[00:00.00] 作曲 : Bob Dylan
[00:01.00] 作词 : Bob Dylan
[00:13.499] Well, Frankie Lee and Judas Priest,
[00:17.128] They were the best of friends.
[00:20.298] So when Frankie Lee needed money one day,
[00:23.183] Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens
[00:26.758] And placed them on a footstool
[00:29.847] Just above the plotted plain,
[00:33.401] Sayin', "Take your pick, Frankie Boy,"
[00:36.307] My loss will be your gain."
[00:40.309] Well, Frankie Lee, he sat right down
[00:43.031] And put his fingers to his chin,
[00:46.201] But with the cold eyes of Judas on him,
[00:48.884] His head began to spin.
[00:52.682] "Would ya please not stare at me like that," he said,"
[00:55.812] "It's just my foolish pride,"
[00:59.225] But sometimes a man must be alone
[01:02.008] And this is no place to hide."
[01:05.746] Well, Judas, he just winked and said,
[01:09.160] "All right, I'll leave you here,“
[01:12.411] But you'd better hurry up and choose
[01:14.950] Which of those bills you want,
[01:16.210] Before they all disappear."
[01:19.155] "I'm gonna start my pickin' right now,“
[01:21.533] Just tell me where you'll be."
[01:25.210] Judas pointed down the road
[01:28.278] And said, "Eternity!"
[01:31.589] "Eternity?" said Frankie Lee,“
[01:34.780] With a voice as cold as ice.
[01:38.152] "That's right," said Judas Priest, "Eternity,“
[01:40.367] Though you might call it 'Paradise.'
[01:44.226] "I don't call it anything,"
[01:46.745] Said Frankie Lee with a smile.
[01:50.342] "All right," said Judas Priest,
[01:53.409] "I'll see you after a while."“
[01:57.229] Well, Frankie Lee, he sat back down,
[02:00.095] Feelin' low and mean,
[02:03.355] When just then a passing stranger
[02:05.245] Burst upon the scene,
[02:09.207] Saying, "Are you Frankie Lee, the gambler,Whose father is deceased?
[02:16.053] Well, if you are,
[02:16.927] There's a fellow callin' you down the road
[02:18.817] And they say his name is Priest."
[02:21.945] "Oh, yes, he is my friend,"
[02:25.095] Said Frankie Lee in fright
[02:28.631] "I do recall him very well,“
[02:31.596] In fact, he just left my sight."
[02:35.051] "Yes, that's the one," said the stranger,“
[02:37.590] As quiet as a mouse,
[02:41.186] "Well, my message is, he's down the road,“
[02:44.152] Stranded in a house."
[02:47.525] Well, Frankie Lee, he panicked,
[02:50.714] He dropped ev'rything and ran
[02:54.006] Until he came up to the spot
[02:56.403] Where Judas Priest did stand.
[03:00.141] "What kind of house is this," he said,“
[03:03.880] "Where I have come to roam?"“
[03:07.070] "It's not a house," said Judas Priest,“
[03:09.731] "It's not a house . . . it's a home."
[03:13.266] Well, Frankie Lee, he trembled,
[03:15.928] He soon lost all control
[03:19.788] Over ev'rything which he had made
[03:22.409] While the mission bells did toll.
[03:25.700] He just stood there staring
[03:28.199] At that big house as bright as any sun,
[03:32.386] With four and twenty windows
[03:35.148] And a woman's face in ev'ry one.
[03:38.642] Well, up the stairs ran Frankie Lee
[03:41.507] With a soulful, bounding leap,
[03:44.879] And, foaming at the mouth,
[03:47.724] He began to make his midnight creep.
[03:50.955] For sixteen nights and days he raved,
[03:54.205] But on the seventeenth he burst
[03:57.537] Into the arms of Judas Priest,
[04:00.564] Which is where he died of thirst.
[04:04.181] No one tried to say a thing
[04:07.106] When they took him out in jest,
[04:10.459] Except, of course, the little neighbor boy
[04:13.548] Who carried him to rest.
[04:17.041] And he just walked along, alone,
[04:19.662] With his guilt so well concealed,
[04:21.247] And muttered underneath his breath,
[04:25.595] "Nothing is revealed."“
[04:42.173] Well, the moral of the story,
[04:45.039] The moral of this song,
[04:48.390] Is simply that one should never be
[04:51.419] Where one does not belong.
[04:54.710] So when you see your neighbor carryin' somethin',
[04:57.818] Help him with his load,
[05:01.149] And don't go mistaking Paradise
[05:04.093] For that home across the road.
