Текст песни: Ballad of William Worthy + перевод

Well, it’s of a bold reporter whose story I will tell

He went down to the Cuban land, the nearest place to hell

He’d been there many times before but now the law does say

The only way to Cuba is with the C.I.A

William Worthy isn’t worthy to enter our door

Went down to Cuba, he’s not American anymore

But somehow it is strange to hear the state department say

You are living in the free world, in the free world you must stay

Five thousand dollars or a five year sentence may well be

For a man who had the nerve to think that traveling is free

Oh, why’d he waste his time to see a dictator’s reign

When he could have seen democracy by traveling on to Spain?

William Worthy isn’t worthy to enter our door

Went down to Cuba, he’s not American anymore

But somehow it is strange to hear the state department say

You are living in the free world, in the free world you must stay

So, come all you good travelers and fellow travelers too

Yes and travel all around the world, see every country through

I’d surely like to come along and see what may be new

But my passport’s disappearing as I sing these words to you

William Worthy isn’t worthy to enter our door

Went down to Cuba, he’s not American anymore

But somehow it is strange to hear the state department say

You are living in the free world, in the free world you must stay

Well, there really is no need to travel to these evil lands

Yes and though the list grows larger you must try to understand

Try hard not to worry if someday you should hear

The whole world is off limits, visit Disneyland this year

William Worthy isn’t worthy to enter our door

Went down to Cuba, he’s not American anymore

But somehow it is strange to hear the state department say

You are living in the free world, in the free world you must stay
