Текст песни Last Dance at Salinas (Bill Staines) с переводом

The barroom is cold and half empty

The floor has been swept so it’s clean

Pushed back in the corner with the face of a mourner

Sits a dutiful U. S. Marine

Then prancing on in through the doorway

And swinging her hips like a pro

Comes a middle aged townie and when she looks down

Oh, she focuses on G. I. Joe

Oh, she says her name’s Betty Grable

And he says he’s really John Wayne

When you’re five miles from nowhere with nothing

Who gives a damn 'bout a name?

Now he don’t look much like a cowboy

And her legs aren’t perfectly formed

But they dance through the night as the jukebox sets right

All the longings that long nights have born

And they dance like there’s no beginning

And they love like the pictures they’ve seen

At the Bijou on Fourth Street and Broadway

In the light of the silvery screen

So if you say your name’s Betty Grable

I’ll say I’m really John Wayne

When you’re five miles from nowhere with nothing

Who gives a damn 'bout a name?

When you’re five miles from nowhere with nothing, Who gives a damn 'bout a name?
