Текст песни: Jericho + перевод

Down the Mississippi

Where the cotton grows

I left my heart to a poor man’s son

Who came from Jericho

He took me to the river

Got down on his knee

I broke his aim when I walked away

Then I ate from the apple tree

Fare thee well Joseph Cain

I’m not ready for the alter

I’ll be gone before tomorrow

I just want to be free

I’ll blow my horn before I go

I love you more than you’ll ever know

But I’m never going back to Jericho

I drove straight through to Austin

This old guitar and me

I strummed my way down through Baton Rouge

Then I headed up to Tennessee

I got myself a spotlight

On a beat up barroom stage

Bought a pretty dress

Now I’m the queen of the Harvest Day parade

Fare thee well Joseph Cain

I’m not ready for the alter

I’ll be gone before tomorrow

I just want to be free

I’ll blow my horn from where I go

Just to let you know I still love you so

But I’m never going back to Jericho

Been driving now for miles

The folks been mighty kind

I made myself a name you may recall

Perhaps you caught my show sometime

But somewhere between Dixie

And this life I’ve come to know

I lost the love of the only one

Made me feel free in my soul

Fare thee well Joseph Cain

I’m not ready for the alter

I’ll be gone before tomorrow

I just want to be free

I’ll blow my horn before I go

I love you more than you’ll ever know

But I’m never going back to Jericho
