Текст песни: Jean Louise + перевод

Wake up, Scout, there’s something smokin' in the trees,

The nightingales are fleeing and the mad dogs are in the street.

Papa’s got the answers and your brother thinks he knows.

The neighborhood’s on fire, the camellias are frosted cold.

Jean Louise, I’ll tell ya that your bare feet are still to loud

For sneaking through the garden,

got bells on your ankles and the belfries

Lilacs, and violets and a shotgun blast

The mockingbirds in whispers like the sky before the flash

The neighborhood is lit up bright

And all the town is shootin' wild

Run along, Jean Louise, while you’re still a child

Run along, Jean Louise, while you’re still a child

Teacher’s got an apple and trouble put a rose in your hair

Last night you heard people fighting on the courthouse stairs.

The jury got their man and the judge had little to say,

There’s a finch in your hen, Scout, you better let it fly away

The neighborhood is lit up bright

And all the town is shootin' wild

Run along, Jean Louise, while you’re still a child

Run along, Jean Louise, while you’re still a child

Lightening in the morning and thunder in the afternoon

Rain in the evening and you’ll be a woman soon

There’s a sparrow in your pocket, it fell from the willow tree

And everyone’s got something that’s keeping them from being free

The neighborhood is lit up bright

And all the town is shootin' wild

Run along, Jean Louise, while you’re still a child

Run along, Jean Louise, while you’re still a child
