Текст песни Poor Boy Long Way from Home (Jeff Buckley) с переводом

Me and poor boy was travelling

Travelling a long way from home

Me and poor boy got brought off

Got brought off and praised and found

My dear mother, she got worried

When we was down all in the farm

Mama, she called that farmer up

And he told her that it’s a-prison bound

My dear mother got on the farm

She called down a little far

My mother talked to the sergeant

He wanted not to have mercy on me

Well this sergeant told dear mother

He would take 200 dollar bill

We didn’t have no one

To come and get us out on bail

Poor boy, he got all worried

walking to us breaking down

I said «Poor boy don’t worry

Our mother get us out of prison bound»

Well this sergeant told dear mother

He would take two hundred dollar bill

We didn’t have no one

To come and get us out of bail

Oh, my mother she got worried

She couldn’t get them two hundred dollar bill

So one Sunday morning

My mother, she drove to the farm

Well, the sergeant met my mother

Drove on up to at the gate

My mother she told the sergeant

She never had no two hundred dollar bill

Well, my mother she kneeled down

My mother kneeled down on her knee

Oh, my mother pleased the Sergeant

Will you please sir have some mercy on me?

My dear mother, she cryin'

Told the sergeant, then she broke down

He said «These boys promised

They will not on my train»

I said «Listen brother poor boy

Don’t be worry crime

Somebody, somebody, somewhere
