Текст песни: Louise + перевод

Me and Louise never had much luck

Just a couple of kids with a lot of love

Laid our fortunes on her daddy’s old farm

Didn’t see how dirt could do such harm

Seasons came and the seasons left

The only thing that changed was the shape of her dress

She said: you’re a good man, you’ll have my child

You can’t raise a living a thing on this cursëd old ground

We laid a sheet on the piano keys

Crying good lord, please, please

Packed our things into the old farm car

Wondering if it could take us very far

And I said

Everything about it takes a little luck

Gears rumble — and the left door’s stuck

It doesn’t come with any guarantees

But there’s gas in the tank, Louise

Out here on the borderline the sun sets low

Like a couple of jackrabbits dancing in the morning snow

Knew we’d make it, if we could just get out

The only thing we saw was love in sow

Miles came and the miles went

Our hearts full — our money spent

Somewhere outside El Paso my Louise cried out

She took my arm — said, «It's time now»

I prayed and waited all night

Oh Louise, please, please

I heard a new voice with the new day

I thought back to what her Daddy used to say

And he said

Everything about it takes a little luck

Gears rumble — and the left door’s stuck

It doesn’t come with any guarantees

But there’s gas in the tank, Louise

Then me and Louise didn’t go too far

We named our boy for Louise’s pa

Found a plot of ground we could call our own

We built a house — we built a home

And we said

Everything about it takes a little luck

Gears rumble — and the left door’s stuck

It doesn’t come with any guarantees

But there’s gas in the tank, Louise

But there’s gas in the tank

But there’s gas in the tank

But there’s gas in the tank

Louise
