Текст песни: The Road From Houston To Waco + перевод

I was born Vernon Wayne Howell of Houston

My ma, she was just fourteen

My daddy, he was a carpenter

Who had gone before I was weaned

Now childhood, it is a lonely time

When the great keep to themselves

I had rote learned the whole New Testament

By the time that I was twelve

My daddy, he was a carpenter

My ma was just fourteen

There is a road from Houston to Waco

With the whole world in between

I met a girl and she fell pregnant

But they took my child away

And so I ran to the loving arms of the Advent Church

And there I knelt me down and I did pray

I saw a Bible and it had fallen open

On Isaiah thirty-four where it did state

That in Zion all shall read of the Lord

And none shall want for a mate

My daddy, he was a carpenter

My ma was just fourteen

There is a road from Houston to Waco

With the whole world in between

So I sought out for myself the pastor’s daughter

But he discovered me and he cast me from his fold

But then I did hear tell of a woman up here in Waco

She was sixty-nine years old

It was the will of God that the two of us should become lovers

And give birth to the chosen one

That woman never bore this manna child

But in this man she bore a sacred son

My daddy, he was a carpenter

My ma was just fourteen

There is a road from Houston to Waco

With the whole world in between

My daddy, he was a carpenter

My ma was just fourteen

There is a road from Houston to Waco

With the whole world in between
