Текст песни: If He Came Back Again + перевод

Jennings:

You’d’ve thought a king had died

The way those people cried

Instead of one more broken entertainer

Kristofferson:

It struck those in his trade

He could-a had it made

If he’d only been a little saner

Jennings:

They traveled far to see him

Oh, the humble and the high

They said goodbye as if he were a friend

All:

Now somewhere he is smilin'

On those who idolize him

But would they not recognize him

If he came back again?

Nelson:

He was born of modest means

And had outrageous dreams

They never let him rest till he fullfilled them

Cash:

While he rode that train of song

His devils tagged along

The whiskey and the pills just couldn’t kill him

Nelson:

He didn’t mean to be a rebel

Cash:

No the real ones never do

Nelson:

They are born apart from ordinary men

All:

And somewhere he is smilin'

On those who sanctify him

But would they not recognize him

If he came back again?

Jennings:

But it’s an old, familiar story

Kristofferson:

But it’s a damn shame nonetheless

Nelson:

They don’t forgive his kind

Cash:

Until they lay them down to rest

All:

And somewhere he is smilin'

On those who idolize him

But would they not recognize him

If he came back again?

If he came back again?

Cash attempts to sing the last line again and that seems to be wrong and very

funny to everyone
