Текст песни Dog Canyon (Utah Phillips) с переводом

Ten thousand shorthorns are moving in fast

They drink lots of water, they eat lots of grass;

Your penny stockbrokers have made quite a change

Now our old outfit’s drove to the edge of the range

In Canyon del Perro there’s grapes on the vine

The water runs sweet as an old Spanish wine

The high Tularosas they make a fine home

For a man who don’t mind living up there alone

Young Perry Altman was burned out last night

They shot George McDonald 'cause he wanted to fight

The days of the longhorn are over I guess

When your syndicate gunmen have run out the rest

Way up in Dog Canyon old Frenchie holds out

Half-blind and crippled but he never knows drouth;

He has good water. Tell me what would you do

If you had to protect it from Billy McNew?

He dreams of a village where the sun always shines

And he dreams of his family when it comes Christmas time

Now he dreams in his doorway with a gun in his hand

And Oliver Lee says «You crazy old man.»

Well Frenchie he fires but the shot it goes wide

He falls to the floor with a hole in his side

And his water runs down to the ranches below

When the high Tularosas are covered with snow
