Текст песни: The Last Time I Saw Annie + перевод

Well they say that Annie’s married

And livin' on the mainland,

And workin' as a waitress

While her husband runs a crane.

But the last time I saw Annie,

We were s’posed to meet in Calais,

Back in nineteen sixty-seven

But my Annie never came.

Now some people are farmers.

And others farm the oceans.

And some men own the factories that clutter up the towns.

And some people are good folks

And others they’re just outlaws

But Annie was an angel, and me, I hang around.

Now the old man at the station

Say’s he’s got a pint of whisky.

And he keeps it mighty handy

And forgets the things he’s told.

And I’m headin' out for nowhere,

For ten days dodgin' memories,

And ten nights in a barroom

And I know it’s gettin' cold.

Now I know that I’ll forget her

'Cause I try not to remember.

But I’ve always been a dreamer

Dreamin' dreams of long ago.

But the last time I saw Annie,

We were s’posed to meet in Calais,

When we both we young and hungry

But my Annie never showed.

Now the road does not run smooth

It runs in gentle desperation.

And there are memories of the kindness

That we find along the way.

And they say that Annie’s married

And she saves for her vacation.

It’s a solid situation and it passes time away.

But the last time I saw Annie,

We were s’posed to meet in Calais,

Back in nineteen sixty-seven

But my Annie never came.
