| 作词 : Traditional | |
| It was Yankee the squire | |
| As I've heard the men say | |
| Who rode out a-huntin' on one Saturday. | |
| They hunted all day but nothing they found | |
| But a poor murdered woman | |
| Laid on the cold ground. | |
| About eight o'clock boys the dogs | |
| they throwed off | |
| on Leatherhead Common | |
| and that was the spot. | |
| They tried all the bushes but nothing they found | |
| But a poor murdered woman | |
| Laid on the cold ground. | |
| They mounted their horses | |
| And they rode off the ground | |
| They rode to the village | |
| And alarmed it all around. | |
| It is late in the evening I'm sorry to say | |
| She cannot be removed until the next day. | |
| The next Sunday morning about eight o'clock | |
| Some hundreds of people | |
| To the spot they did flock | |
| For to see the poor creature | |
| [ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/john-&-mary-lyrics/the-poor-murdered-woman-lyrics.html ] | |
| Your hearts would have bled | |
| Some cold-hearted violence | |
| Came into their heads. | |
| She was took off the common | |
| And down to some inn | |
| And the man that has kept it, | |
| His name is John Simms. | |
| The coroner was sent for, the jury they pined, | |
| And soon they concluded and settled their mind. | |
| Her coffin was brought, in it she was laid | |
| And took to the churchyard | |
| This cold winter day. | |
| No father, no mother, no long friend untold | |
| Came to see the poor creature | |
| Laid under the cold. | |
| So now I'll conclude and I'll finish my song | |
| And those that have damage | |
| Shall find themselves wrong | |
| The last day of Judgment | |
| The trumpet shall sound | |
| And their souls not in heaven | |
| I'm afraid won't be found. |
