[00:00.00]Shoulda Known - William Galison/Madeleine Peyroux (玛黛琳·蓓荷)
[00:23.03]One hot night in the middle of June
[00:26.17]In a Lousiana Bayou by the light of the moon
[00:29.75]By the bank of a river on an old dead log
[00:33.31]Sat a shiny black scorpion and a big green frog
[00:44.53]Now the water was deep and the river was wide
[00:47.80]And the Scorpion had commitments on the opposite side
[00:51.13]She said hey Mr Froggy Id be mighty obliged
[00:54.88]If I could hop on your back and
[00:56.93]You could give me a ride
[00:58.56]Shoulda known
[01:02.04]Shoulda known
[01:05.59]Well my friends oh see me crying
[01:07.90]And all they can say is shoulda known
[01:13.40]Frog said Id love to but theres just one thing
[01:16.25]You got a bad reputation for a terrible sting
[01:20.26]If I take you 'cross the River like you're askin me to
[01:23.50]How do I know you won't sting me
[01:25.75]When the journey is through
[01:35.05]The scorpion said 'man don't believe
[01:37.07]The hype don't you fall for that tired old stereotype'
[01:42.18]If you do me this favor and deliver me there
[01:45.46]I will tell you a little secret only scorpions share
[01:49.12]Shoulda known
[01:52.60]Shoulda known
[01:56.16]Well my friends oh see me crying
[01:58.30]But all they can say is
[02:00.86]Shoulda known
[02:03.32]So our friends started out across the perilous flood
[02:07.12]And the scorpion weighed more than the frog thought she would
[02:10.78]But the froggy was strong and he knew hed prevail
[02:14.31]'Til he felt the deadly point of that scorpions tail
[02:19.70]Oh oh oh no
[02:25.22]So the water swept over the unfortunate pair
[02:28.76]And the froggy cried out with the last of his air
[02:32.46]He said 'why did you do it now you're goin down too'
[02:36.05]Said the Scorpion 'its my nature thats what scorpions do'
[02:39.45]You shoulda known
[02:43.18]You shoulda known
[02:46.74]Well my friends oh see me crying
[02:48.96]And all they can say is
[02:51.45]You shoulda known alright
[03:23.08]Well I met her downtown in a bleecker street bar
[03:26.57]Serenading some drunks for the tips in a jar
[03:30.42]Well I knew her reputation from the old grapevine
[03:33.47]But she sounded so sweet and she looked so fine
[03:44.77]Well she shot me a smile and she bought me a beer
[03:48.41]And she told the saddest story that you ever will hear
[03:52.08]My judgement dissolved in a bottle wine
[03:55.40]I was reading her lips and she was reading my mind
[03:59.03]Shoulda known shoulda
[04:01.55]Shouldn't known

[04:13.34]Now if call a this story isn't perfectly plain
[04:16.98]Know that happy ever after ain't the final refrain
[04:20.78]But my times getting short and the story is long
[04:24.26]But suffice it to say you find me singin' this song
