Luyện nghe bài hát Part Xi (the Hanging Song)

Wake up John, time to go Come along John and don't be slow
along John, don't be slow Wake up John, it's time to go
Wake up John, time to go
A priest the procession just to help me kneel
With a at my elbow and another at my heel
Marching in the morning down a I've lately seen
I was sleeping in garden, am I still within my dream?
The echo of my heartbeat is the of a drum
And all the earth is singing life's sweet hum
We filed in solemn silence, through a door
The place where life is taken for the of the law

(Chorus)
Shake the water, summon up the guard
very easy, waiting's very hard
A rope was hanging from the roof, a sight puzzles me
I thought a gibbet and a guard would make a tree
But now all is revealed, stamped there is the
My feet are on the trapdoor with a around my hand
And now the executioner is shaking with me
"My I must carry out, you poor fellow," says he
A strap is tied my feet and a bag upon my head
And then the noose separates the living from the dead

(Chorus)
There he whispers to me "Have you to say?"
My is dry, my throat is tight, I answer "Drop away"
Silence now surrounds me, my heart is on
The trapdoor moves at all, my life is still my own
They me in a corner with my hands and feet still bound
While a carpenter is for and an explanation found
"The has warped the timbers," I hear the hangman say
"It's funny but it worked well, I it yesterday"
"All is mended now," they say, "your ordeal's over
Your life's as as ended," but I hear their voices waver
Once more the ?board is and again I hang in limbo
While the jump on the trapdoor and my body stands on tip-toe

(Chorus)
They stand me in a corner my hands and feet still ties
A warder holds onto the noose, the trapdoor opens
Is it magic or that keeps me on the brink?
It seems to work without me, "Will it kill me now?" I
"Please, I'm of living and I really want to die"
I was taken to the scaffold and I the hangman cry
"Lee, I'm truly sorry, forgive these of mine"
He drew the bolt and I felt the jolt the third and time
My life was spared morning 'cos it wasn't theirs to take
Three's the most the law requires, a man could the stake
(Repeat chorus)
