Текст песни: Watches And Chains + перевод

You and mother would cry when dad went away

Selling his watches and chains

He’d be gone for a while

Weeks at a time

The neighbors all started to say

You and your mother should not disagree that he’s wasting away

(Wasting) Wasting, wasting away

All of his morals, theology

Have been left to decay

(Left to) Left to decay

Where is your meat?

Where is your fruit, where is your bread

Have you eaten today?

(Have you) Have you eaten today?

You and your mother would say

Pay them no heed, they don’t know what they say

They don’t know what they say

Then your father would come home

All of your doubts, questions, and worries were gone

The house across the street

The rumors and lies they were near

You and your mother should not disagree that he’s wasting away

(Wasting) Wasting, wasting away

All of his morals, theology

Have been left to decay

(Left to) Left to decay

Where is your meat?

Where is your fruit, where is your bread

Have you eaten today?

(Have you) Have you eaten today?

You and your mother would say

Pay them no heed, they don’t know what they say

They don’t know what they say

So get your bible and read

The passages written for thee

So rumors don’t set in as truth

So your neighbor’s lies don’t get to you

And you and your mom shouldn’t cry

For dad will be home in due time

He has only left to provide

A meal and a roof to stay dry
