歌词
[Verse 1]
你们这帮想偷渡的叛逃者们来听我唱首歌
Come all you border ratters and listen to my song
这故事我讲过很多次，不会耽搁你们太久
The story has been told before and i’ll not detain you long
这是约翰尼阿姆斯特朗背叛国王的故事
It’s a tale of Johnnie Armstrong and the King who did betray
这是个诚实本分的男人，他的牲口都被敌人抢走
A man of trust and honesty, his cattle taken by the enemy
但他们却把他吊在树上，约翰尼阿姆斯特朗就这么死了
But they hung him from the gallow tree Johnnie Armstrong’s gone away
有人说他是掠夺者，这边也有人这么说
A some called him a reaver and there a those who say
全纽卡斯尔都这么说，他们要让约翰尼付出代价
That all down through new castle, blackmail to Johnnie paid
从杰罗纳奇的塔楼上，到地狱的幻境里
From the tower at [?] to the shadowlands below
他荣耀而正义地收拾了这帮皇亲国戚和法外狂徒
Blowed the outlaw royalty with honour and integrity
但他们却把他吊在树上，约翰尼阿姆斯特朗就这么死了
But they hung him from the gallow tree Johnnie Armstrong’s gone away
一个悄声传播的计划让约翰尼慌了
[Verse 2]
在卡隆里格的一次集会，北边的王也来了
A plan relayed with whispers to bring poor Johnnie down
消息传到了约翰尼这里，让他今天必须来
A gathering at carlon rigg, with the northern crown
国王说约翰尼快来我身边，我会保你周全
Then the message was delivered, John you must come today
但他们却把他吊在了树上，约翰尼阿姆斯特朗就这么死了
The king said Johnnie come to me, your safety i will guarantee
接着八百个叛徒来了，他的人包围了这儿
But they hung him from the gallows tree Johnnie Armstrong’s gone away
但没一会儿功夫他就全盘皆输
And with eight hundred ratters, his men they did surround
是生是死没他商量的份了
But with five and thirty he lost he upper ground
约翰尼交出了黄金白银，牲口和所有财产
No bargain then was offered no bargain then was made
但他们仍把他吊在了树上，约翰尼就这么死了
Johnnie offered whites [?] twenty three, gold, black metal, property
国王不需要你们这帮贱民挑战他的权威
But they hung him from the gallows tree Johnnie Armstrong’s gone away
英国女王也很操心，所以你们劫掠的日子没几天了
Kings don’t need competition from broken men like you
命令已经传到，他得付出生命的代价
The English Queen is nervous, so your even days are through
绳子让他解脱，摆脱尘世烦恼，永远的自由了
The sentence was delivered, with death he had to pay
但他们就这么把他吊在了树上，约翰尼阿姆斯特朗就这么死了
The rope returned his liberty, from Earthly troubles set him free
约翰尼阿姆斯特朗就这么死了
But they hung him from the gallows tree Johnnie Armstrong’s gone away
约翰尼阿姆斯特朗就这么死了
Johnnie Armstrong’s gone away
约翰尼阿姆斯特朗就这么死了
Johnnie Armstrong’s gone away
Johnnie Armstrong’s gone away
