Текст песни: Jails of Buffalo + перевод

It was on the sixth of April

Lying in my bed

Thinking on the sorrows

that crown my aching head

surrounded I was by officers cruel

and with them forced to go

to serve a long and dreary trip

In the jails of Buffalo

There’s such a bunch of devils there

you never saw before

theres robbers theives and highwaymen

and crooks from every shore

they sing a song the whole night long

and curse and spit all so

It serves for entertainment

In the jails of Buffalo

When I am done and pardoned

and once more I am free

I’ll go down to Sandusky

my true love for to see

perhaps me boys she’ll give me the bounce

when she does come to know

I led a gang of smugglers

To the jails of Buffalo

Well my girl she came from Patterson

The truth to you I’ll tell

She was an only daughter

and her parents loved her well

they brought her up in fear of the lord

It’s little did they know

She married to a smuggler who

served time in Buffalo

Come all you boys who sail on the lakes

do not a smugglin go

You’ll rue the day

they put you away

In the jails of Buffalo
