Текст песни Fatal Flower Garden (Peggy Seeger) с переводом

It rained, it poured, it rained so hard

Rained so hard all day

That all the boys in our school

Came out to toss and play

They tossed their ball again so high

Then again so low

They tossed into a flower garden

Where no one was allowed to go

Up stepped a beautiful lady

All dressed in yellow and green

Come in, come in, my pretty little boy

And fetch your ball again

I won’t come in, I shan’t come in

Without my playmates all

I’ll go to my father and tell him about it

And that’ll cause tears to fall

She first showed him an apple seed

Then a guinea gold ring

Then she showed him a diamond

And that enticed him in

She took him by his lily white hand

And led him through the hall

She put him into an uppermost room

Where no one could hear him call

O, take these finger rings off my fingers

Smoke them with your breath

If any of my friends should call for me

Tell them that I’m at rest

Tether the Bible at my head

The testament at my feet

If my dear mother should call for me

Tell her that I’m asleep

Tether the Bible at my feet

The Testament at my head

If my dear father should call for me

Tell him that I am dead
