Текст песни Old Buddy, Goodnight (Utah Phillips) с переводом

I was there when they opened the boxcar

We found him stone dead on the floor

Though thumbing and bumming was all of our trade

No one had seen him before

He wore the face of a stranger

Lost and unseen in a crowd

He looked so small as we carried him down

Wrapped in a newspaper shroud

The wind blows cold in Wyoming

The stars shine clear and bright

If you don’t wake up tomorrow at all

I guess it’s old buddy goodnight

His hair was the color of winter

All streaked with iron and coal

And all you could see in his soft prairie eyes

Was the wind and the grass and the snow

The backs of his hands were like roadmaps

The lines on his face were the same

And on his left arm a faded tattoo

Bordered a rose and a name

The wind blows cold in Wyoming

The stars shine clear and bright

If you don’t wake up tomorrow at all

I guess it’s old buddy goodnight

Now I don’t know where he came from

His train was a UP freight

If there’s someone waiting for him on the coast

He’ll be a little bit late

So give a line for him in your paper

And here’s what I want you to say

There’s some things worse than dying alone

One of them’s living that way

The wind blows cold in Wyoming

The stars shine clear and bright

If you don’t wake up tomorrow at all

I guess it’s old buddy goodnight
