Текст песни Banks of the River (Peter Case) с переводом

Frank and Tony were brothers, they ran away from home

They made it down to Memphis where they sat an' watched the river flow

On the banks of the river, on the banks of the river, child

An old man on the bank of the river sat and played an old guitar

Frank reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a beat up harp

(And began to blow)

And they played on the banks of the river, the banks of the river, child

And Tony told the kid about it and that little kid was me

And when I finally ran away from home with someone chasin' after me

I made it down to the banks of the river, the banks of the river, child

They made it out to the country but the cops didn’t want’em around

So Officer Bartlet and Officer Fliss said, «Tony' now you better leave town»

He ran down to the banks of the river, child

Tony caused a lot of trouble and he hurt a couple people too

And he’d sit up late at night and cry

'Cause he didn’t know what to do on the banks

On the banks of the river, child

I ain’t seen 'em forever, don’t know if they still alive

But when I hear someone blowin' the harp

Down on the riverside, on the banks of the river, on the banks of the river

In the green grass, by the river Glass

While a soft breeze stirs and the trucks roll past
