Mrs. McGrath - Bruce Springsteen

Mrs. McGrath LRC歌词

[00:26.35]"Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said,“

[00:29.45]"Would you like to make a solider out of your son Ted?“

[00:32.14]With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat,

[00:34.93]And Mrs. McGrath, wouldn't you like that?"

[00:37.85]chorus

[00:39.13]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[00:43.58]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[00:48.46]

[00:51.49]Now, Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore,

[00:53.69]And after seven years or more

[00:56.62]She spied a ship come into the bay

[00:58.84]With her son from far away

[01:01.74]"Oh captain dear, where have you been?“

[01:04.29]You've been sailing the Mediterranean.

[01:06.99]Have you news of my son Ted?

[01:09.92]Is he living or is he dead?"

[01:12.95]chorus

[01:13.66]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[01:18.32]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[01:24.06]

[01:26.61]Up came Ted without any legs

[01:28.30]And in their place, two wooden pegs.

[01:30.98]She kissed him a dozen times or two

[01:33.34]

[01:36.85]"Now were you drunk or were you blind“

[01:38.85]When you left your two fine legs behind?

[01:42.41]Or was it walking upon the sea

[01:44.20]That wore your two fine legs away?"

[01:47.01]chorus

[01:47.85]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[01:52.38]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[01:57.76]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[02:02.90]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[02:09.29]

[02:11.67]"No, I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind.“

[02:13.57]When I left my two fine legs behind.

[02:17.01]A cannon ball on the fifth of May.

[02:18.81]Tore my two fine legs away."

[02:22.40]"Oh, Teddy boby," the window cried.“

[02:24.12]"Your two fine legs were your mother's pride.“

[02:27.31]Stumps of a tree won't do at all.

[02:29.69]Why didn't you run from the cannon ball?"

[02:32.22]chorus

[02:34.26]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[02:38.15]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[02:43.34]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[02:48.98]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[02:54.77]

[03:27.02]"All foreign wars I do proclaim“

[03:29.26]Live on the blood and the mothers'pain.

[03:32.09]I'd rather have my son as he used to be

[03:34.53]Than the King of America and his whole navy."

[03:37.99]chorus

[03:39.83]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[03:45.61]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[03:50.87]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[03:56.24]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[04:01.61]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a

[04:06.82]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
