Mississippi Half Step (Live at Springfield Civic Center, Springfield, MA - 3/28/73)
Mississippi Half Step (Live at Springfield Civic Center, Springfield, MA - 3/28/73)
On
the
day
when
I
was
born
Daddy
sat
down
and
cried.
Le
jour
de
ma
naissance,
papa
s'est
assis
et
a
pleuré.
I
had
the
mark
just
as
plain
as
day;
which
could
not
be
denied.
J'avais
la
marque,
aussi
claire
que
le
jour,
impossible
à
nier.
They
say
that
Cain
caught
Abel
rollin′
loaded
dice;
On
dit
que
Caïn
a
attrapé
Abel
en
train
de
tricher
aux
dés,
Ace
of
Spades
behind
his
ear
and
him
not
thinkin'
twice.
L'As
de
Pique
derrière
l'oreille,
et
il
n'y
a
pas
pensé
à
deux
fois.
Halfstep,
Mississippi
uptown
toodeloo
Hello,
baby,
I′m
gone,
good-bye
Demi-pas,
Mississippi,
en
haut
de
la
ville,
toodeloo
Salut,
chérie,
je
m'en
vais,
au
revoir
Half
a
cup
of
Rock
and
Rye.
Farewell
to
you
old
Southern
skies
Une
demi-tasse
de
Rock
and
Rye.
Adieu
à
vous,
vieux
cieux
du
Sud
I'm
on
my
way,
on
my
way.
Je
suis
en
route,
en
route.
If
all
you
got
to
live
for
is
what
you
left
behind,
Si
tout
ce
que
tu
as
pour
vivre,
c'est
ce
que
tu
as
laissé
derrière
toi,
Get
yourself
a
powder
charge
and
seal
that
silver
mine.
Procure-toi
une
charge
de
poudre
et
scelle
cette
mine
d'argent.
Lost
my
boots
in
transit,
baby,
pile
of
smokin'
leather.
J'ai
perdu
mes
bottes
en
transit,
ma
chérie,
un
tas
de
cuir
fumant.
I
nailed
a
retread
to
my
feet
and
prayed
for
better
weather.
J'ai
cloué
un
rechapage
à
mes
pieds
et
j'ai
prié
pour
un
meilleur
temps.

They
say
that
when
your
ship
comes
in,
the
first
man
takes
the
sails;
On
dit
que
quand
ton
navire
arrive,
le
premier
homme
prend
les
voiles;
The
second
takes
the
after
deck,
the
third
the
planks
and
rails.
Le
deuxième
prend
le
pont
arrière,
le
troisième
les
planches
et
les
rails.
What's
the
point
of
callin′
shots;
this
cue
ain't
straight
in
line.
Quel
est
l'intérêt
d'appeler
les
coups
; cette
queue
n'est
pas
droite.
Cue
ball′s
made
of
Styrofoam
and
no
one's
got
the
time.
La
boule
blanche
est
faite
de
polystyrène
et
personne
n'a
le
temps.

Across

Rio

Across
the
lazy
river.
De

côté
du
Rio
Grandeeo,
de
l'autre
côté
de
la
rivière
paresseuse.
