Текст песни Mary Turner Mary Turner (Xiu Xiu) с переводом

Mary Turner, Mary Turner

Mary Hattie Graham

19 years old and pregnant

Hazel Turner, Hazel Turner

Murdered by a lynch mob

She declares his crime a crime

And running for her life

She is, she is captured

Captured at Folsom Bridge

Gasoline and motor oil smeared on her clothes

She is hung up by her ankles from the tree

A match is struck and she is set ablaze

Mary Turner, Mary Turner

While still burning

Mary Turner, Mary Turner

While still alive

Split open with a knife

From her womb onto the ground

Looking up the first and only light it ever sees

The flames, the flame of its mother’s burning, burning

Reaching out the first and only loving touch it receives

The falling ash of its mommy’s hair on fire

The baby, baby cried in the dirt

Quieted, quieted by a boot’s heel

Mother and child, mother and child

999 more bullets from the crowd

Mary Turner, Mary Turner

Buried where they were murdered

A cigar stuffed in a whiskey jug

A whiskey jug to mark the grave

Fuck your guns

Fuck your war

Fuck your truck

Fuck your flag
