Текст песни A Mountaineer is Always Free (Pierce Pettis) с переводом

I’m one of the few, proud to be standing

I walked up the pier from the coffin ships landing

My clothes were just rags, no use in this weather

But my back was strong, my hands tough as leathe

I climbed up these hills till I came to the spot where I stand

I cleared these fields and I pulled up the stumps with my hands

No more a wanderer, no more a refugee

A mountaineer is always free

Took a Cherokee bride, she gave me five babies

I sang at the wakes, I cried at the weddings

I taught all my children the songs of my youth

To dance to the fiddle and practice the truth

I carried them up on my shoulders to where they could see

The whole world before them just so they would know what it means

No more a wanderer, no more a refugee

A mountaineer is always free

No kings and no landlords to treat us like beggars and thieves

There’s no one but God here to fear or to look down on me

No more a wanderer, no more a refugee

A mountaineer is always free
