Текст песни: Forefather + перевод

No, I never met a man as much a coward

Jealous woman got you under her power

Took a train to Rogers County when I was young

Just to see where the bad half of my mind come from

And what I found there was a weak man

He stared at me with robot eyes so I could understand

He’d been held under a slave-driver's thumb

Couldn’t muster up the strength to run, to run

Old man, old man

I got my mother’s eyes

Old man, old man

I got my mother’s eyes

Out on the farm, they’re diggin' up skeletons

So keep your secrets to yourself, don’t ask questions

Or she’ll come around and grab you up by the hand

Carry you off to die, just like she did, she did my old man

Old man, old man

I got my mother’s eyes

Old man, old man

I got my mother’s eyes

Old man, old man

I got my mother’s eyes

Old man, old man

I got my mother’s eyes

Hold a flame to your name

I’ve removed you from my vein

There’s no way you could ever hold sway

Over a father’s legacy

Old man, old man

I got my mother’s eyes

Old man, old man

I got my mother’s eyes

Old man, old man

I got my mother’s eyes

Old man, old man

I got my mother’s eyes
