Текст песни: The Ballad of Donnie Gene + перевод

Donnie, you’re a fine young man

You’re hoping to take the hand

Of some sweet thing who understands

What this world’s about

She’s careful with a clever mind

Impervious to pick up lines

Just slow down and give her time

I bet she’ll come around

Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you

She’s the kind of woman that only speaks the truth

She’ll give you blue-eyed babies, and she’ll raise ‘em real good, too

Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you

Don, you’ve got yourself a wife

You only had to ask her twice

But rest assured, she’s on your side

Until you breathe your last

Together you will build a home

A legacy stronger than stone

You’ll work them fingers to the bone

But she will hold you fast

Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you

She’s the kind of woman that only speaks the truth

She’ll give you blue-eyed babies, and she’ll raise ‘em real good, too

Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you

Donnie, you’re a grey, old man

But that sweet thing still holds your hand

She’s there to help you take a stand

Now that standing’s hard

The girl stuck with you through it all

Faithful in the rise and fall

Soon you’ll hear the master call

And away you will depart

You’ll leave her with a full and heavy heart

Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you

She’s the kind of woman that only speaks the truth

She’ll give you blue-eyed babies, and she’ll raise ‘em real good, too

Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you

She won’t give up on you
