Текст
My brother and I were out hunting
A stray bullet made him its mark
I carried him back to the cabin
His life nothing more than a spark
He whispered to me very softly
Dear brother, I'm going away
So listen and come to me closely
There's so much that I have to say
My sweetheart, her dear name is Sally
Her mother and father have died
She's waiting alone in the valley
When I left her, oh how she cried
I promised to bring her my fortune
Return to the valley and wed
But I've had a call from my maker
So I'll have to go there instead
He gave me the ring he had bought her
And told of the plans they had made
He spoke of how long she had waited
And for his return, how she prayed
He gave me a small piece of paper
The will he had made for this day
I promised to do as he wanted
The Good Lord would show me the way
He gave me his home in the valley
And all of the money he had
He asked me to marry his Sally
And promise she'd never be sad
But once long ago we were rivals
For I loved her too from the start
I'd made up my mind to stay single
For Sally had broken my heart
My dear brother went up to heaven
And I went to our valley home
But Sally had married another
So what's left for me but to roam?
I pray the good Lord up above me
To keep Brother's faith in me still
His Sally was fickle, unfaithful
That's why I broke my brother's will.
Перевод
Мы с братом были на охоте
Шальная пуля оставила в нем след
Я отнесла его обратно в хижину
Его жизнь - не более чем искра
Он прошептал мне очень тихо
Дорогой брат, я ухожу
Так что послушай и подойди ко мне поближе
Мне так много нужно сказать
Моя возлюбленная, ее дорогое имя - Салли
Ее мать и отец умерли
Она ждет одна в долине
Когда я оставил ее, ох, как она плакала
Я обещал принести ей свое состояние
Вернись в долину и женись
Но мне позвонил мой создатель
Так что мне придется пойти туда
Он дал мне кольцо, которое купил ей
И рассказал о своих планах составил
Он рассказал о том, как долго она ждала
И как она молилась о его возвращении
Он дал мне небольшой листок бумаги
Завещание, которое он составил на этот день
Я обещал сделать так, как он хотел
Добрый Господь укажет мне путь
Он подарил мне свой дом в долине
И все деньги, которые у него были
Он попросил меня женись на его Салли
И обещай, что она никогда не будет грустить
Но когда-то давно мы были соперниками
Ибо я тоже любил ее с самого начала
Я решил остаться одинок
Ибо Салли разбила мне сердце
Мой дорогой брат вознесся на небеса
И я отправился домой в нашу долину
Но Салли вышла замуж за другого
И что мне остается, кроме бродить?
Я молю доброго Господа надо мной
Чтобы брат все еще верил в меня
Его Салли была непостоянной и неверной
Вот почему я нарушил волю брата.
