Текст песни Georgia Moon (Pierce Pettis) с переводом

'neath Antebellum mansions

Where the ancient floorboards sag

And Spanish moss sways gently as

A tattered Rebel flag

Strolling past wrought iron fences

Tipped with rusty spikes

I felt the softness of your hand

You were beautiful that night

We walked in long shadows

Long after it was dark

Took our shoes off by the fountain

Down at the city park

Your flowered dress was clinging and

Your hair was stringy wet

We kissed beneath the white cascade

I never will forget

Georgia moon

Hanging down like a tear

From God’s own eye

Laying low in the bottom of the sky

Sneaking upon me like a thief in the night

Every time it makes me think of you

Long ago beneath the Georgia moon

In the Confederate cemetary

A sentry stood on high

Expressionless despite

A fuselage of fireflies

On the graves of our grandfathers

Where the grass is long and cool

It was there we laid our blanket down

Like a flag of truce

On your mother’s wide veranda

We said our last goodbyes

You were off to college by

The red dawn’s early light

Now your memory still shines on me

Part Heaven and part Hell

Oh to reach for the roses, we

Must feel the thorns as well

Georgia moon…
