Mary Hamilton

Word is to the kitchen gone And word is to the hall
And word is up to Madam the Queen And that's the worst of all
That Mary Hamilton's born a babe to the highest  Stuart of all

 

Arise arise Mary Hamilton
Arise and tell to me What thou hast done with thy wee babe
I saw and heard weep by thee
I put him in a tiny boat And cast him out to sea

That he might sink or he might swim

But he'd never come back to me 

Arise, arise, Mary Hamilton Arise and come with me
There is a wedding in Glasgow town This night we'll go and see 
She put not on her robes of black Nor her robes of brown
But she put on robes of white To ride into Glasgow town

And as she rode into Glasgow town The city for to see
The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife

Cried Ach and alas for thee
Ah you need not weep for me she cried

You need not weep for me
For had I not slain my own wee babe This death I would not dee
 
Ah little did my mother think When first she cradled me
The lands I was to travel in And the death I was to dee
Last night I washed the Queen's feet

And put the gold on her hair
And the only reward I find for this The gallows to be my share

Cast off cast off my gown she cried But let my petticoat be
And tie a napkin round my face  The gallows I would not see 
Then by and come the King himself Looked up with a pitiful eye
Come down come down Mary Hamilton

Tonight you'll dine with me
 
Ah hold your tongue my sovereign liege And let your folly be
For if you'd a mind to save my life

You'd never have shamed me here 
Last night there were four Marys Tonight there'll be but three

There was Mary Beaton and Mary Seaton
And Mary Carmichael and me

저항과 지성의 음악가 "Joan Baez" 의 "Mary Hamilton"인데요

대부분 저항가요인 그녀의 음악중 몇 곡 안되는 일반곡 중 하나입니다.

한국에선 "양희은"의 "아름다운 것들" 이라는 노래로 번안 되어 히트 했죠!

이 곡은 "박강수"라는 신세대 포크가수의 목소리 입니다.

치열하게 살아왔던 시대에  "Joan Baez"의 음악은 늘 민중곁에 있었고

환갑이 넘은 지금도 그녀의 위안을 필요로 하는 곳이라면 기타를 들고

달려가고 있답니다.............................................................................
