Текст песни Po' Boy (Burl Ives) с переводом

As I sat down to see how the cards read

I could not hold my hand

Got a thinking about the woman I love

Run away with another man

Run away with another man poor boy

Run away with another man

Got a thinking about the woman I loved

Run away with another man

I went down to the train depot

The train came rumbling by

Well I looked in a window

Saw the woman I loved

And I hung down my head and cried

I hung down my head and cried

I jumped right on that train platform

I ran right down the isle

well I pulled out my fourty some odd

And I shot that dark-skin child

The night was dark and the wind blew

The rain it sure did rain

Well I ain’t got a friend in this whole wide world

Nobody knows my name
