Текст песни 1922 Blues (Charlie Parr) с переводом

Well I worked all summer couldn’t save a cent

I gave all my money to the government

I don’t know quite how it got spent

But the banks are coming for my deed, boys

Man at the mill can’t see, boys

To let me get my feed for free, boys

Ain’t that the way it is

Well I cut out down a gravel road

I traded my stock for a V-8 Ford

Dad’s .410 down on the floor board

And the titles wrote down to me, boys

That gasoline ain’t free, boys

This clutch wearin' out my knee, boys

Ain’t that the way it is

Well I met me a woman down in St. Paul

I even met her mother and I met her Pa

Brother told me he’d bust my jaw

If I talked to his sister again, boys

Told me I couldn’t win, boys

There’s blood running down my chin now

Ain’t that the way it is

Well I slept all night on the bar room floor

And woke up this morning my head was sore

Pockets empty but I want some more

The bar man’s got my car, boys

Tabs worth more by far, boys

I’ll leave her down at the bar now

Ain’t that the way it is

Well I hitched me a ride on the way back home

I got me a job on a family farm

Times are hard here but I can’t roam

And I ain’t got nothing more, boys

I owe that company store, boys

Road’s looking good for sure, boys

Ain’t that the way it is

Well I worked all summer couldn’t save a cent

I gave all my money to the government

I don’t know quite how it got spent

But the banks are coming for my deed, boys

Man at the mill can’t see, boys

To let me get my feed for free, boys

But ain’t that the way it is
