Текст песни My Sweet Annette (Drive-By Truckers) с переводом

Me and my Annette, we was as fond as we could be

We was set to marry in October '33

I set my sights to courtin' her, as fine as she could be

I never ever noticed her best friend Marilee

Took a job at the saw mill and I bought my girl a ring

Had a pre-wedding party, close friends and family

Everything was fine, eatin' homemade ice cream

I swear I never noticed maid of honor Marilee

And my sweet Annette was left standing at the altar

My sweet Annette was left standing at the altar

Marilee was taken ill, it was several miles from home

Back then it wasn’t fittin' for a girl to leave alone

Sweet Annette, she asked me to walk her to the door

As innocent as children back before the war

And my sweet Annette was left standing at the altar

My sweet Annette was left standing at the altar

Lord have mercy for what we done

Lord have mercy when two people get alone

Neither one of us had done anything like that, you see

By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee

By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee

By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee

My sweet Annette was left standing at the altar
