Lirik Lagu Oxford Tragedy (traditional Version) Nick Cave & The Bad Seed
About Sixteen Years Of Age;
My Father Hired Me To A Miller
That I Might Learn The Trade.
I Fell In Love With A Knoxville Girl,
Her Name Was Flora Dean.
Her Rosy Cheeks, Her Curly Hair,
I Really Did Admire.
Her Father He Persuaded Me
To Take Flora For A Wife;
The Devil He Persuaded Me
To Take Flora's Life.
Up Stepped Her Mother So Bold And Gay,
So Boldly She Did Stand;
Johnny Dear, Go Marry Her
And Take Her Off My Hands.
I Went Unto Her Father's House
About Nine O'clock At Night,
A-asking Her To Take A Walk
To Do Some Prively Talk.
We Had Not Got So Very Far
Till Looking Around And Around,
He Stooping Down Picked Up A Stick
And Knocks Little Flora Down.
She Fell Upon Her Bended Knees,
For Mercy She Did Cry:
O Johnny Dear, Don't Murder Me,
For I'm Not Fit To Die.
I Took Her By Her Lily-white Hands
A-slung Her Around And Around;
I Drug Her Off To The River-side,
And Plunged Her In To Drown.
I Returned Back To My Miller's House
About Nine O'clock At Night,
But Little Did My Miller Know
What I Had Been About.
The Miller Turned Around And About,
Said:" Johnny, What Blooded Your Clothes?"
Me Being So Apt To Take A Hint:
By Bleeding At The Nose.
About Nine Or Ten Days After That,
Little Flora She Was Found
A-floating Down By Her Father's House
Who Lived In Knoxville Town.
