Текст песни Shirt Of Blue (The Men They Couldn't Hang) с переводом

Hey now Tommy, have you got a new shirt?

Is its colour a fine bright blue?

Has your mother sent you off to your school

From the street with the pretty view?

And shall we wrestle in the old school yard

Like the other children do?

We can scuff your shoes, you can tear your hands

And I’ll rip that shirt off you

Hey now Tommy, since you moved away

They’ve taken our town and they’ve made it new

Now there stands a chemical plant

Where the cherry orchards grew

And I married Lucy from the back of our class

Who once wrote letters to you;

We’ve got kids and we send 'em to school

From the street with the pretty view

Oh oh, in your shirt of blue

Oh oh, in your shirt of blue

Maybe, Tommy

You grew up too quick

From the fields

Where the flowers grew

From a butterfly stick

To a baton and a brick

Changing uniforms

Far too soon

Hey now, Tommy, shall we meet again

In the morning wet with dew?

Me at the gates of the colliery

You in your shirt of blue

And shall we wrestle in the muddy patch

Like the other poor men do?

We can scuff our boots, we can tear our hands

And I’ll rip that shirt off you
