Текст песни Simple Man (The Stray Birds) с переводом

I drag my plow from field to field

My back is nearly broken

But in my mind I been doing something right

Still my deeds seem to go unspoken

I am a simple man

Don’t ask for nothing

Don’t reach out for your hand

Let me die on my land

My father died when I was still young

That I had to make life on my own

I was sleeping in the woods, I was living on bread crumbs

Make a boy feel so god-awful alone

My mule has gone lame

And my work, work goes slow

These times bring me a little sorrow

Got no food on my table

No wood in my fire

And I pray some nights I don’t wake up tomorrow

Well I can’t feed my children anymore

And I hear death knockin' around my door

Let me die and grieve no more
