作曲 : Ed's Redeeming Qualities | |
He was one year old, but he committed a crime. | |
He really didn’t mean it, but someone saw. | |
The men in charge, they told his mother, | |
"He may be cute, but he’s not above the law. | |
We’re gonna hang that boy with a heavy, heavy rope | |
From the tallest redwood and we’re guessing | |
It’ll take ten thousand coils and we hope | |
When he gets to the bottom, he’ll have learned his lesson." | |
Well they strung him up despite her tears | |
And they kicked his high chair into autumn | |
and seasons passed and so did years. | |
He died a natural death before he reached the bottom. | |
He lived a full life on the way down | |
So long was the rope, so high was the tree | |
His hair stood up just like a crown | |
He was the scofflaw of gravity. |
