Dismountin' from my high horse

Yeah sure I knew it all then up again' the counter

'Til I turned to go that is

But after it got dark much later;

Down by the pinkeen bridge

I cried buckets in the river

When Mickser sang "Oh gentle Swallows"

For knowin' it all is a lonely place to be

Yet still I found it very hard to say

And caught me in its beam
将我笼罩在它的光芒中
Before I went under yet again

For the very last time

I was ridin' the high stool expandin' and expoundin'

Swimming in the wine lakes and climbing the beef mountains
