歌词
Old reilly stole a stallion
瑞利老汉偷了一匹马
可是被人逮住 抓了回来
But they caught him and they brought him back
他被扔在监狱的地上
铁链把他的脖子栓了起来
And they laid him down on the jailhouse ground
瑞利老汉的女儿得到了消息
With an iron chain around his neck.
说他父亲将要被吊死
她骑马连夜飞奔一早赶回
Old reillys daughter got a message
手捧金银献了上来
法官看到了她的美貌
That her father was goin to hang.
深陷的老眼亮了起来
She rode by night and came by morning
他说，金子换不回你父亲的老命
除非用你的身体偿还
With gold and silver in her hand.
啊，我已经是将死之人了，瑞利哭着说
他只是想得到你而已
When the judge he saw reillys daughter
要是他动你一下，我会毛骨悚然痛苦不堪
骑上你的马快点离开
His old eyes deepened in his head,
噢，爸爸，如果那样的话
你就必死无疑了
Sayin, gold will never free your father,
就按照法官说的做吧
我不会抛下你不管
The price, my dear, is you instead.
绞刑架的寒影震颤着夜晚
一直猎狗嚎叫了起来
Oh Im as good as dead, cried reilly,
大地发出了痛苦的呻吟
女儿用身体做出了偿还
Its only you that he does crave
第二天早晨当她醒来
发现法官并未遵守诺言
And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all.
她看见弯曲的绞刑架下面
Get on your horse and ride away.
是他身首异处的父亲
这是对残忍法官的七个诅咒：
Oh father you will surely die
第一，医生救不了他
If I dont take the chance to try
第二，医治者治不了他
第三，眼睛不能看见他
And pay the price and not take your advice.
第四，耳朵不能听到他
For that reason I will have to stay.
第五，屋墙不能隐藏他
第六，掘墓人不能埋葬他
The gallows shadows shook the evening,
第七，死亡永远不会带走他
In the night a hound dog bayed,
In the night the grounds were groanin,
In the night the price was paid.
The next mornin she had awoken
To know that the judge had never spoken.
She saw that hangin branch a-bendin,
She saw her fathers body broken.
These be seven curses on a judge so cruel:
That one doctor will not save him,
That two healers will not heal him,
That three eyes will not see him.
That four ears will not hear him,
That five walls will not hide him,
That six diggers will not bury him
And that seven deaths shall never kill him.
