Текст песни Behold The River (The Snake The Cross The Crown) с переводом

Well if both of these horses just a lay up and die

He thinks to himself as he stares into the sun

His companion’s been bleedin' and is weepin' to himself

Thinking oh my sweet sue

I won’t be a comin' home now

As them train tracks keep runnin' up that ever gentle slope

Margaret Anne hangs her head

And just keeps wondering what’s good

Her companions been bleedin' and is weepin' to himself

Thinking oh my sweet sue

I won’t be a comin' home now

That day that the rain came and just rose the flag of war

Mother Jones lays in bed, his children lyin' on the floor

And she got by, standin' in the churchyard singing hallelujah

Sweepin' out the bats from the bells of her voice

Who is she?

I am the river and I will take you to the see

And we got by

Floating, in the water singing, hallelujah

Waiting, on the lord

To bring us back home

You left us too soon

And I, I know what you’ll do

Someone knocks in the back at the door

Oh, Why’d you come?

Were you lookin' for more?

Don’t speak

Then the sharp steel rattle of your head on the floor

Oh, it got lost in the sound of the war

Don’t stay

Someone knocks in the back at the door

Oh, Why’d you come?

Were you lookin' for more?

Don’t speak

Then the sharp steel rattle of your head on the floor

Oh, it got lost in the sound of the war

Don’t leave

And, oh, you left us too soon

Now there’s two men ridin' up

Both wonderin' who is he

One says sir, I’ve observed you ridin' up behind’a me

Now them children hear em headed up around the bend

Crying, Ma, best come on, here come our fathers back to bed
