Текст песни: Little New Jersey Town + перевод

Somewhere up in New Jersey

There’s a little ol' sleepy town

That goes to bed and rises with the sun

The highway cuts its way

Through the hollows and the hayfields

And through the town the whisping cars have spun

There’s a little boy who lives

Just a half a mile away

Who walks along the highway every day

A couple of years ago

Away from home the young boy strayed

And he lost his arm unto a trapper’s blade

>Have you seen a young blue hound?

>Have you seen the boy around?

>Have you driven through a little old Jersey town?

Well the day finally came

As to all kids does the same

That the boy would start up at the red brick school

But the other kids made fun

Without knowing what they’d done

So he quickly learned about the Golden Rule

Deep down in the woods

Where the lonesome boy had stood

He saw a hound dog shivering in the snow

The path did stretch and wind

As the hound dog tagged behind

So on the way to home the two did go

The young boy and the hound

Took the blessing that they’d found

And washed away the sadness and the gloom

Their love grew deep and wide

As they combed the countryside

And all around the happiness did bloom

The hound would always wait

At the rusty old school gate

For his pal to finish up the day

Till one day the boy did find

How the world was so unkind

And in the road his only friend it lay
