Steeleye Span - Marrowbones Text

Songtext zu Marrowbones

There was a woman in our town and in our town did dwell,
She loved her old man dearly but another man twice as well.

And sing fal-the-lal-lal-the-lal-li-day
Fal-the-lal lal-li-day

She went down to the doctor to see if she could find
Anything in the whole world to make her old man blind.

And sing fal-the-lal-lal-the-lal-li-day
Fal-the-lal lal-li-day

“Oh, take him sixteen marrowbones and make him eat them all,

And when he's finished he'll be so blind, he won't see you at all.”

And sing fal-the-lal-lal-the-lal-li-day
Fal-the-lal lal-li-lay

So the doctor he wrote a letter and he sealed it with his hand,
And he sent it up to the old man to make him understand.

And sing fal-the-lal-lal-the-lal-li-day
Fal-the-lal lal-li-lay

But the old man being a crafty bugger he knew it all before,
He ate 'em up and he says, “My dear, oh I can't see you at all.”

And sing fal-the-lal-lal-the-lal-li-day
Fal-the-lal lal-li-lay

Says he, “I'll go to the river and there myself I'll drown.”
Says she, “I'll walk along with you to see that you don't fall down.”

And sing fal-the-lal-lal-the-lal-li-day
Fal-the-lal lal-li-lay

They walked along together till they come to the river's brim,
So gently there she's kissed him and she crept away behind.

And sing fal-the-lal-lal-the-lal-li-day
Fal-the-lal lal-li-lay

She ran and she ran behind him to try to push him in
But the old man heard and he jumped aside and she went tumbling in.

And sing fal-the-lal-lal-the-lal-li-day
Fal-the-lal lal-li-lay

So loudly she did holler and loud for mercy call,
But the old man says, “I am so blind, I can't see you at all.”

And sing fal-the-lal-lal-the-lal-li-day
Fal-the-lal lal-li-lay

She swam and she swam and she swam around till she came to the further brim,
But the old man got the barge pole and he pushed her further in.

And sing fal-the-lal-lal-the-lal-li-day
Fal-the-lal lal-li-lay

“Oh it may take sixteen marrowbones to make your old man blind,
But if you want to murder him you must creep up close behind.”
