[00:00.00] 作曲 : Meloy
[00:10.65] There's a place your mother goes
[00:12.94] When everybody else is soundly sleeping
[00:20.31] Through the lights of Beacon Street
[00:22.97] And if you listen, you can hear her weeping
[00:27.66] She's weeping
[00:31.90] 'Cause the gentlemen are calling
[00:34.81] And the snow is softly falling on her petticoat
[00:41.67] And she's standing in the harbor
[00:44.76] And she's waiting for the sailors in the jolly boat
[00:49.83] See how they approach
[00:55.07] With dirty hands and trousers torn
[00:57.35] They grapple till she's safe within their keeping
[01:04.63] A gag is placed between her lips
[01:07.07] To keep her sorry tongue from any speaking
[01:11.96] Or screaming
[01:15.94] And they row her out to packets
[01:19.18] Where the sailors' sorry racket falls for maidenhead
[01:25.60] And she's scarce above the gunwales
[01:28.74] When her clothes fall to a bundle and she's laid in bed
[01:33.72] On the upper deck
[01:57.83] And so she goes from ship to ship
[02:01.16] Her ankles clasped, her arms so rudely pinioned
[02:08.85] 'Till at last she's satisfied
[02:11.35] The lot of the marina's teeming minions
[02:15.74] In their opinions
[02:20.37] And they tell her not to say a thing
[02:23.71] To cousin, kindred, kith or kin or she'll end up dead
[02:30.19] And they throw her thirty dollars
[02:33.29] And return her to the harbor where she goes to bed
[02:37.89] And this is how you're fed
[02:42.33] So be kind to your mother
[02:48.01] Though she may seem an awful bother
[02:53.14] And the next time she tries to feed you collard greens
[03:02.75] Remember what she does when you're asleep
