Текст песни Spoon River (Steve Goodman) с переводом

All of the river boat gamblers are losing their shirts

And all of the brave union soldier boys sleep in the dirt

But you know and I know, there never was reason to hurt

All of our lives were entwined to begin with

Here in spoon river

All of the calico dresses, the gingham and lace

Are up in the attic with Grandfather’s derringer case

There’s words whispered down in the hallway, a shadowy face

The morning is heavy with one more beginning

Here in spoon river

Come to the dance, Mary Perkins, I like you right well

The union’s preserved, if you listen you’ll hear all the bells

There must be a heaven, the Lord knows that I’ve seen mostly hell

My rig is outside, come and ride through the morning

Here in spoon river

All of the river boat gamblers are losing their shirts

And all of the brave union soldier boys sleep in the dirt

But you know and I know, there never was reason to hurt

All of our lives were entwined to begin with

Here in spoon river
