The Red Rose and the Briar Lyrics – John Wesley Harding

Singer: John Wesley Harding
Title: The Red Rose and the Briar

So we played in ben lomond last night. it’s uh, basically there’d been an armed robbery there that day. and when we arrived there were like, no people and thirty-five police cars all swarming around. and uh, my friend jim suggested that it had been one of the largest bill thefts in the history of northern california. and nobody, there wouldn’t be any excellent bear statues for a long while. but in fact it turned out it was an armed robbery and when we got out of the gig they’d found the guy. they were swarming around his house.
Um, in the meanwhile what had happened was we’d arrived at the gig, and i had gotten out my little, you know, my little yuppie cell phone. and uh, ellis paul had gotten out his little yuppie cell phone. and there was another guy there. and there were a lot of bikers in the bar where we were gonna play. they weren’t likely to spend eleven dollars on the ticket, i felt at a later date. so i felt we were quite safe until one of the women who was in a—unbelievably, there are gigs in america where they serve alcohol, and this was one of them. this isn’t one of them. i mean there are—i don’t know if you know, but you know, and uh—i just thought i’d mention it. and one of the women had been partaking, and she shouted at me at the top of her voice, “look at those pansies with their cell phones!”
At which point six bikers—and i felt like pee wee herman at this point—six, six bikers—second time i’ve said “pee wee” during this set, just thought i’d mention it— at which point six bikers turned around at me. i looked around at them, smiled, and continued talking, and she said— and i thought the whole thing would die there until she uttered the immortal words, “he didn’t deny it. he must be a pansy!” at which point i said to my friend on the phone, “i’m just about to get my #ss kicked now, uh—”
Anyway, this song is a request, which is why i’m playing it.

Midweek and we reached scarlet town
I was almost dying of thirst
We parked the car in some old schoolyard
The windscreen was caked in dirt

There was no water in the engine left
No tread upon the tyres
The electrics were broke ’cause you went mad
You ripped out all the wires

Across the road, a small cafe
In this state of disrepair
You went for papers and a shave
So i saved you a chair

We knew it wasn’t the journey’s end
That your dream was incomplete
But i just could not stand any more
I was dead upon my feet

I was dead upon my feet
There’s nothing there in the market square
But the ghost of the scarlet town crier
And i was dead upon my feet

Sing the red rose and the briar
Sing the red rose and the briar
The waitress, she told me her whole life story
She’d always meant to up and go

She wiped her cup on her red pinafore
And i waited for you to show
And i told her just a little of you
But i left the picture incomplete

You still weren’t there to paint it in person
So i stepped out on the street
The newsagent grinned, he said, yes, you’d been in
You bought a local paper and a pair of shades

The washroom attendant said that you’d freshened up
That you’d left but you had not paid
And i couldn’t figure out where you were
So i went back just to look near the car

There was nothing there where it should have been
Just oil on dirt and tar
Just oil on dirt and tar
Still nothing there in the market square

But the ghost of the scarlet town crier
There was nothing there where it should have been
Sing the red rose and the briar
Sing the red rose and the briar

I saw it parked way down the street
In a garage off on the right
And a man said, “well, get your hands off, son
I just traded that thing for a motorbike”

There was nothing left of mine inside
Not even that broken radio
And i couldn’t figure out where that left me
So i went back to look for rose

The lunchtime rouge, cafe rouge, was a lunchtime rush
Of regulars, they were yelling for food
The service in there left a lot to be desired
All them regulars were getting rude

I saw an apron thrown over a chair
A note said, “hey john, we’re gone, we’re gone”
And i just smiled ’cause i loved you both
So i put the apron on

I put the apron on
Still nothing there in the market square
But the ghost of the scarlet town crier
And i just put that apron on

Sing the red rose and the briar
Sing the red rose and the briar
Sing the red rose and the briar
Sing the red rose and the briar

Ladies and gentlemen, mr. robert lloyd on the mandolin.
Thank you very much.
Don’t hold it so high.
We practically live together; it’s quite forgivable.

