Lily Of The Valley
作詞:Judy Collins
Lily of the valley Lily of the valley Lily of the valley
They called her 'Lily of the valley' And she lived beside the river The youngest of her sisters And the prettiest of them all
She was courted by the men in town She could have married anyone The one she made her husband Was the handsomest of all
They were married in a chapel Lily bore him seven children And every night he put her down And made her feel ashamed
He took the face she used to wear And put a look of sorrow there The more he made her suffer The more she felt to blame
No more tears Lily, don't cry anymore Tears of yours won't fall another time Don't cry Lily we know how you've tried Fighting for your life was not a crime
One night Lily turned to him Before he raised his hand to her One more time she said And not again
He laughed and threw another punch The blow knocked Lily to the floor Somehow she grabbed the kitchen knife And stabbed her husband dead
The jury they decided It was murder in the first degree 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 They said she had provoked him With her wild and wicked talk
They hanged her by the river Where so many times she wandered And left her children motherless In sorrow and in shock
No more tears Lily, don't cry anymore Tears of yours won't fall another time Don't cry Lily we know how you've tried Fighting for your life was not a crime
A soldier in a uniform Is meant to kill the enemy But Lilly in her own defense Was framed to take the fall
Her children watched their father beat Their mother all too often The battlefields of families Are the saddest of them all
The willow weeps for Lily As its branches touch the water The wind is crying, 'Lily' As it sighs along the shore
The river's singing 'Lily We all know that you are innocent' You were promised marriage But you had to fight a war
No more tears Lily, don't cry anymore Tears of yours won't fall another time Don't cry Lily we know how you've tried Fighting for your life was not a crime
Lily of the valley Lily of the valley Lily of the valley
