Ride This Train (Part 4) — текст песни (Johnny Cash)

Ride this train to Bogaloosa Louisiana see these swamps and forest
Man`s never set foot in a lot of it
You`ll find aligator mink coon possum squirrel otter and the lakes`re full of fish
You`ll find places so virgin and fresh
That you`d think the Lord just created it yesterday
As a matter of fact some people say when this world was made
A whole lot of it just must have looked like southern Louisiana does now
In 1788 I left Halifax Nova Scotia with about two hundred other Acadians
We made a long tiring journey south
In our party of two hundred there was this beautiful girl
That I just haven`t quite been able to forget
Dorraine was her name and Dorraine and I were
Well we were kinda pledged to each other
And then we said when we got to the promised land
We`d build us a house and someday we`d have
The biggest sugar-cane plantation in the country
And I used to make Dorraine blush
When I`d tell her we`d raise the biggest family in the country too
