wilco - the unwelcome guest

주인공은 '검은 베스'라는 말을 타고 부자들의 세계에 들어가 그들에게서 stolen 재산을 언급하며 나름의 정의를 이야기한다
그는 일하는 사람들을 괴롭히지 않는 자신과, 부자의 탐욕스러운 삶을 대조하며, 불법적인 방법이 아닌 자신의 방식을 고수하는 결의를 다진다

To the rich man's bright lodges, I ride in this wind
On my good horse, I call you my shiny black Bess
To the playhouse of fortune to take the bright silver
And gold you have taken from somebody else
And as we go riding in the damp foggy midnight
You snort, my good pony, and you give me your best
For you know and I know good horse 'mongst the rich ones
How oft times we go there, an unwelcome guest
I never took food from the widows and orphans
And never a hardworking man I oppressed
So take your pace easy, for home, soon like lightning
We soon will be riding my shiny black Bess
No fat rich man's pony can ever overtake you
And there's not a rider from the east to the west
Could hold you alight in this dark mist and midnight
When the potbellied thieves chase the unwelcome guest
I don't know, good horse, as we trot in this dark here
That robbing the rich is for worse or for best
They take it by stealing and lying and gambling
And I take it my way, my shiny black Bess