The Red Rose and the Briar – Terjemahan / Translation

Jadi kami bermain di Ben Lomond tadi malam. Uh, pada dasarnya ada perampokan bersenjata di sana hari itu. Dan ketika kami tiba di sana, tidak ada orang dan tiga puluh lima mobil polisi yang semuanya berkerumun. Dan eh, teman saya Jim menyarankan bahwa itu adalah salah satu pencurian tagihan terbesar dalam sejarah California Utara. Dan tidak ada yang, tidak akan ada patung beruang yang sangat baik untuk waktu yang lama. Tapi sebenarnya ternyata itu adalah perampokan bersenjata dan ketika kami keluar dari pertunjukan mereka menemukan pria itu. Mereka berkerumun di sekitar rumahnya.
Um, s#mentara itu apa yang terjadi adalah kami telah tiba di pertunjukan, dan saya telah mengeluarkan kecil saya, Anda tahu, ponsel yuppie kecil saya. Dan eh, Ellis Paul telah mengeluarkan ponsel yuppie kecilnya. Dan ada pria lain di sana. Dan ada banyak pengendara motor di bar tempat kami akan bermain. Mereka tidak mungkin menghabiskan sebelas dolar untuk tiket, saya merasa di kemudian hari. Jadi saya merasa kami cukup aman sampai salah satu wanita yang berada di – tidak mungkin, ada pertunjukan di Amerika di mana mereka menyajikan alkohol, dan ini adalah salah satunya. Ini bukan salah satunya. Maksud saya ada – saya tidak tahu apakah Anda tahu, tetapi Anda tahu, dan eh – saya hanya berpikir saya akan menyebutkannya. Dan salah satu wanita telah mengambil bagian, dan dia meneriaki saya di bagian atas suaranya, “Lihatlah pansy itu dengan ponsel mereka!”
Pada titik mana enam pengendara motor – dan saya merasa seperti kencing herman pada saat ini – enam, enam pengendara sepeda – waktu kedua saya telah mengatakan “pee wee” selama set ini, hanya berpikir saya akan menyebutkannya – pada titik mana enam pengendara motor berbalik sekitar pada saya. Aku menatap mereka, tersenyum, dan terus berbicara, dan dia berkata— dan aku pikir semuanya akan mati di sana sampai dia mengucapkan kata -kata abadi, “Dia tidak menyangkalnya. Dia pasti Pansy!” Pada titik mana saya berkata kepada teman saya di telepon, “Saya baru saja akan menendang pantat saya sekarang, uh—”
Bagaimanapun, lagu ini adalah permintaan, itulah sebabnya saya memainkannya.

Pertengahan minggu dan kami mencapai Kota Scarlet
Saya hampir sekarat haus
Kami memarkir mobil di halaman sekolah tua
Kaca depan itu berlapis tanah

Tidak ada air di mesin yang tersisa
Tidak ada tapak di ban
Listrik pecah karena Anda menjadi gila
Anda merobek semua kabel

Di seberang jalan, sebuah kafe kecil
Dalam keadaan rusak ini
Anda pergi untuk kertas dan cukur
Jadi saya menyelamatkan Anda kursi

Kami tahu itu bukan akhir perjalanan
Bahwa mimpimu tidak lengkap
Tapi saya tidak tahan lagi
Aku mati di atas kakiku

Aku mati di atas kakiku
Tidak ada apa pun di alun -alun pasar
Tapi hantu crier kota merah
Dan saya mati di atas kaki saya

Sing the Red Rose and the Briar
Sing the Red Rose and the Briar
Pelayan, dia menceritakan seluruh kisah hidupnya
Dia selalu bermaksud untuk naik dan pergi

Dia menyeka cangkirnya di pinafore merahnya
Dan saya menunggu Anda untuk menunjukkan
Dan saya memberitahunya sedikit tentang Anda
Tapi saya meninggalkan gambar yang tidak lengkap

Anda masih belum ada untuk melukisnya secara langsung
Jadi saya melangkah keluar di jalan
Agen koran menyeringai, katanya, ya, Anda telah masuk
Anda membeli kertas lokal dan sepasang nuansa

Petugas kamar mandi mengatakan bahwa Anda telah menyegarkan diri
Bahwa Anda akan pergi tetapi Anda belum membayar
Dan saya tidak tahu di mana Anda berada
Jadi saya kembali hanya untuk melihat di dekat mobil

Tidak ada yang seharusnya ada
Hanya minyak di tanah dan tar
Hanya minyak di tanah dan tar
Masih tidak ada yang ada di alun -alun pasar

Tapi hantu crier kota merah
Tidak ada yang seharusnya ada
Sing the Red Rose and the Briar
Sing the Red Rose and the Briar

Saya melihatnya diparkir di jalan
Di garasi di sebelah kanan
Dan seorang pria berkata, “Baiklah, lepaskan tanganmu, nak
Saya baru saja memperdagangkan hal itu dengan sepeda motor ”

Tidak ada yang tersisa dari saya di dalam
Bahkan radio yang rusak itu
Dan saya tidak tahu di mana itu meninggalkan saya
Jadi saya kembali untuk mencari mawar

The Lunchtime Rouge, Cafe Rouge, adalah pemburu makan siang
Dari pelanggan tetap, mereka berteriak untuk makanan
Layanan di sana meninggalkan banyak hal yang diinginkan
Semua pelanggan tetap menjadi kasar

Saya melihat celemek dilemparkan ke atas kursi
Sebuah catatan berkata, “Hei John, kita pergi, kita pergi”
Dan aku hanya tersenyum karena aku mencintai kalian berdua
Jadi saya memakai celemek

Saya memakai celemek
Masih tidak ada yang ada di alun -alun pasar
Tapi hantu crier kota merah
Dan saya hanya memakai celemek itu

Sing the Red Rose and the Briar
Sing the Red Rose and the Briar
Sing the Red Rose and the Briar
Sing the Red Rose and the Briar

Hadirin sekalian, Tuan. Robert Lloyd pada mandolin.
Terima kasih banyak.
Jangan pegang begitu tinggi.
Kami praktis hidup bersama; itu cukup dimaafkan.
