Tekst piosenki
It said his blade weighed half a tonne,
O' Spanish steel, Christ how it shone,
With a whistle & thump yer dash were done,
And the axe cared not for who you were,
He kept a cell below the tower,
Where he signed the cross every half an hour,
With a calf skin drum & a rattle tat taa,
The Jolly Executioner.
He had a son, a drunken sailor,
Coulda been a Tinker, Tyke, or tailor,
Sailed away to far Australia,
To be the executioner,
His rope were short, his knots were tight,
He’d plait the hemp by candle light,
With a crack & twang ye bade goodnight,
To the Jolly Executioner.
String em high & stretch em well,
Burn a candle, strike a bell,
Pipe their rotten souls to hell,
For the Jolly Executioner.
Then some bloke with a kite & key,
Invented electricity,
And the job were handed down to me,
So fortunate you wish you were,
I’ve cooked em all, the crooks & crumbs,
The vagabonds & hapless bums,
With a crackle & pop, 'Ol' Sparky' sung,
For the Jolly Executioner.
I had a son, near broke me heart,
A stand alone, a breed apart,
Brought death unto a dying art,
A general Practitioner,
All white lab coats & PHD’s,
And 10cc's of anti-freeze,
A noble art brought to its knees,
Farewell to the Executioner.
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Jego ostrze ważyło pół tony.,
O ' Spanish steel, Christ how it shone,
With a whistle & thump YER dash were done,
A topór nie dbał o to, kim jesteś.,
Trzymał celę pod wieżą.,
Gdzie podpisywał krzyż co pół godziny,
With a calf skin drum & a rattle tat taa,
Wesoły Kat.
Miał syna, pijanego marynarza.,
Mógł być Tinker, Tyke, lub krawiec,
/ Align = "left" / ,
Być katem,
Jego lina była krótka, jego węzły były ciasne.,
Zaplatał konopie przy świecach.,
With a crack & twang ye bade goodnight,
Za Wesołego Kata.
String em high & stretch em well,
"Burn a candle, strike a bell",
"Pipe their rotten souls to hell",
Dla Wesołego Kata.
Then some guy with a kite & key,
/ Align = "left" / ,
A praca została przekazana mnie.,
/ Align = "left" / ,
I ' ve goted em all, the crooks & crumbs,
The vagabonds & hapless bums,
With a crackle & pop,' Ol' Sparky ' sung,
Dla Wesołego Kata.
Miałem syna, który prawie złamał mi serce.,
A stand alone, a breed apart,
Przyniósł śmierć umierającej sztuce,
Lekarz ogólny,
All white lab coats & PHD ' s,
I 10 cm3 antyamrożenia,
A noble art brought to its knees,
Pożegnanie z katem.
