Текст песни: Don't Forget This Song + перевод

My home’s in old Virginia

Among the lovely hills

The memory of my birthplace

Lies in my bosom still

I did not like my fireside

I did not like my home

I have a mind for rambling

So far away from home

It was on one moonlight evening

The stars were shining bright

And with an ugly dagger

I made the spirits fly

To friends I bid adieu

To parents I bid farewell

I landed in Chicago

In the very midst of hell

While I was in the sober it struck me

As plain as you can see

I’m doomed, I’m ruined forever

Throughout eternity

I courted a fair young lady

Her name I will not tell

Oh, why should I disgrace her

When I am doomed for hell

But now I’m upon my scaffold

My time’s not very long

You may forget the singer

But don’t forget this song
