Текст песни The Old Men and the Sea (Larry Joe Taylor) с переводом

They’re sittin' around on the benches

Hangin' out in the bars

Sun-made cracks and wrinkles

The sea-made fishin' scars

They got enough rhymes and reasons

To make a short story tall

But they ain’t sayin' nothin'

Even though they know it all

(Chorus)

It’s anybody’s guess so don’t ask me

That’s between the old men

The old men and the sea

Back when they were all younger

Out on Crescent Bay

The current they were fishin' in

Swept one of them away

Try as they might to find him

None of them ever could

If they’d looked forever

Would it have done any good

(Chorus)

There were rumors they were drinkin'

Rumors of a fight

Rumors that you never wanna

Hear about that night

Anytime they’re together

You can cut it with a knife

The only thing they won’t talk about

Is that one time in their life

The papers said it was an accident

Or did he just swim away

Only them old men know for sure

What happened out on that bay

(Chorus)

So they’re sittin' around on the benches

Hangin' out in the bars

Sun-made cracks and wrinkles

And the sea-made fishin' scars
