then back again to Maine.
Singin' a song that you all know, then let your voices go. So
sing it out, my brothers, wherever we may go.

We traveled here, we traveled there, we traveled ev'rywhere. We
go by air, we go by rail, any place they pay us scale.
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go


The folk group has a banjo because it's really in. I'll let you
hear my banjo ring when I learn to play the thing!
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go


The boys with Davy Crockett who died at the Alamo, I heard them
say when they attacked, 'I knew this room would kill the act!'
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go
