Текст песни Mother Of A Honky Tonk Girl (Jim Reeves) с переводом

I’m the mother of a honky tonk girl

And I die when they speak my babies name

I hope that God will forgive me For now I know that I’m to blame.

(Spoken — Jim)

Excuse me friend

For intruding this way

But there’s somethng

I’ve just got to say.

I remember this girl

They’re whispering about

Just like it was yesterday

When she was small.

They’d bring her in the tavern

And set her on a stool

And give her a drink of their beer and laugh.

I thought, oh, you crazy fools.

But what could I do Or what could I say

I’m just a bar tender

And work here for my pay.

And I just cry

When I hear a mother say.

(Sang — Carol)

I’m the mother of a honky tonk girl

And I die when they speak my babies name

I hope that God will forgive me For now I know that I’m to blame.

(Spoken — Jim)

You probably wonder why

I chose to condemn the stuff I sell

But I’ve seen the hurt it’s caused

And the souls it’s sent to hell.

Once they’re on the wrong road

With temptation let us turn around

Like the girl they’re all talking about

The one they’re running down.

Instead of giving her a drink of beer

Where angels have never trod

They should have given her a taste of love

Yes, and a taste of God.

(Sang — Carol)

I hope that God will forgive me

I’m the mother of a honky tonk girl…
