Текст песни: Shame On The Family Name + перевод

Since I remember

Every word my daddy said, ha

As he lay dying on his dying bed

He said I’m leaving you with a fine reputation

I built this family on a strong foundation

Mama began to cry, the kids had tears in their eyes

And these were the last words that my Daddy said

Don’t bring shame (Shame)

Don’t bring shame (Shame)

On the family name (On the family name!)

Oh no

Wasn’t long after my Daddy had gone

Little sister turned 21, that’s a-right, she was grown

Every night she’d bring a different man home

I could lay in my room, and I could hear them carrying on

Sometimes I believe she’s got rocks in her head

I know she remember what my Daddy said

Don’t bring shame (Shame)

Don’t bring shame (Shame)

On the family name (On the family name!)

Oh no

Don’t bring shame (Shame)

Don’t bring shame (Shame)

On the family name (On the family name!)

Oh no

Bad news from the police department caused Mama to have a heart attack (Mama

had a heart attack)

Little sister got the news and she came slinking back

But it was too late, there wasn’t a thing that she could do

But kneel at the Mama’s grave and cry the whole day through

I could see the guilt in her eyes, I could tell she realized

As she slowly dropped her head, and this is what she said

I brought shame

I brought shame, shame

On the family name (On the family name!)

Oh yeah

I brought shame

I brought shame, shame

On the family name (On the family name!)

I’m sorry Mama

I brought shame

I brought shame, shame

On the family name (On the family name!)
