Текст песни: Loving County + перевод

Well, I loved a girl she lived down in Pecos

Pretty as she could be

I worked the rigs on out in Odessa

To give her whatever she needs

But that girl she runs with an

old company bum

'Cause a diamond was not in her hand

But he left her soon 'neath the big

Loving moon

To go out and x-ray the land

Now I sit in my car

At the new rainbow bar downtown

And the frost on the windshield shines

toward the sky

Like a thousand tiny diamonds in the lights

of Loving County

I walked in that bar and I drank

myself crazy

Thinking about her and that man

When in walked a woman

Lookin' richer than sin and ten years worth

of work on her hand

Well, I followed her home and when she

was alone

I put my gun to her head

I don’t' recall what happened next at all

But now that rich woman she’s dead

Now I drive down the highway

ten miles from

My sweet baby’s arms

And the moon is so bright it don’t

look like night

And the diamond how it sparkles in the

lights of Loving County

She opened that door and I knelt

on the floor

Then I put that ring in her hand

And she said I do

And she’d leave with me as soon to the rigs

Out in South Alabama

Well, I told her to hide that ring there inside

And wait till the timing was good

Then I drove on home and I was alone

When I thought that she understood

The next night an old friend

Just called me to wish us both well

Said he’d seen her downtown

sashayin' around

And her diamond how it sparkled in the

lights of Loving County

Well the sheriff he found

Me out wanderin' all around

El Paso the very next day

See I’d lost my mind on that

broken white line

Fore I ever reached Balmorhea

Now she’s in Fort Worth and she’s just

given birth

To the son of that oil company man

And they buried that sheriff’s poor ol' dead wife

With the ring that I stole on her hand

Sometimes they let me look up at that

East Texas sky

And the rain on the pines oh Lord,

how it shines

Like my darlin' little diamond in the lights

of Loving County
