peter bellamy – i once lived in service كلمات اغاني
i once lived in service to a lady so fine
i’ve served her by night and by day_o
i’ve carried the dishes when the lady would dine
and after, i cleared them away_o
oh dear me, how can it be?
the life of a servant is all slavery
i’ve made up her bed and i turned down her sheets
i ironed the dresses she wore_o
i’ve peeled her potatoes, i’ve roasted her meats
and ’twas i, with me broom, swept her floor_o
oh dear me, how can it be?
the life of a servant is all misery
i scrubbed her front doorstep, i polished her plate
i put coals in the pan for her bed_o
i’ve rose before sunlight to black_lead her grate
and at midnight i’ve laid down my head_o
oh dear me, how can it be?
the life of a servant is all drudgery
i’ve carried her water, i’ve answered her door
i’ve polished the shoes for her feet_o
and when she went to church, then her prayer book i bore
behind as she marched down the street_o
oh dear me, how can it be?
the life of a servant’s a penance to me
now, i met a young man in the village one day
as i run to the shop for her bread_o
he’s asked me my name, but i had to away
lest me mistress should break me poor head_o
oh dear me, how can it be?
the life of a servant has no liberty
so that night, as i lay in my attic so bare
i resolved that i would run away_o
and all for to honour the wagoner’s fare
some silver spoons took for me pay_o
oh dear me, how can it be?
the life of a servant is melancholy
now i lie in prison but i will not weep
who knows what tomorrow may hold_o
there’s some fine lads in here for me company to keep
there’s strong arms for to keep me from cold_o
oh dear me, how can it be?
the life of a convict is all chivalry
now i’ve known confinement the most of me years
small freedom did i ever ken_o
some prisons, sure, they have no cold iron bars
but some prisons, why, they have no men_o
oh dear me, how can it be?
the life of a convict’s a pleasure to me
dear me, how can it be?
the life of a servant was never so free
