''The Ballad of Eskimo Nell'' (Roud 10124) is a bawdy rhymed recitation or song that recounts the tale of Deadeye Dick, his accomplice Mexican Pete and a woman they meet on their travels, named Eskimo Nell. In the view of some, Eskimo Nell is in her own way an authentic heroine and, by the yardstick of the sentiments of the poem, gets the better of Dick in the end. It is certainly true that Dick's manhood is belittled in the end by Nell. Nevertheless, some critics see the poem as an example of sex-hate literature. The ballad makes frequent use of crude and (to some) offensive body-related terminology, with humorous consequences. ==Traditional lyrics== There are multiple variations to the poem and some stanzas are left out of certain versions but the basic narrative structure remains constant. It details the adventures of the generously endowed Deadeye Dick and his gunslinging sidekick, Mexican Pete. Fed up with their sex life at Dead Man's Creek, they travel to the Rio Grande. There they visit a whore-house, but before Dick has finished with two out of the 40 whores, they are confronted by Eskimo Nell. She is described as something of a sexual champion, and challenges Dick to satisfy her. Dick accepts but Nell's skill and power soon gets the better of him and he climaxes prematurely. Pete attempts to avenge his mate's affront by sticking his gun up Nell and firing all six rounds but all this achieves is to bring Nell to her own orgasm. Disappointed, Eskimo Nell chides the pair for their poor performance. She expresses nostalgia for her home in the frozen North, where the men apparently have better staying power. Dick and Pete return to Dead Man's Creek, their pride severely dented. The opening lines (in one version) are: ::''Gather 'round, all ye whorey!'' ::''Gather 'round and hear my story!'' ::''When a man grows old, and his balls grow cold,'' ::''And the tip of his prick turns blue,'' ::''Far from a life of Yukon strife,'' ::''He can tell you a tale or two.'' ::''So pull up a seat, and buy me one neat'' ::''And a tale to you I will tell,'' ::''About Dead-Eye Dick and Mexican Pete,'' ::''And a harlot named Eskimo Nell.'' Other stanzas: ::''When Dead-Eye Dick and Mexican Pete'' ::''Go forth in search of fun,'' ::''It's Dead-Eye Dick that swings the prick,'' ::''And Mexican Pete the gun.'' ::''When Dead-Eye Dick and Mexican Pete'' ::''Are sore, depressed and sad,'' ::''It's always a cunt that bears the brunt,'' ::''But the shooting's not so bad'' ::''Now Dead-Eye Dick and Mexican Pete'' ::''Lived down by Dead Man's Creek, '' ::''And such was their luck that they'd had no fuck '' ::''For nigh on half a week. '' ::''Oh, a moose or two, and a caribou,'' ::''And a bison cow or so,'' ::''But for Dead-Eye Dick with his kingly prick,'' ::''This fucking was mighty slow.'' ::''Dick pound on his cock with a huge piece of rock'' ::''And said, "I want to play!"'' ::''It's been almost a week at this fucking creek,'' ::''With no cunt coming my way.'' ::''So, do or dare, this horny pair'' ::''Set off for the Rio Grand.'' ::''Dead-Eye Dick with his kingly prick,'' ::''And Pete with his gun in hand.'' ::''Then as they blazed their noisy trail,'' ::''No man, their path withstood.'' ::''Many a bride, her husband's pride,'' ::''A pregnant widow stood.'' The closing stanza mimics the opening: ::''When a man grows old, and his balls grow cold,'' ::''And the tip of his prick turns blue,'' ::''And the hole in the middle refuses to piddle,'' ::''I'd say he was fucked, wouldn't you?'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Ballad of Eskimo Nell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
