作曲 : Creager | |
In the spring of 1315, | |
There began an era of unpredictable weather. | |
It did not lift until 1851. | |
You remember 1816 as the year without a summer | |
June 1816, | |
A sudden snowstorm blankets all the countryside, | |
So Mary Shelley had to stay inside and she wrote Frankenstein, | |
Oh, 1816 was the year without a summer. | |
Grain couldn't ripen under these conditions, | |
It was brought indoors in urns and pots. | |
It'd go from ninety-five degrees to freezing within hours, | |
A brutal struggle for the people and the starving livestock. | |
During the most severe years of this little ice age | |
We looked for scapegoats to blame. | |
Many people tried to blame it all on a vast Freemason conspiracy, | |
Or Benjamin Franklin and his experiments with electricity. | |
The eruption of the volcano Tambora | |
Blanketed the earth with ash. | |
That was a real cause discovered by some explorer | |
Years later, looking back at the past. | |
I will give you my red colour | |
To take away your sickly pallor. | |
For you are so very choleric of complexion, | |
Please beware the mounting sun and all dejection. | |
1816 was the year without a summer. |
