Devonside

Pela Devonside ela estava marchandoBy Devonside she was a-marching
Era um grupo de pouca importânciaIt was a gang of no great size
E a rendição era a bandeira que ela carregavaAnd surrender was the banner that she carried
E a fome era o tremor em seus olhosAnd hungry was the shiver in her eyes

Ela conheceu um garoto, sua saúde estava ruimShe met a boy, his health was failing
Ela largou a bandeira e pegou seu prêmioShe dropped the banner and took her prize
E a única comida que tinha era pão e morfinaAnd the only food she had was bread and morphine
Ah, mas ele se alimentava do tremor em seus olhosAh, but he fed on the shiver in her eyes

Pela Devonside o amor dele estava se perdendoBy Devonside his love was drifting
Ele buscava conforto em outro lugarHe looked for comfort otherwise
E nunca houve uma corda ou corrente ao seu redorAnd there never was a rope or chain about him
Ah, ela o segurava com o tremor em seus olhosAh, she held him with the shiver in her eyes

Ah, ela disse, meu John, eu serei seu travesseiroAh, she said, my John, I'll be your pillow
Serei sua amante, mãe, prostituta e esposaI'll be your lover, mother, whore and wife
E ele sabia que a amava e nunca a tinha vistoAnd he knew that he loved and never seen her
Quando a luz caiu do tremor em seus olhosWhen the light fell from the shiver in her eyes
