Rick Miller - The Plague şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Rick Miller

albüm: Unstuck in Time


I live with my family in Cock and Key Alley
The year 1665
The son of a gravedigger gave me a trade
A shilling a grave kept us alive
♪
But then the darkness comes
As I greet the rising sun
The pall of the black death hangs over me
As I count the morning dead
Their doors are marked with red
The stench of miasma in the air
From which the plague is fed
♪
The dogs and the cats have now been taken away
There's nothing left to stop them so the rats rule the day
My mother and brother are now locked up inside
Along with my father who they tell me has died
♪
(Ring around the rosie)
(A pocket full of posies)
(Ashes, ashes)
But then the darkness comes
As I greet the rising sun
The pall of the black death hangs over me
As I count the morning dead
Their doors are marked with red
I'm certain that God has forsaken this place
Where angels fear to tread
♪
The plague came and went that year in Cock and Key Alley
A third of the population died
My family were counted with the numbers of dead
I dig their unmarked graves as I cry
