Текст песни Nobody Knew His Name (John Hiatt) с переводом

Well a man in a Cadillac used to come around here

Looking for a long black train

Said his baby left town with an engineer

Cut across the midnight rain, boys

Straight across the midnight rain

Now everybody said he’d been in Vietnam

When he was pretty young

That’s where his buddy got killed when his rifle jammed

Now the fighting ain’t never done, boys

No the fighting ain’t never done

Red tip of a cigarette glowin'

Windows up against the rain

Night so dark, there was nothing else showin'

Nobody knew his name, boys

Nobody knew his name

Sheriff run him off every once in a while

But he would be right back

With a cup of coffee, an old newspaper

Sitting by the side of the tracks, boys

Crying by the side of the tracks

He’d try to keep from turning the tables

Hired walking horses out at Suffolk Downs

But there was always some whiskey back at the stables

If you knew where to look around, boys

If you knew where to look around

Red tip of a cigarette glowin'

Windows up against the rain

Night so dark, there was nothing else showin'

But nobody knew his name, boys

Nobody knew his name

Slinging pizza and beer down at Waterfront Park

Handicapping dogs for the clientèle

A different pick for each one

Yeah, it didn’t matter who won

Somebody gonna tip him well, boys

Somebody gonna tip him well

Well they found him in his Cadillac car

Out behind the old farm store

He was sitting there like he was going somewhere

And he wasn’t coming back no more, boys

He wasn’t coming back no more
