Текст песни Rock Salt and Nails (Earl Scruggs) с переводом

On the banks of the river,

where the willows hang down

And the wild birds all warble

with a low moaning sound

Down in the hollow,

Where the waters run cold,

It was there I first listened

To the lies that you told

Now I lay on my bed

And I see your sweet face.

The past I remeber,

Time cannot erase.

The letter you wrote me,

It was written in shame.

And I know that your conscience

Still echoes my name.

The nights are so long,

And sorrow runs deep.

And nothing is worse

Than a night with out sleep.

I’ll walk out alone

And look at the sky.

Too empty to sing,

Too lonesome to cry.

If the ladies were blackbirds

And the ladies were thrushes,

I’d lie there for hours

In the chilly, cold marshes.

If the ladies were squirrels

With a high bushy tail

I’d fill up my shotgun

With rock salt and nails.
