Текст песни Johnson's Station (Tom Flannery) с переводом

Occasionally someone will pass

With eyes like the bottom of a whiskey glass

Asking 'bout highway 9

I’ll clear my throat and scratch my nose

A little peculiar I suppose

But I know what’s mine

Been down here a few years

Followed a trail of union tears

That were never washed away

I watched as men crossed that line

Watched as men took what’s mine

Well it’s just ain’t my way

Chorus:

Down at Johnson’s Station

Some watched and some went in

Some purged it from their memory

And tried to begin again

Them dues didn’t come out like they went in

And soon it was empty hands again

And them barrel fires didn’t burn so bright

The horns stopped blowing as they rode past

And some found solace in a whiskey glass

And some took to dealing with the night

Can never say I’m homesick

'cause I ain’t never had no home (2)

A company comes and breaks down a man

Then it takes and takes all it can

Then leaves 'em lying like a carcass on the road

So the faces may not seem too bright

And minds are frozen on that night

Down at Johnson’s Station ready to explode

(chorus)
