Текст песни: Shady Grove Blues + перевод

Standing on the mountain, far as I can see

Standing on the mountain, just as far as I can see

Dark clouds above me, clouds all around poor me

Feeling low and weary, Lord, I’ve got trouble in mind

Feeling low and weary, Lord, I’ve got a troublin' mind

Everything just gets me, everybody’s so unkind

Harvest time’s coming and will catch me unprepared

Harvest time’s coming and will catch me unprepared

Haven’t made a dollar, bad luck is all I’ve had

Lord, how can I bear it, Lord, what will the harvest bring?

Lord, how can I bear it, Lord, what will the harvest bring?

Putting up all my money and I isn’t got a doggone thing

I’m a weary traveler roaming around from place to place

I’m a weary traveler roaming around from place to place

If I don’t find something this will end me in disgrace

Ain’t got no mother, father left me long ago

Ain’t got no mother, father left me long ago

I’m just like an orphan, where my folks is I don’t know

Blues around my shoulder, blues all around my head

Blues around my shoulder, blues all around my head

With my heavy burden, Lord, I wished I was dead
