Текст песни: Coney Isle + перевод

Said, I went down to the Turkish feast

People was eatin' like big wild geese

I’m on my way, I’m goin' back, Coney Isle

Talk about people have a devil of a time

Eatin' up chicken and a-drinkin' the wine

I’m on my way, I’m goin' back, Coney Isle

Bake that flapjack, bake him brown

Swing them flapjacks around, around

I’m on my way, I’m goin' back, Coney Isle

Make that featherbed and make it up a-right

Old Miner Brown are gonna stay all night

I’m on my way, I’m goin' back, Coney Isle

Some folks say that a coon won’t steal

I caught three in my cornfield

I’m on my way, I’m goin' back, Coney Isle

One had a bushel and the other 'un had a peck

The other 'un had a roastin' ear tied around his neck

I’m on my way, I’m goin' back, Coney Isle

Coon is settin' on the end of a log

Finger on his trigger, but his eye on the hog

I’m on my way, I’m goin' back, Coney Isle

Gun went, «Boom!», the hog went, «Zip!»

Coon jumped on it with all of his grip

I’m on my way, I’m goin' back, Coney Isle

Along comes Sal, hoppin' down the street

Patent leather shoes and kitten feet

Good mornin' babe, hello now

Get over there Sal, sooey on now, babe

Hello Sal, I know you

One old slipper and a run-down shoe

Good morning now, sooey

Go on, Sal, get on over now, babe

People downtown gettin' so mean

It’s chased the coons up a 'simmon tree

I’m on my way, I’m goin' back, Coney Isle

Makes no difference how the time may be

Everything in the world sure suits me

I’m on my way, I’m goin' back, Coney Isle

Get over, Sal, you ain’t allowed in the street

Crawdad man done passed his gate

Go on now, sooey on, babe, get over now

When I get ready to leave this Earth

I look a-back, say my money’s worth

I’m on my way, I’m goin' back, Coney Isle
