Текст песни Come Sit By The River (The Country Gentlemen) с переводом

There’s some TV show that you’re missing

But you know how an old man loves to talk

And he needs someone who will listen

Ch. Come and sit by the river with me for a while

And I’ll tell you a story that’s true

Of when I was a boy playing here on the shore

And the grass was so green and the water so blue

Of course they took it down for the highway

I can see my mamma’s tears, we’d been there for twenny years

And you know we would still if I had my way

With the rest of the neighbourhood children

There was so much we could do, there was fishing, swimming too

There was always some raft that we were building

Ch.

Rolling down from the hills to the ocean

I have seen the waters high almost fast and rushing by

I have seen it nearly dry and without motion

So we’ve prospered but poisoned the waters

Now the tunes have all been played and the piper must be paid

Not by us but our sons and daughters

Ch.

Ch.

THE COUNTRY GENTLEMEN — Sit Down Young Stranger
