Текст песни How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live (Bruce Springsteen) с переводом

Well, the doctor comes 'round here

With his face all bright

And he says, «In a little while

You’ll be alright»

All he gives is a humbug pill

A dose of dope and a great big bill

Tell me how can a poor man

Stand such times and live?

Me and my old school pals

Had some mighty high times down here

And what happened to you poor black folks

Well, it just ain’t fair

He took a look around, gave a little pep talk

Said, «I'm with you», then he took a little walk

Tell me how can a poor man

Stand such times and live?

There’s bodies floatin' on Canal

And the levees gone to Hell

Martha, get me my sixteen gauge

And some dry shells

Them who’s got, got out of town

And them who ain’t got left to drown

Tell me how can a poor man

Stand such times and live?

Go ahead

Got family scattered from Texas

All the way to Baltimore

Yeah, and I ain’t got no home

In this world, no more

Gonna be a judgment that’s a fact

A righteous train rollin' down this track

Tell me how can a poor man

Stand such times and live?

Tell me how can a poor man

Stand such times and live?

Tell me how can a poor man

Stand such times and live?
