Текст песни: Bugles In The Afternoon + перевод

A daring young corporal loved sweet Polly and

Polly was promised to the captain man

To the captain man

The corporal say «Polly, kiss me tenderly»

Polly say to the corporal «I hope the captain don’t catch me

I hope he don’t catch me»

And the captain marched his soldiers

And the soldiers sang a tune

And the corporal courted Polly

And the bugles played in the afternoon

The captain say «I don’t think Polly’s love is true

He say «come here corporal, I wanna talk to you

I wanna talk to you

There’s trouble with the Indians, you ride out and see

And if there’s less than fifty, don’t you bother me

Don’t you bother me»

And the captain marched his soldiers

And the soldiers sang a tune

And the corporal rode away

And the bugles played in the afternoon

Next morning they found the corporal lying there on the ground

Forty six dead Indians lying there all around

Lying all around

The captain said «The corporal was so brave, you see

There wasn’t fifty Indians so he didn’t bother me

He didn’t bother me»

And the captain marched his soldiers

And the soldiers sang a tune

And Polly cried for the corporal

And the bugles played in the afternoon
