Good King Wenceslas - The Cougars

作词：Lalah Hathaway

作曲：Ozzie Warlock And The Wizzards

May I sleep in your barn Mister

It is cold lying out on the ground

And the cold north wind is whistling

And I have no place to lie down

Now I have no tobacco nor matches

And I'm sure I can cause you no harm

I will tell you my story kind Mister

For it runs through my heart like a storm

It was three years ago just last summer

I shall never forget that sad day

When a stranger came out from the city

And said that he wanted to stay

Now the stranger was fair tall and handsome

And he looked like a man who had wealth

And he wanted to stay in the country said

He wanted to stop for his health

One night as I came from my workshop

I was whistling and singing with joy

I expected a kind hearty

Welcome from my sweet loving wife and my boy

But what did I find but a letter

It was placed in my room on the stand

And the moment my eyes fell upon

It I picked it right up in my hand

Now this note said my wife

And the stranger had left and had taken my son

Oh I wonder if God up in heaven

Only knows what this stranger has done

May I sleep in your barn Mister

It is cold lying out on the ground

And the cold north wind is a whistling

And I have no place to lie down
